Art is changing forever; does creative expression dim or grow ever vibrant?
Been neglecting to post at all since I'm overly anxious and somehow feel apologetic for messing around with Stable Diffusion to create new artworks. Last year I spent many months creating tirelessly with it but never posted most of it due to this odd sense of guilt? Why does the mind have these self-defeating patterns? I guess I'm anxious that what I create has no soul but the reality is that I feel like it has a lot of soul and me within it so why should I let others dictate what I do? It's really weird times and it's required a re-evaluation of my entire value system and identity which is a scary thing and confronts you with existential dread at first but the reality moving forward was always going to be different so getting stuck in rigid mindsets will only leave you as a bitter old person projecting hate towards others. People need to celebrate creativity in all forms and there is always room to celebrate the mastery of a craft. There's no real reason to tear someone else down unless you are insecure in your own life and accomplishments. Before things like AI came along people would tear digital artists and photographers down. If you were a traditional artist people would tear you down over the most trivial issues. The plain reality is that people are hateful but the question I always struggled with is why do I care what people think? People will invalidate and bully you away from your passions and when you stop they don't care and you are just left with regret.
I feel like a lot of the stuff I'm making is interesting and cool and I like it so why aren't I showing any of it off? I've spent more than enough time on it, it was a bit unhealthy but I wasted so much time manually working on art to only be met with the same negative response. There was effort put in, there was soul.. Likely I've just surrounded myself with the wrong people and I need to let myself be creative rather than artificially limiting myself.
