A.I. Generators Violate Artists, Like Myself

A.I. image generators violate the rights of millions of artists; I’m one of those artists. A.I. sys­tems are trained on vast amounts of copy­righted work with no con­sent, no credit, and no com­pen­sa­tion. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/are-ai-image-generators-stealing-from-artists-180981488/

HAPPY HALLOWEEN SEASON

Over the last few weeks I’ve been uploading a series of tiny nightmares painted with my blood to Instagram.

On the third day, the pedestrian called 911. . .
