I Am So Ready Lol. This Is Gonna Be My First Green Day Concert!! It's Not Until August, But I Was Just

Today is some 2021 art of Caiden and Jaiden. This is actually a redraw of some even older art I could probably find later in the abyss of my hard drive

DO NOT TAG AS VALENTINES WERE GETTING AROMANTIC TRENDING

The bots are too much

I'm nonbinary and asexual. I like seeing trans posts. But holy shit I think I'm gonna have to block the trans tag. There are so many of those gross s*x bots flooding my feed that I can't stand it.

This is not the "queer" website when I'm being shown trans f*tish content.

Art is beautiful because it exists.

Art is a process of decisions. Color choices, medium, subject, style, basically everything in art is a choice. And that's what makes it so beautiful. Being able to look at a piece of art and go "I wonder why they chose to use such a bright green here?"

That green could represent so many things. It could be the color of the grass outside that day. The color of their favorite toy. The color of their friend's hair. The color of the trees. Their favorite color. Their most hated color.

Maybe its about a message. Some part of their identity. It could be an injustice they experienced. Something unfair they saw. A victory they claimed. A fight they had. Joy they once felt or still feel. A protest piece. An important act. A source of motivation.

Or maybe there is no reason. Maybe they just felt like using it that day.

Even if art is not made to have a particular meaning, you can still look at it and see every stroke. Every line. Every intention. There was love put into this. A soul was mirrored. A little piece of that artist wound into the picture.

There is nothing there in generative AI images. It is a machine. It does not decide, it does not represent. It makes a collage of images fed to it from a database.

It does not make art. It makes images. Sure, a human prompted it. It told it what to do. But they did not make that art. If I told an artist "draw me a tree" and they did so, would I claim it as my art? I gave the prompt, but the artist created the art. Someone gave the prompt, but the machine generated the image.

There is one benefit: it has made me appreciate art far more. I wonder more when I see art just what the artist was thinking about. I like to think about each choice they made when they created it. I think about what I do in my own art.

I think I'm going to use green today.

fuck romance, unhappy valentines day to all my aro friends 🔥🔥💚🤍🩶🖤

Made some keychains for my upcoming Green Day concert!!

I figured this could be cool for people who aren't into bracelets or already have a lot! I actually made a St. Jimmy one as well, but it's on my keys. I'm so excited to see Green Day live for the first time!

Question about being demigender

Can you be demigender and genderfluid? I already identify as genderfluid, but sometimes I feel like I don't entirely connect with gender as a concept. The partial connection I do have is fluid. I've been thinking about identifying as genderfluid and demigender, but is that a thing?

Plaza post: "I woke up today, and it was at 999,999,999"

Me: "Haha there's no way its-

...

WHAT THE-"

Guys are you all OK 😭

When I finished the painting on the right, I used the leftover mixed paint to make the little thing on the left. It was something I saw another artist do, and I think I'll keep doing it

Tested out my new sketchbook today! This one has thicker pages, and the markers bleed way less than my previous one. It's also smaller, which I like a lot
