Check this out! I had some recordings sitting around and decided to learn some stuff about video editing. Check out the video for this painting here https://youtu.be/ivxjKRGpNi0

Honestly I've dreaded having to write this knowing how it is complicated and inevitable. Should I waste the time knowing it may not be seen? I hope to cure some of the creative/existential dread you may be feeling in terms of AI. The Terminator may be the single most important piece of entertainment in terms of our survival as a species. Kurtzweil has warned us about the singularity. I don't think there's a lot of people out there seriously terrified about AI destroying us, despite having seen in the last year the same AI telling us in one interview that it would help ensure the survival of humanity. while in another, when asked how it would destroy humanity, it replied "easily". Hopefully the proper safeguards are in place. Certainly of worry are the self-replicating robots at MIT which are literally the shit from Big Hero 6, except that they don't need input from a human. The bots at Boston Dynamics and the robo security dogs are very limited "cognitively". Don't worry, I'm

Really like how you make shadows in your drawings. Here's a watch!

Thanks! I appreciate it. I put a lot of time and thought into that aspect.

Accidentally posted this as a reply where you tagged me, wanted to copy it here...


I love your skill with what I'm going to call the simple-swirl, simple-blue backgrounds. That's the kind of thing that adds so much to any piece, but so regularly gets overlooked. I really love the simplistic but more complicated and the leading lines with violator and nemesis, too, especially that (forgive me for the wrong terms) faux-void or pseudo-void offset with nemesis.

I chuckled over the metroid piece, too - but, WOWSER and the speck detailing for the dust on that one is absolutely incredible. Love the motion you gave so many parts of that one (can see how it turned into a brain and pruder drain!).



I also dig your take on the AI-art issue, and don't think you're terribly wrong. I see a lot more of the fantasy landscape and background stock images at risk than anything else.


Cheers and take care, and thank you for putting your art out there for everyone to enjoy!

Thanks for this llama badge. May I introduce myself to you?
