The point of making drawings is that it takes time. Time to think about and be with an experience, or a thought, or a feeling. Time to reflect on being human. A drawing records that time spent. Making drawings isn’t product making. A drawing is the record of a human being. Fuck AI.

This is the sort of stuff we're appalled that the white authorities did in North America and Australia. It's astonishing to think China are doing it now in Tibet. Petition is to get a UN investigation, shining international light on what's happening. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...
