Clown rat flash piece.
Skull flash piece
Tooth flash piece I got impulsively at a market.
Zippo Lighter from a 4/20 flash event
Socks that my friend and I got as a bogo deal (they have socks with oranges on them)
Star belly tat (my newest) that I got so it would peek out when I wear super low cut tops/ tops with peekaboo cut outs
I hate wearing glasses. I hate feeling them on my face, but contacts would be my own personal hell. Please give me the motivation to wear them like I should
My name is Shawna. I responded “oh my god! My name is Shawn, too!” Then stuttered through saying “wait, no, that’s not my name.” and since I was so anxious I just rambled for way to long about the difference between our names.
Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.
