The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.
"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Also trying to remember to talk once in a while here bc I only yell into a void usually lol
Ah... Pretty much guaranteed that I got a work trial at a bigger gallery space... Idk if it will lead to any actual work since employment situation is what it is but man it feels good to be validated on the fact that this does seem like the field best fit for me

OCposting bc I remembered I haven't shared Kean here...
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

spread the word that 2026 will be the year of OCs. Every year should be but I think we should all aim to be more self indulgent in 2026
I finally watched the summer hikaru died and i'm miserable thank you so much
drawing of lu guang, a character from the series link click facing right, in profile view. he has white hair, blue eyes and a dress shirt on. the background is light blue with light purple wisteria flowers hanging from the top half of the piece as if he is under a wisteria tree. the two pieces in this post are laid out in such a way that the two characters face each other in a mirroring way.
a drawing of cheng xiaoshi, a character from link click. in profile, facing left. He has black hair in a ponytail and yellow eyes, and is wearing a blue/gold track jacket. the background is light blue, with blue and purple hydrangeas filling the bottom half of the piece, as if he is in a bush of them. the two pieces in this post are laid out in such a way that the two characters face each other in a mirroring way.

two dark haired and light skinned masculine human characters. one in the lap of the other, facing each other. they appear to be in a club setting with bright lights everywhere, sitting on a plush bench. the one on the lap is dressed in a purple ripped sweater with cute accessories while the other has a dark suit with a golden button down on. lapsitting character is frowning and has a cigarette in their hand while the other is smirking. it looks like the smaller one has snatched the cigarette from the other's mouth. smoke is twirling around above their heads
Sharing is Caring 😊
Might actually be my favorite movie

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

a stylized illustration with the text "generative AI was never ethical". The piece features a black cat pulling cables out of the back of a robot. The robot has a conveyor belt attached to it that is pulling in packages that read "stolen art, stolen writing, stolen voices, stolen videos, stolen likeness, stolen photos, stolen books, stolen code, and stolen ideas." The piece is a reminder that generative ai was built on the backs of real artists, photographers, writers, and everyone else's creative expressions as humans in order to churn out slop to feed back to us.

🔸I found my bluesky password! I can finally catch up on some art here. Let’s start with the koi tiger.
A naive floral illustration with a severed hand that was already all fucked up because it was made by a slopper. With the text “I don’t use ai I’m not a fucking loser”
Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience
