Every time I see companies selling """punk""" jewellery or clothing I become apoplectic with rage. Just saw a 拢65 padlock necklace advertised to me bitch Fuck you go to your nearest weird little shop that sells everything in the world including fake Rolexes and bongs the size of a toddler. Buy a thing of chain and a padlock. Borrow some bolt cutters someone you know will probably own some and if not get some cheap ones or borrow from a local tool library. Slap em together. Maximum cost 拢30 and that's MAXIMUM that's assuming you bought over a metre of expensive heavy chain AND bought the bolt cutters. You can do it for under a fiver with a wallet chain and pliers. I still wear a necklace I made when I was 15 out of a wallet chain and pliers and a padlock I got in a set of 3 from poundland. If the issue is dexterity or otherwise disability related then find a friend and swap a favour with them it'll still be cheaper than these scamming poser companies and will help you build community and share resources. Something which is actually punk. Fuckin. Capitalist posers
Trying not to dwell on the ai dude, but it has kind of shed some light on the different reasons people make art. Because his whole attitude seemed like... he was superior for taking advantage of a technology that automates the creative process and outputs a sellable product. And in the end, that was what he wanted: a product.
The times that I've attempted to make things 'as a product' have historically not gone well. As an example- doing fanart for a Fandom that im not part of, but is massively popular at the moment. People can tell when I'm not being genuine, and the thing that connects fanart to its fans is the fact that it was made by someone with a shared interest. People can tell that love is in the art. And they can tell when love is not in the art.
I'm a 'product second' person. I draw moths because I think moths are beautiful. I make cartomancy decks because I want to see what happens when I put two arts next to each other. I make erasure art because I enjoy tearing that bitch of a book apart. I write stories because I love stories. I take photos because i love taking photos. I do things because I enjoy doing them, then sometimes I make them sellable, and sometimes they sell.
Maybe that's not great business sense, but I didn't set out to be a business person. I set out to make things because it's fun to make things and business followed after. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but at least I'm having fun.
i have the opposite of seasonal depression where im fine all winter but without fail every june i feel the deep seated need in myself to bury my head underground and not talk to anybody for weeks
