broken earth

“What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down”

-- Jim Morrison

Art Fair!


@The Compost Collective (Queens, NYC)'s Spring/Summer Local Market.
‪Made a little profit, had some fun, and most importantly made a LOT of people happy (and had 2-3 hours of drawing in as well) — so I’d say it was a good day.

The Future of Art?


As a fellow artist on Twitter remarked,
“… feels like we're headed to a future where human-created artisanal art will be relegated to unmonetizable niche small subcommunities or local communities
people will rush to compete by flooding the market with AI Content™ while human made art will struggle to even be visible.”
Coincidentally, exactly what I was thinking when I made this … anticipating future generations becoming accustomed to generative art as something rendered immediately, almost instantaneously via a text-prompt — foregoing the slow, arduous process of learning how to MAKE art with tangible, physical material, and skills painstakingly honed and cultivated over time.
Hopefully, I will be mistaken in thinking such.
But you take a look at everything that is happening in the space of a year, the exponential LEAPS in technology, the intoxicating allure of it all, the impact on every genre imaginable … and have to admit the temptation to go “full-Luddite” is present.
