I had two different blogs before - one meme and one where I just posted photos of really creative cars, trucks, bikes, kustom kulture, illustration artwork, and welded sculptures. I talked about the creators and where to find more of their work. No one really cared about the meme blog, the other had over 15k followers before the 2018 purge pissed me off and I left. (ps - I never deleted it, have not posted to it in years, and it still has over 4k new members since 2019).

Why? I like to believe it was because we as a society appreciate the artistry and talent of others. I like to believe that invention is only part of the pie, there's also the know-how that factors into the awe.

Which is why I can't get into Tumblr anymore. There is SO much AI on here now, and it is celebrated as much - if not moreso - than the real thing. And what's scary as hell is that we're still •just• able to tell what's real and what's not - I have to believe soon that demarcation will blur and then eventually disappear altogether.

There are so many truly beautiful things in this world, I don't understand why it's all being replaced with fake and we're all ok with it.

Get up and go create something real, something tangible, something that people can hold, and feel, and be made TO feel by it. Do it while anyone still values that.

I'm not saying there isn't tremendous talent in graphic artistry and it does impress the hell out of me, but if you show me something extraordinary that exists and something extraordinary that does not, there's no contest which I will appreciate.

...and I seem to be in this site's minority now.
