This is my painting, "Disappoint," and is number 14 in the Close Encounters Collection. Had a lot of fun with the colors!

Godmorgon mastodoningar

Det blir nått. Övar. Det var år sedan jag arbetade med grafit. Jag övar mig även i att tillåta mig att vara ringrostig utan att min inre dialog urartar till nått Freud skulle vilja titta närmare på. 🫣🙂

Jag har lovat mig själv att fortsätta, små steg varje dag. Bygga upp teknik och självtillit. Skitnervös med kaoshjärna bitvis men ni vet det där med droppen och stenen. 😃 Målet bankar på dörren.
Vad det är? Kanske vågar berätta det när det är gjort. ❤️‍🔥💯 #art #drawing

Creativity is like a muscle. If you want to become more creative, you have to exercise it.

When I was in art school (years ago), we exercised every day to become more creative. Artists have to train to get there too. It's not magic or "talent," it's hard work.

When you use AI to give you "inspiration," you are doing the opposite of that. You are atrophying your creativity muscle.

If you want to become a creator, and become more creative, you should stop using AI entirely. Instead, start training your own genuine creativity. Otherwise, it will eventually dry off completely.

Hello, I’m Colleen from Glasgow UK

I’ve found Mastodon in my decision to stop using FB/Insta/Threads etc, and so far am loving it - not least due to the lack of adverts :)

I’m an accountant by trade; pianist, dog and cat lover, and avid reader in my spare time.

Ah! I see it's #PortfolioDay! I'm an artist working with code, data, mixed media, and ink on watercolor paper.

Much of my inspiration comes from Science, Math, and Nature.

"Visione" è un'illustrazione nata come poster per un festival di cinema. Gli organizzatori scelsero un'altra mia proposta perché questa era "troppo intima" e per il festival serviva qualcosa di più incisivo.
Finito il lavoro ho capito che questa immagine mi apparteneva profondamente. Ho deciso di finirla comunque perché raccontava molto di me ed è diventata una delle stampe a cui voglio più bene.

Probably one of my favourite shots from the trip. I like high contrast in black and white photos. And geometry. And curves if possible.

Astounding vol. 39, no. 6 (August 1947)

Oh a LOT is going on here. The world has ended, that much we know, but … not yet? There are only primitive figures left, one guy holding a bible (someone confirm for me please?) but there's a ghost as well. Why is he climbing to the top of that mountain?

Today I’m sharing the first of three Redwood Coast bird greeting card sets I put together and made available on my Goimagine shop.

It’s a six-card set with envelopes, featuring birds that can be found along the coast in northern California. Unfortunately, it’s only available to US-purchasers.

I’m really happy with this, as I’ve slowly accrued more and more bird illustrations that are specific to the area I now live in. My husband and I moved here from southern California almost a year ago, and it’s the best decision we’ve ever made. The area is gorgeous, and the flora and fauna are just beautiful!!

Here’s the link: goimagine.com/illustrated-bird…

All my work is done in Procreate on my iPad Pro by hand, without any generative nonsense at any point in the process. I print, package, and post it all myself. #HumanMade

Nadine Looks into the Future while Holding on to the Past by sluggoonthestreet

I hate promoting myself. I feel guilty when I do. But... how will people who could possibly love my art and would love to buy it know that I actually sell it?

It's neither the best time nor the best reality, I know. But still.

“Blackbird'26”

the rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday … and follow the tag

#sundaygimp

(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )

Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor
