Well said and great use of analogies and examples. Especially, the one of photography. I use ai sometimes, and just personal preference I like to hand draw and further edit images I make. Mostly because I haven’t made the leap into paying for anything just yet. I like how AI can help collect my thoughts at times and get me moving towards a finished piece I am happy with.

I agree with Don, I always look forward to your art and your ideas, esp as it pertains to politics. You have a terrific way of mapping art and everyday thoughts together, thus making one helluva comic!!! Thank you for sharing your heart here!!!

Personally I believe that Western Art History is a 2000 year-old struggle between the authoritarianism of the Church vs. the will of the people. Where would we be if Bach wasn’t arrested? If DADAISM didn’t hold up the mirror to war mongers? If Motown didn’t break the color line? So play on … Art is what we leave behind to document the time.

And now...we are Biological Intelligences. One shortish read (Machinery) and a two-chapterish one (Evolve)...let me grab links for ease.

Sampled music was hotly debated in its time. These arguments will fade. All creative endeavors are art.
