Goodbye

More about Goodbye

I first joined this platform in 2019 as an experiment and I found myself fond to the idea that I am carrying on my Uncle Sal’s legacy of having a new medium in my art making process to use to help me make better art. His use of Microsoft paint as a medium for art making was an astonishing thing to me, so when digital became a reoccurring theme of my life as an artist, I tried it, and I liked it for it’s ease and comfort in experimenting. I will always choose paper and pencil hands down. No matter what. It’s just a matter of preference.

I was taken back however of the growing backlash of AI being used for the sole purpose of winning a competition, or getting a job (even though in the parameters I wanted to work in it would have been favorable), but, for the sole purpose of just making art. I don’t even have 1/4 of what is in my collection and honestly, I’m tired, I’ve heard both sides long enough to make my own determination. Unfortunately, it’s become too polarized and too late to address it because nuance gets lost in the noise. The noise of not being able to make a true decision on your own, and you stress out, and have no way to let it out. My God and my savior Jesus Christ shown light in my eyes and was able to make me see. His word became alive to me, His people became a treasure to me, and those who walk in darkness need to see this awesome light of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Will you not seek Him today?

This will be my last published work. After this month I will focus more on other ventures that need my attention than experimenting with AI art making.

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24, ESV
