I cannot for the life of me draw a halfway decent caricature of JFK. Here are a handful of my failed attempts.

Jack, I'm so sorry. Squinted eyes, big teeth, prominent chin, lego brick haircut, my brain is seemingly incapable of recreating this man's face.

The reason that focus groups and capitalist feedback systems fail, even when they generate commodities that are immensely popular, is that people do not know what they want. This is not only because people’s desire is already present but concealed from them (although this is often the case). Rather, the most powerful forms of desire are precisely cravings for the strange, the unexpected, the weird. These can only be supplied by artists and media professionals who are prepared to give people something different from that which already satisfies them; by those, that is to say, prepared to take a certain kind of risk.
Mark Fisher, Capitalist Realism

Some experts have predicted that with the rise of AI, 90 percent of the internet's content will be 'synthetically generated' in a few years--and I don't understand how anyone can feel optimistic about the future.
Another thing that's horrible about the rise of AI is that you can't just post things online anymore and let them speak for themselves-- you now have to constantly post about your Process and Yourself as a Person. If a machine can generate soulless empty hollow products that look similar to the art you create, you have to constantly post about how you're a human being and explain why you draw the things the way you do, and discuss the meaning and intent behind your work. It's not enough to make a painting, and let people naturally intuit how you think and feel through the emotions you express in it-- you need to write a long-winded explanation of why you should follow a human being painting something out of sincere emotion instead of a machine producing hollow synthetic algorithmic sludge that imitates it. It's infuriating and horrifying. I hate how people are pressured to commodify every aspect of their life and personality to post online, because your existence as a human being is the only thing that can't yet be automated and turned into a product. AI generated imagery is a disease. It's the absolute pinnacle of the idea that 'art is just product' and of the cynical condescending belief that most people are just incurious unempathetic morons who just want to Consume Products without thinking.

thinking about the time they actually gave joey dialogue in the new teen titans: games…
Tumblr media
“He could be role-playing with us. Art represents civilization. Maybe he’s showing us his end game?”
this says sooo much about him: his deductive reasoning skills, his appreciation for art, his understanding of other people’s psychology. i need more stories where joey gets to play detective, especially in an art or music history context, and i NEED him to have proper dialogue

one way I force myself to go to bed when I'm working on something is to write down all of my little stumbling blocks as I go instead of treading water by hyper-focusing on one problem, and then I have a nice little to-do list to come back to in the morning with fresh eyes 🙌🏼
