I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!
A screenshot of a tumblr post reading: "Title: So you want to learn pixel art? Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics! Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic." Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light. "My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art. This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

thought this was really beautiful
You’ve talked about passing the baton in the loop of life. How do you want Hideo Kojima to be remembered when you pass it on? I am not going to pass the baton to anyone. I will rather crush the baton… [Laughs.] I don’t need to give “Hideo Kojima” to anyone. If I pass the baton to my staff and tell them to make things the same way I do, the company will not succeed and will go out of business. What do you mean by that? Every day, if I tweet something that I like, a director or an actor or a musician contacts me. They say, “I’m a creator because of your games.” But they didn’t receive the baton of Hideo Kojima. They received my small fire. They’re not copying me. They’re not trying to be me. They have this fire, and they light up their own. And they’ll probably give that to someone else. There were legendary comic book artists when I was a boy. I didn’t become a comic book artist – I was inspired by them, I was influenced.

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in...

very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥
a screen from newgrounds. the text is as follows: How to Detect AI on the Newgrounds Audio Portal By Quest and ADR3-N The Rise of Generative AI  As generative AI (GenAI) tools have become more accessible, Newgrounds has received an alarming amount of AI-generated audio content. This “music” lacks the spirit and creativity of genuine, human effort and degrades the quality of the Audio Portal with cookie-cutter tracks that essentially sound the same. Furthermore, GenAI songs represent a certain amount of legal risk to our site, as AI models are trained on copyrighted material without consent.

The full thing! ( 1/2 )
The text "Shen Comix: Untitled Wolf / Sheep Comic (The Whole Thing)". The word "wolf" is stylized with wolf grey, light grey, and brown, with the "W" having a wolf tail and the "F" being a wolf claw. The word "sheep" look like it's made of wool, with a sheep ear on the "S" and the "P" and two ribbons on the two "E"s (blue, then reddish pink) making them look like small sheep. Also, there is the head of a wolf in a sheep costume in the top left, and the head of a sheep in the top right. Panel 1: A wolf is in a sheep costume with a yellow ribbon on the neck. He's in a flock of sheep. He's thinking "Hehehe... They don't know I'm really a wolf." Panel 2: A few of the sheep have approached the wolf. One is touching his 'wool', saying "oh my gosh, your wool is so soft!" Another is touching his ribbon, saying "and your ribbon is so pretty!" Panel 3: The sheep are pulling him along with them somewhere, saying "c'mon, let's go dance in the meadow!" and "let's dance and graze!" He is smiling and beginning to blush. Panel 4: Two wolves are sitting at a campfire. One has his head in his hands. The other is saying "It's been 4 days, where the hell is he." Panel 1: A wolf dressed as a sheep with a yellow ribbon around his neck is dancing in a circle with a bunch of actual sheep, hands joined. They are all laughing merrily. Panel 2: Closeup of the wolf laughing, having a good time just dancing together. Panel 3: Still that closeup but he he now tied up in the dark somewhere. Panel 4: We zoom out to see that he's tied up sitting on a rock in the forest, with two other wolves from his pack standing to either side of him. One is saying "we're definitely gonna have to do some 'de-programming' here." Panel 5: The other wolf puts his head on the sheep-wolf's head and says "don't worry, buddy! We'll get you back to your regular wolf self in no time." Panel 6: All three of them are now dressed as sheep and dancing in the circle. Panel 1: A sheep is standing with a blank expression holding a hoof-glove in one of his hooves. Panel 2: It's revealed that he took it off of a wolf in a sheep costume with a yellow ribbon. Maybe he tried to take the wolf by the hand and the glove game off, revealing his wolf claw, which is now outstretched towards him. Panel 3: The sheep has an expression of absolute horror looking at the wolf. He says "you ... y-your ..." Panel 4: The sheep, still with a horrified expression, looks down at the hoof and yells "YOUR HOOF FELL OFF!!!!" Panel 5: Two sheep are carrying the wolf on a stretcher and one is running alongside with the hoof glove. The wolf is holding his claw up vertically like it's a broken hand.
