Basquiat at the Serpentine circa 96. Not apparent as an influence so much now but was over my college art/sketchbooks, that raw get an image down with writing style. Seen Rothko in multiple places and it always left me cold. Guernica is impressive though, I had no idea it was that big.

Thanks for the share! Here's a corvid and something kind of cat-like.

Pumpkin waterfall, which reminds me I need to get going on my annual Halloween painting for my better half 🎃👻

Various pumpkins, skulls & ghosties tumble down a hill, illuminated by the moon in a purple night sky

I wish it was. Best thing I saw last week was someone saying only Boomers like AI images (fuck calling them art) because it all has that Jack Kincade sheen. Which is unsurprising given how much 'art' all that shit scraped off facebook, like poisoned the well for all water.

If something that begins with John Millius introducing himself as Arnold in his accent, then Arnold introducing himself as Millius but making zero effort changing his voice, it's for you. Pretty sure it's on the bog-standard Conan DVD I have somewhere.

I feel like there's so much despair among creatives about AI, I feel it too. But I think there are many of us who are together in this boat. So sound off if you're a creative who denounces AI. Art, music, writing, photography, textiles, anything at all. Share your HUMAN MADE ART below.

Cheers! I use the trad Rider-Waite Tarot deck as inspiration but the cards are so flat (drawn by a theatre designer) they need some dynamic perspective.

Righto, I'm more human than human. Inline with that, some human art, namely 4 of my Tarot cards. These are all acrylic on paper.

The World Tarot: A woman floats above a cathedral like space, holding 2 wands. behind her a statue of an angel, an eagle, a bull & a lion
Temperance Tarot card: An Angel with red wings pours water from one cup to another. In the foreground some flowers, the background grass, water and the sky is night/day in concentric circles
High Priestess tarot: The Priestess sits barefoot & calmly between two pillars holding a scroll, a square cross on her chest and a metal crscent is in the foreground
The Empress tarot: She sits on a wide bench holding a bronze staff, a basket of pomegranates & cushions beside her. A shield by her leg, she is surrounded by corn and a waterfall flows in the distance.
