RE: Art - Thougts of a Curator
I'm pathological rambler, so most of the times I don't know what I'm talking about. As a matter of fact, I'm biting my tongue right now. My ill-begotten advice and worthless chime-ins tend to disturb the natural order of things.
I'll say this though: It does sound like a neat idea, but you guys seem to be borderlining insomnia as it is. As I said, don't take me too seriously, but I figure what would really make a difference is if you somehow managed to incorporate the average user into the curation process. Said it before somewhere, I feel like a mooch. In the sense of not knowing how to properly return the favor, besides showering you with impotent upvotes.
Besides that. I like the whole idea of ousider art and reckon people are just expecting too much. From themselves and maybe from others. I don't know how to articulate this thought properly, so I'll just stop.
Unlike what you believe your vote is never impotent. You make a change and it all depends in who you vote and when what the value is (check if you vote on posts if 6 days old). Since you grow your vote will too but the best reward you give is the engagement you offer.
You call it rambling, I call it a next great read giving me something to think about, smile, consider, like and be grateful for.
We all "return favours" in our own way and with the capabilities we have.
If it comes to deviantart they did not let me in. I could only see the homepage. I will try again.

Well that's strange. I can access deviantart without logging in. Try this link:

Now I can watch it. You have some interesting pieces. Lately AI only?
You're being kind. I appreciate that. Mostly it's just glorified doodles and such. Don't have any delusions of grandeur about it either, just thought it was interesting in terms of being a reflection. Or like a rorschach test of sorts, where as interpretations tend to be about as accurate as your average cleaning lady's dream analysis.
I only did a little bit of AI and got burned out almost instantly. Most of the doodles for that matter are scans, taken from a few A4 folders collecting dust somewhere. You can find some of the scans in the scraps category. Checking the dates you might notice I'm either doing a lot, or nothing at all. Right now I'm deep into nothing at all.
Thinking about it. In an odd way my approach isn't too far off from prompting an image generator. Only it's GrebmotGPT rather than something else.
Thank you!
