Coreyartus Imagery

Last night, in a desperate attempt to get my mind off all the insanity, I started a new image so my brain would stop grinding and I could focus on something constructive.

It’s a challenging thing right now to keep creating, to keep inventing, to keep adding to the fabric of the universe to counteract all the bad. I think of it as a sort of artistic duty to keep making, to counter the evils that are so proud right now with some sort of antidote…

It’s important to remember not to retreat into complete escapism and turn a blind eye. But it is also important to try to feed and sustain the soul and heart that’s being injured and bruised.

For me, trying to create in the face of so much hate is sometimes the only aspect of agency I feel I have. It’s one of the few things I can control right now. So I’m not going to stop doing it.

This is my piece, “The Ugly Duckling”, as well as the link to the speedpaint vid on MakerTube.

Don’t let them make you feel your creativity is just a simple diversion or distraction from reality, and that you should be doing other more substantive things. It is more than that. it’s your responsibility to “add" when so many are “subtracting". It’s what you can do better than anyone else.

A heavily stylized illustration int eh Art Nouveau style with lots of textures. It features a cygnet in the lower left, with shadows of adult swans in the upper right, all framed with raised "piping" creating shapes. Under the iamges are canvas textures. Primary colors are greens, blues, browns, and yellows.

Queen of is it spring yet

We live in a great age of the democratization of art with videos and tutorials and programs like #procreate, but if you're a 47-year-old web developer with a desire to draw an elf, where do you begin? In some ways, the massive amount of content available just adds to the feeling of trying to do an impossible task. Is the AI image good enough to not have to engage with this entire field of practice you have no familiarity with? Or is your inner vision strong enough to drive you to do more?
