An artist living in the cold North, being inspired by my surroundings; the nature and its animals.
My own heritage and its culture history, as well as old beliefs and myths color my works as well. #art

Info sheet of artist "Kalla" Tuonenkalla. On a brown background, featuring a drawing of their fursona that is a grey-colored lynx with brown snake tail. Includes drawings of their child as a baby lynx and their two cats. Info texts read: Asexual. Nonbinary. They're located in the northern Finland, and are Finnish-Karelian. Their family consists of a child and two cats. As a hobby they collect treasures from the nature, collect books and grow plants. Their tools of choice are different traditional media like watercolors, color pencils, gouache and soft pastels. Kalla's likes are: Nature and animals, self-sustainability, arts & crafts, photography, culture history. Kalla's dislikes are: Capitalism, inequality, societal expectations of "good and respectable" life, generative AI, NFT & art theft. Traditionally painted and drawn art depicting a lynx standing on a branch above the water, taking a drink from the lake. Ripples are formed on the water surface and the surrounding nature is covered in mist, making the atmosphere dream-like. Traditionally painted and drawn art depicting two arctic foxes in white winter fur, running through the sky. In the sky there are many many stars and big auroras. Traditionally painted and drawn art depicting a wolf standing, facing the viewer, head low and careful. In the picture a night has fallen, all is dark, except for the wolf that is blue in color and ghostly, glowing. The artwork is called "Spirit of the Wilderness", signifying that the wolf is not a real, living wolf, but rather a ghost or a spirit of the wilderness and its symbol the wild wolf, or what is left of them.

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!
the "myth of consensual sex" meme, remade. Entitled, "The myth of artistic freedom," It shows a man and a woman lying together, mostly naked, with speech bubbles that say "I want to draw it" and "I want to see it," and next to them are the Mastercard and Visa logos with a speech bubble that reads "I don't!" Bottom text says, "Isn't there some random payment processor you forgot to ask?"

Don’t put down that pencil and for the love of god never listen to anyone who tells you to draw something “nicer.” Find your niche and fill it. You’re the only you, and you’re indispensable.

C. Coles Phillips was an illustrator born in Springfield OH, a longtime staff artist at Life magazine & Good Housekeeping’s sole cover artist from 1912-14. He was famous for his “fadeaway girls,” figures which use the background color & negative space to fill in the blanks.

She is picked out from the black background by the red buttons and detailing on her long coat. A young lady poses in front of a beach umbrella, the shadow tones merging her figure with it.

Going to be showing my art in a gallery next week for a month which is fun! If you're in #shropshire then get on the A49 and head to Bromfield where there is a lovely art gallery above a farm shop called the Ludlow Farm Shop. You'll see mine and Matt Dixon's art there as guest artists from the 20th!

Good time to share this again. You can make these yourself BUT I also just make them too. It's a label sheet with 72 little tiny 100% human made labels on it. They're $2 a sheet and I'll make you as many sheets as you want: shop.aimeecozza.com/product/100-...
A hand with a tiny black and white sticker on the finger that says "100% human made, no AI used" with a sheet of them behind it.

Sarjispajassa kysyttiin voiko tekoälyltä kysyä neuvoa, jos ei heti keksi ideaa.

Sanoin, että meitä ehdollistetaan kärsimättömyyteen. Eihän ideoita kuulukaan keksiä heti!

"Idealihakset" kehittyvät ja ideat kypsyvät ajan kanssa. Ideointia voi treenata harjoitteilla. Mitä sitten tehtiinkin.
