Leonid Pasternak  (Ukrainian, 1862–1945) - The Torments of Creative Work

oh leonid, we're really in it now

Leonid, you really understand it.

caitvi divorce this jayvik divorce that

meanwhile ekko:

your boyfriend is so otterlike we dropped him into the ocean and he swam away with his hind limbs and webbed feet suitable for paddling

made another in honor of season 2. everyone sucks. i love them.

today I discovered Anne rice’s son’s tweets through twitter. im like this is exactly what I should have expected

i wanted to redraw the princess bride scene but it felt ooc for zuko. think i fixed it [id in alt]

I don't care if it's the best TV show of all time. I cannot be tricked into consuming a cartoon about league of legends.

It’s loosely inspired by league of legends.

Imagine Spiderverse style animation with a plot about class differences, civil war, when it’s okay to abandon morals for the greater good, and how much evil someone can do before they’re not family anymore. Then throw in two gay situationships and the greatest soundtrack you’ve ever heard.

If that’s not your thing, that’s cool. Don’t disregard it just cause it’s league of legends tho.

YOU CANNOT TRICK ME

book from the sky (tianshu) xu bing, 1989-91

I was so excited to see a copy of this in real life bc it's something I studied in art history. this is a book that was typeset and printed by hand using wooden blocks but every one of the characters was invented for the sake of the piece and does not correspond to any word in the Chinese language

yes. he invented and hand carved 4000 characters. it is a CRAZY project that resulted in an intentionally unreadable book. I love it

Xu Bing you're legendary to me !!!!

arcanowe portrety bo drugi sezon już jest super

just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw

anyways, if you feel the need to use ai to do your work for you, consider this: get a new hobby because this one isn't for you

Consider this. Not everyone has that time, or energy. Again, I just don’t understand this whole thing of “effort is important”

if it were, capitalism wouldn’t work.

not to point out the obvious but capitalism doesn’t work or people would have the time and energy to sit down and put effort and even enjoy their hobbies?

ai gets trained on real people’s effort and most of these companies are stealing content that was posted online, for you to just sit there enter a shitty prompt and bam, you get a picture of a big titty girl with 8 fingers or a story that is made up of cliches and patterns.

answer me this what do you get out of doing nothing to achieve a mediocre result from ai when the joy of creating comes from the act of figuring it out and doing it yourself, honing your skills?

“Not everyone has the time or energy to” ok that’s a you problem my favorite author posted a 30k word chapter after their house burned down and then got the bubonic plague. ur just not built for it

Dr. Gachey with foxglove, 1890

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.

This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.

All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

(I bring to mind this @tkingfisher / Ursula Verson quote about once a week <3)

challenge: there is a trans man. he is pre-medical transition. you must not infantilize him. go.
