More art #Art #ArtTherapy #MentalHealth

I just wanted to post a couple more of my favorite abstract paintings. I was so proud when I made the top one. I call it Ice Cream Sprinkles. The darker one is called Shattered.

Art therapy keeping me going!

I found this app when I was feeling low last year. I haven't been here in a while. I've been keeping myself busy with learning the ukulele. I've also recently taken up painting and its bringing me so much joy. I'm showing my favorite abstract art that I've done. I've done others but these are keepers. Oh, I didn't paint the big picture. #ArtTherapy #Art #MentalHealth

I did it!

Thanks to the August Bucket List RachelDutch shared, I went to the art museum yesterday with my sister. It was marvelous. The photo is of a mobile by Alexander Calder. Fun fact: He created a huge outdoor sculpture that is the centerpiece of our downtown area. Now I need to work on a September list!

Thanks to the August Bucket List shared by RachelDutch, I visited the art museum with my sister yesterday. We had a marvelous time. The photo shows a mobile by Alexander Calder. Fun fact: He created a huge outdoor sculpture (same color) that is the centerpiece of our downtown area. Thanks again, RachelDutch!

Thank you, RachelDutch, for the August Bucket List suggestions! I picked the one about going to the art museum yesterday (free day!) My sister was able to join me. This photo is a mobile by Alexander Calder. Fun fact: He created a huge outdoor sculpture that’s displayed in our downtown area.
I feel inspired to create a “bucket list” of my own each month. Gets me out of the house!

Thank you, RachelDutch, for sharing the August Bucket List. My favorite suggestion was to visit an art museum, and I did that today with my sister (free day!). There were some truly gorgeous exhibits. The photo here is of a mobile by Alexander Calder. Fun fact: He created a huge outdoor sculpture that is the centerpiece of our downtown area. It’s the same color red as this piece. Keep those great ideas coming, RachelDutch!

I love the August Bucket List shared by RachelDutch. It inspired me to visit the art museum with my sister today (free day!) This is a mobile by Alexander Calder. Fun fact: He donated a huge outdoor sculpture (same color) that is the centerpiece of our downtown area. Thanks, RachelDutch! You made my day!😁

TW AI art generators (I hate them), swearing

As an artist, I’m so fucking sick of so many fucking companies using AI art generators that steal from others’ work without even any permission from artists. Ever since 2023, it feels that everything on the web’s AI this and AI that. My used-to-be-favorite websites started adding AI generators and became greedy and now I hate them more than ever. All of this talk of AI art is pissing me off. It’s actually pretty triggering to even bring up about this because it’s just so immoral, and seeing big companies like Microsoft and Google going even more south is just… 😡

It’s not just human artists struggling. Otherkin (those who don’t fully identify as human non-physically for various reasons (yes, it’s a real and good-faith identity)) artists exist, too such, as I. So I always tend to get very uncomfortable being called a human throughout all of this.

Is our government even doing shit about this??? This is extremely unfair that so many individuals would now rather shit on artists and use and AI art generators than requesting or do commissions to artists. Yes, I know some commissions are expensive (some too expensive, in my opinion), but some do art as a job and that should be respected!

The role of art in my life

I graduated in fine art. I work in an art related job part time so I have time to work on my own art too. I'm not good at sticking to one idea and I am often bouncing around the many possibilities and not monetising any of them. I get intimidated by the work I see online by other artists. Often in the comments it says AI, which I suppose is a relief. My mental health causes me to engage in abstract thought a lot and sometimes I feel I should use this to fuel my imagination. I'm in a place now, where I can be mindful when I need to, but it didn't used to be like that, therefore I have years of dreams and ideas which I think could make good stories and art. Now that I am in a better place I'm realising that I need to put the creativity into practise to make it better but there's always the voice saying I've wasted too much time and im too old now.#Art #creativity #Anxiety #Schizophrenia
