On the AI apps for Discord: • only on Desktop, square in the right-hand corner of images • they're third-party extensions that have to be authorized to your account, DON'T DO THAT • Server Settings > Roles > Everyone > Use External Apps OFF SEND TICKET TO THEM support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

you dont need generative ai if you're socially connected to a bunch of artists and just post ideas so stupid they can't stop themselves from making them

How to tell a raven from a crow. An older guide I made with Dr Kaeli Swift. And yes that's an aileron roll, not a barrel roll, but only us nerds know that :)

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Hey, you know how money talks right? Cancel your Nitro Subscriptions. Don't buy anything from the shop to customize your profile. Until they either a.) remove the applications like this entirely, or b.) make it so you can opt-out let their wallets bleed dry. As an artist it's scummy as hell!

Honestly, anger works. Tear Discord apart for this. Tell them you are taking your money elsewhere and exploring alternative platforms until the rollback these additions.

Work done for #ShadowoftheWeirdWizard by Schwalb Entertainment in 2023. This one was a study in how adding a bit of context, the window bars in this case, can change the whole tone of a painting. #Art | #digitalart | #krita | #monsters | #creatures | #fantasyart | #illustration | #horror | #zombie

People want stories. We are drawn to the story in art. We pause and spend time with a painting until we find the joy in each brushstroke. In that moment we see the artist and storyteller like a wizard behind the curtain. That is absent in gen ai. Go be that storyteller. Go be human and create.

Sometimes a guinea pig will stare at or play with apparently nothing. Few mortals suspect that means a #pixie has come to de-stress with a (relatively) big, soft, warm playmate. 2022, an experiment with Krita's RBGA brushes #Art | #digitalart | #krita | #fantasyart | #pixie | #fantasy

A cover done for @slyflourish.com back in 2021, one of a series I did for their Lazy GM's series of books. Also a style study for me in David Teniers the Younger's work, which I was obsessed with for a good while. #Art | #digitalart | #krita | #monsters | #creatures | #fantasyart | #illustration

Back in 2021, @montyglu.bsky.social requested a faerie critter for @theunexpectables.bsky.social . It's one of my favorite pieces I've done, period. #Art | #digitalart | #krita | #monsters | #creatures | #fantasyart

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.” Huge.

This is a common graphic I used to see in the 90s when we were protesting. I've always loved how clear the message is.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours. I’m currently working on a new version.

Today marked the first time since late July that I was able to paint two speedpaintings at once pain free. It's been a journey, and I've still got rust to chip off and much to (re)learn, but this is a milestone I'm celebrating #Art | #digitalart | #krita | #elf | #nightelf | #dragon | #characterart

Today's the first time I'll be trying to accomplish two speedpaintings in a single stream. It's been a long road to recovery, but I'm so glad to be this close to fully back up to speed. I hope to see you there! Twitch.tv/thatartjack

Getting back to things with speedpaintings. This is the second I've done since my injury, and while there's a lot of rust still to work off, I'm happy with the progress.
