It is so hard being this artistic and pretty all the time
Because sometimes people need to hear this: If you want to make some art, just make it. If you're worried it's going to be bad, that's fine. Make bad art just because you want to try. You don't have to show it to anyone if you don't want to. You don't have to finish it either! Just do it for fun!
A message I received a few days ago. Sharing it because I want other small creators to know that what you do matters. Books matter. Art matters. You never know what impact your work might have. Keep creating.
You CANNOT call yourself a leftist or pro-labor class and be pro-AI. These ideas are incompatible. AI is 100% for the capitalist class to harvest the work and skills from people without paying them, thus hoarding even more wealth. Even using it as a hobby feeds the machine.
I wanted to put it out there that I do rug commissions. I'm finishing one up right now and trying to take more on. If you have an idea for a totally handmade original rug, I wanna hear it! All you gotta do is fill out this form: zoolooco.bigcartel.com/custom-rugs#bsnm#commissions
These were my holy grail growing up. Yes, I know this ages me.
If you post AI images for kicks and giggles, I'm blocking you.
