As I'm getting back into painting and confronting my own perfectionism and drive to make art for an end result only, The best thing you can do is to create without fear, unrestrained. It doesn't matter what is coming out of your brush--what matters is you're painting

It is now halfway through the year to Halloween.
If you excuse me, I’ll be cozied up in my studio watching American Horror Story episodes until then.

Should all AI generated images online be required to have an identifying watermark # so they are not confused with real artwork or photos?

2. Limiting the frustration per session based on your capacity for it to avoid burnout.

3. Aim to create art at your level, not where you think you should be.

Romain Huray Art The biggest problem with tech Bros is that they are like the kids in the first grade, who just started learning 1 to 10, but using calculators to showcase they are so good at math. Of course they are useless.

Artists: your work is not 'content' - a fleeting blip of engagementainment. Your work is a labor of love. Give it the care it deserves and create the things YOU want to see.

You will never satiate the ravenous maw of social media. Stop feeding the maw and start feeding yourself.
