All of us life long creative #artists tend to create more art when we are feeling immensely hurt or immensely loved. Those intense moments of our lives always ignite our inner creative souls to express our feelings through our artworks.

every time I look at my profile pic, I like it less. I made it with generative AI a while ago and at first, I was happy to have what I had in my mind exist in reality but now I see all the little imperfections (and the vapid perfections as well) of an image devoid of soul or style so I decided to hit someone up on fiverr to make a new profile pic for me (this time without genAI). it might be a silly thing to spend money on but at least then every time I look at it, I can remember the artist that got a few bucks rather than the megacorp that drains the oceans and loots the whole of humanity's creativity to serve their greed.

Who in #Toronto would like to model for me in exchange for a small portrait painting? It won’t be nude, it will likely be outdoors around golden hour, perhaps another on a mild rainy day. I need up to 3 people, can be friends, I would like diversity in representation, and need to be able to take photos and some video to get most natural expressions.
I would like to work or do collabs with other #artists in the city.
The subject explores climate emergency, migration.

@susankayequinn Here's another article by @brianmerchant : bloodinthemachine.com/p/openai
