Genuinely?
I don't.
And yet, I can't stop doodling, sketching, drawing, making things, etc.
Inspiration isn't the word I'd use, moreso...I make things because I need to, to process everything around me, or to escape from it.
And, failing that? I draw because it makes others smile.
I don't.

Fellow artists: curious how you stay inspired, especially in light of the oppressive presence of AI and general turmoil in the world.
Everything is making me so tired. My instinct to avoid and withdraw is quite high these days.

There's no magic words that fix it all or show you a secret truth you can depend on to stay inspired and creative.
In truth, creativity isn't used just for art - we are told (and instructed, demanded) to "creatively problem solve" all issues we face.
A world of them.
Art is a tool we use to communicate. Ai is taking those words and feelings and mixing them together into simlish.
Some might like it, many don't "get" it, and most don't want to waste time on it.
That's, often, why genAi is so captivating to people, and why I'm unafraid.
It helps to shift your perspective. We are tiny. We are so small, in this moment.
But it has taken a great many people before us - many just as we are now, afraid and u sure and even hunted and oppressed - to get you here.
Idk, man, as I get older and I experience more, the world just seems like a vast place with more good than evil can ever endure, and the way I engage with it reflects that!
it's half compulsion, half coping mechanism, you know? I HAVE to, just because, but also it makes me feel less horrible.
I used to worry about making The Right Stuff when I was first sharing my art online, but now I figure....
idk, I'm like a bumble bee... I'll bumble by on my way, and if I happen to make you smile, I'm happy to have done so!
