Whilst I appreciate how nicely this is worded, I don’t appreciate the invasion by an AI/NFT bot. Had to block the account, and can only hope this has not already been fed to the machines! #NoAI #NoNFTs #NoArtTheft !!!

@dereksylvester.bsky.social Hi Derek, sorry to bother you. I was just reposted by some AI Art scraper/ NFT trading entity(?). I saw you followed them, so wanted to make you aware in case they try to scrape your art too. If I am wrong and they’re legit, I apologise. But better be safe than sorry. 😅

First time of having a physical print of one of my digital paintings. I’d gladly hang it somewhere at home, but to be part of an exhibition that currently has only traditional art on show, I am not sure it looks good enough. #art #digitalart #doubts #impostersyndrome #digitalpainting

Haha, I don’t know that I have “real” taste but still seem all over the place stylistically and bouncing between painting and graphic design. Now I’m dabbling into political satire. This is Count Binface, the only opponent running against far-right MP Nigel Farage in Clacton, UK.

Rest your soul in peace, Sam Neill. I don’t know why your sudden passing hits so deep. Maybe it came unexpected. Maybe because I remember some really interesting posts from you on social media. Maybe because you were a similar age to my Dad. Maybe I just liked your warm gravitas voice. 🙏🏼💔😞

My TRON inspired painting respectfully submitted for the #ArtRepostJuly theme of #below.

Shoot! Forgotten to post for yesterday’s #above for #ArtRepostJuly “Mothra’s Quest towards the Sun”

“PINNICLE” #musiccoverart could fit into today’s theme of #orange for #ArtRepostJuly. #vinylart #coverart #graphicdesign #gradients #blur #noise #layout #art #artist #artshare

Because what goes around comes around, if you see this, share a circle, a disk, something round #art #artist #artshare #fantasy #paleofantasy #creaturedesign #conceptart #digitalart

Respectfully submitted for #ArtRepostJuly. I hope this qualifies for today’s theme of #eerie. A trauma painting I turned into a Singles Cover for my bsky friend. His song hit home and seemed to resonate with this artwork. #art #artist #artshare #digitalart

Well, if companies are complaining about a lack of critical thinking from “AI literates” we have got news for them: They sure as hell won’t be getting that from firing human employees and just using AI. But hey: 👇🏼

“Goodbye and Good Luck!” I hope this piece is acceptable for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #wide. A sea turtle leaving its eggs (depicted in some kind of x-ray view under the sand. #art #sciart #digitalart #artshare #artist

I understand that today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #wide. (I don’t have the prompt list oops). This is an abstract digital oil landscape of mine.

This morning I watched a Joshua T Kirkman livestream; he does traditional oil landscape paintings. Tried to recreate this digitally from memory (no reference image). Did this in 1 hour as I needed a quick win. Don’t like nor hate it! 😅 #art #artist #artshare #landscape #digitalart #oilpainting

Oh, it really is only very minor but my eyes seem to see a tangent between the top leaf and Flamingo’s neck. Forgot to say that I find it super intriguing that the mangrove branches seem to attach themselves to the moon, as if it was part of a big neurological network. 😀

Also, the chillZdance cover was made with Feathertip brush from @angrymikko.bsky.social oil brushset. I highly recommend it for those who want to get a feeling for oil painting digitally first before diving into traditional oils; you can get the set from his gumroad page.

This year has been a bit rough and slow moving in terms of arts & design. Perhaps I overdid it last year. But I do feel, I am slowly getting back on track. Here my latest 2 playlist #coverart pieces. #art #artist #music #musicart #digitalart #artshare #musiccoverart #playlist #recordart #coverart

Not started it but we bought this today at a bookshop in Essen, Germany. Nice that they have quite a good book selection in English.

And some more designs : 👇🏼 I will be doing lots more, and experimenting with incorporating a bit more artistic freedom (background/element colours) while balancing it so that our corporate VI is still punching out. Silver lining: I get to push our brand further! Maybe I AM a #graphicdesigner 😅 5/5

If taking their logo’s negative space into account, its shape language is also comprised of 2 circles, 2 triangle, and a square. So, while not a clearcut case of “passing off” it’s rather close. Sadly, because they now diluted both our brands, we’re finding ourselves having to double down, hence👇🏼4/5

One of main competitors (who shan’t be named) underwent a rebrand in late April. Previously, their visual identity (VI) was compromised of a vertical blue rectangle, which nicely distinguished themselves from other biodiversity consultancies. Unfortunately, for their new VI they decided on… 2/5

🧵: I am working on a series of new social media designs, because one of our main competitors underwent a rebrand RIPPING OFF our overall visual identity (VI). Long story below 👇🏼 1/5 #graphicdesign #shapelanguage #visualidentity #branding #brands #rebranding #logo #logodesign #art #biodiversity

Share your first ever graphic design piece! #art #digitalart #graphicdesign #graphicdesigners #LogosByNick

Needs further tweaking. I made my own CRT texture, which unfortunately have blurred the coloured rectangles too much. As a result, you cannot see that each object consist of 10 individual outlines. #CRT #textures #retrographics #retrodesign #graphicdesign #WIP

After a year on and off working on this with a 6-months-break because I got burnt out by the amount of work this required, my #cassettefuturism #albumcoverart is finally finished! #art #artist #artshare #graphicdesign #retrofuturism #illustration #scifi #retroscifi #conceptart #analogue

I dunno man, looks like slop to me! It pisses me off no end that artists have to state their work is human made and then comes along some prompter and claims they didn’t use AI! A real artist would not have drawn hair lines over the augmented side. They would also have … 1/2
