Paris Bust

This was great fun to make with plaster of paris and painted in acrylic. Used alginate to get the fine details in the mould.

This was my first time doing this, next time I will do a deeper mould and capture a more 3D bust.

Body Cast

Body cast this last week and made a bit of a mess in the kitchen as I did it solo. There is a plaster of paris version that I am working on with painted flowers but this was the outer mould which I used ro make it and painted today.

Wanted this to look like it was armour from ancient times and so was quite rough with the finish and didn’t sand it or smooth it over and didn’t cast my nipples in the outer shell although they feature in the plaster of paris version.

Why ‘NO-AI’ is Helping The Demise of Real Art

Your Anti-AI label is actually Pro-AI marketing.

There is no such thing as AI, just clever marketing of automated copying.

The best thing a company can do is get their slogans adopted by society. It gives them power, credence and hastens the adoption of a lie into the public domain.

By stamping ‘No AI’ over everything especially in the comic world you inadvertently hasten the demise of true real art as you are aiding the adoption of that term into society. A society that will assume that it must be true and have power.

By accepting their corporate vocabulary, we let them normalise the pollution. "No AI" labels make automated mediocrity the new default state of human culture.

Our work is 100% human-authored, fuelled by the messy, conflicted, beautiful intuition that a corporate machine can never replicate.

Stop feeding the myth, focus primarily on what you do best which is art and storytelling. 
And in trying to stop the pollution to the beautiful wild oceans we paint and tell stories about use our own words to warn of the oil slicks from corporate greed not there’s.
