Just got a scam e-mail asking about purchasing art from me. They wanted me to send a bunch of pictures, presumably so they could steal the images. If you get a vague, odd-sounding e-mail asking about purchasing your work, copy the text and paste it into a search engine.

My painting "Fading Future" was awarded 2nd Place at the Virginia Highlands Festival exhibition at the Abingdon Arts Depot. Plus it sold, along with the other painting I had entered. Now I can buy a new roll of canvas.

I highly recommend this FREE program to help protect your art from AI piracy: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu

Posting unprotected, high resolution images of all your hard work only hastens your obsolescence.

"AI is not democratizing art and knowledge; it is privatizing and automating it under the control of billionaires..."

The trouble with AI art isn’t just lack of originality. It’s something far bigger | Eric Reinhart
When artwork is invented by a machine, it loses its most important power: to help people connect. In an already lonely era, that is particularly dangerous

Stalled out last weekend when I realized I didn't have the wood I needed to finish framing a few canvasses I had stretched. Bought some wood early this week, and cut it today into 216 feet of lattice for framing. That should last a while....
