I wanted to do some little tip sheets on quick-sketching people from life. So here you go! First, an introduction to my outline-centric approach -- I'll get into technique points later. (1/3)

Put this to bed now.

AI is not intelligent. Can't think. Can't create.

Can only regurgitate variations of what was trained on.

Is pretty amazing tech, no doubt. Can find previously-unobserved relationships in patterns.

But is just pattern recognition.

Currently isn't viable as technology.

Through A LOT of trial and error, I finally figured out how to print my own zines. Now I shall be UNSTOPPABLE!

I'll get these listed in my webshop tomorrow because I know exactly nobody has been waiting anxiously for me to print these zines that took untold hours to make.

This art show I declare closed!

Today we went to take down what was unsold and pick up the prints and tee shirts. (We also picked up the money we made for what _did_ sell, not insubstantial fare).
I thought I might share the flyer for our next art show, Peculiar Critters, to be held 3 October to 31 October at The Art Cafe in Palmer, Alaska.

Thank you to everyone who showed up! @cgfx.bsky.social and I had a great evening discussing digital #art and #dinosaurs (and sold some stickers and prints to boot!)
Happening tonight at The Art Cafe and other select locations around Palmer: The Fall Studio tour presented by the Palmer Arts Council!

Tickets are still available for $30 for non-arts council members and $20 for members: www.palmerarts.org/general-clean

Warning: AI is not intelligent.

As lifelong computer geek (started programming when was 12, way back on original Apple ][ so am ancient), first thing learned was *how computers work*.

Have kept up. Know how AI works. Have blank network; train with data. Is all word association.

📣 NEW SHIRT DESIGN DROPPED
I've lovingly edited one of my lino prints to convert it into a new shirt design, my first in a year! About time, right?
I decided to put this one on a sweatshirt too, just in time for the cool weather ☕

Saw something that @realgdt.bsky.social said the other day, and remembered I had something I started a while ago that I should finish up.

I'm so tired of all this.

And what scientists did ? Well we do have a rule that if different names are given to a single taxon, the oldest has the priority, so in many cases the whole plant is known by the first given name and we kept the others to refer to specific body parts, like Lepidostrobus are Lepidodendron's cones.

Also non zero chance they’re looking for people who post about going to the no kings rally. I am the type of person that thinks a rally needs more vocal support and visibility to be viable but you should also be careful in that there will be people who use your posts against you.
I refuse to believe it’s a coincidence that the entire executive branch has set up Bluesky accounts one day before our next #NoKings rallies.

Don’t engage. Just block them all.
