DragonCon ejects AI ‘artist’, to approval of all
[Full text: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/09/03/dragoncon-ejects-ai-artist-to-approval-of-all/]

DragonCon is a long-running science fiction and nerd culture convention. Dane Ault of monkeyminion.com was at DragonCon as an artist. He broke the news on Bluesky about a suddenly empty booth in Artist’s Alley with a sign saying: [Bluesky] VENDOR REMOVED FOR SELLING AI ART #ARTBYHUMANS The site was quickly enhanced by AI haters, including […]

Yesterday, #DragonCon Artist Alley management removed (with police assistance!) a vendor selling AI-generated slop, after the former were certain the “art” was entirely AI-generated.

Following the offender’s removal, another vendor created a sign (attached) to place on the empty table. Soon a small shrine to collective #AI disdain began to form around her initial statement.

#ArtByHumans #art #DragonCon2025

A sign reading, “Vendor removed for selling A.I. art #ArtByHumans”

A note reading, “The story: Real artists complained. Art proved to be A.I. and he was asked to leave. He said ‘no’ so the police were called to watch him while he packed his A.I. crap up. F HIM & F A.I. SLOP! #ArtByHumans”

So, knowing I had a fixation on the #TarantulaNebula, #BernieReim let me turn in a painting of the nebula as my final project! I incorporated a lot of what I learned about telescopes and refraction (the cross shaped light patterns), and also how one can perceive every color EXCEPT green! (Including some spots that appear brown to the human eye). He really appreciated my level of detail, even if my painting skills weren't the best (and my canvas was a paper box cover)...

#Astronomy #ArtByHumans #HandPainted #Stargazing #SpaceArt

$A glowing bunch of stars -- some in a thick cloud, some smaller and individual. A few yellow stars have light refractions because they are closer to Earth. The cloud has blue, pink, purple and even a brown spot near the center. There is a smaller cloud off to the left side.$

So, this is very interesting... I know I used to find making clay balls in pottery class would help keep me focused and calm...

The #Meditative Art of #Hikaru #Dorodango: How Japanese Schoolchildren Turn Mud Into Shiny Spheres

A developmental psychology professor discovered hikaru dorodango in a Japanese schoolyard in 1999, and the practice is still inspiring artists worldwide today.

By Marla Mackoul

Excerpts: "No one is quite sure how hikaru dorodango originated, but it’s clear that it wouldn’t be as prominent as it is today without the efforts of Japanese developmental psychology professor Fumio Kayo. In 1999, Kayo was visiting a Kyoto nursery school to observe children at play when he noticed them deeply concentrated on forming playground dirt into shining spheres. It was a painstaking process even teachers would join in on. After working so long and so hard to create them, the dorodango would become treasured possessions of the children.

Making a dorodango involved locating the perfect soil, mixing it into mud, molding it into a sphere, and finally polishing it to perfection. The art requires patience, trial and error, and resourcefulness, causing it to be praised for its beneficial impact on early childhood development. Indeed, Kayo both published academic papers on the subject as well as developed a simple methodology that allowed him to introduce the activity to children across Kyoto. Hikaru dorodango was featured by Japanese public broadcaster NHK in 2001, and it has slowly gained prominence internationally—and among adults—since then.

"Other artists around the world have also found creating the mud balls to be both an excellent creative outlet as well as a grounding meditative practice. Artist Kiyoko Miki, for instance, uses different soil types and paint to create colored pastes, turning her dorodango into every color of the rainbow. She even drills holes into some to make charming flower vases."

Julia Rohwedder's work is gorgeous and this cover art for YA book, A Cold Tomorrow by David Sossamon, is no exception. And yes, all of Julia's work is created by her in Photoshop - no AI!

A book cover with art by Julia Rohwedder has a background of a deep space starfield. A young woman in a black sci-fi space suit floats in front of a large full moon, holding green leaves with one hand and red tendrils of matter in the other, with shadowy hands reaching towards her from below. Text reads: "Among Us All, A Cold Tomorrow Book 2, David Sossamon.

I love this delicate artwork by Joanna Scott, which she created for French beauty brand, La Bouche Rouge for use on a gift set packaging sleeve. Joanna has beautifully captured the feel of the quieter backstreets of Paris, instantly recognisable with the architecture and landmarks.

The street scene is set in Paris, with cafes and shops along a back canal and Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower in the distance. A red lipstick in a matching red case with white packaging is displayed alongside, with a printed card with text.

Fab illustration, design and layout by Zoe Ranucci for this educational activity book, written by Dr Kimberly P. Johnson. Great art and design, by skilled human beings, makes so much difference to how well kids engage with using books like this!

Gemma Correll is spot-on with her observations of how historical women are usually shown on TV (and movies)! But who needs perfection, when baggy-kneed sweatpants are the comfy reality?

Recently, rather than directing photoshoots with scientists, I'm illustrating their stories. And loving it 😊

Always awesome working with Scientific American!

@nafnlaus Interesting! Is there any hopeful news for #ArtByHumans? Especially - newer papers featuring cat images? (About the latter - we USA-based #catsofmastodon ladies are having a bit of a moment lately).
