thread of nicer looking ai-generated images
hard to believe, Edward Hopper drew this at the age of nine.
already his eye was astute--most children don't seem to "see" figures anything like this; indeed, most adults, asked to draw a human figure, fail utterly. how odd it is that some are naturally gifted with this ability…

because THE FABELMANS has everyone talk about where directors put the horizon now, this is a pretty fascinating explanation from Hoyte Van Hoytema on why he and Nolan's frame the horizon dead-center in IMAX for OPPENHEIMER, from the latest issue of American Cinematographer pic.twitter.com/wFHTKxzdkj— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) October 24, 2023

Sometimes I get frustrated when I compare arts and tech salaries, butlooktech peopleI'm not saying you are the problemI'm saying the exchange rate is in our favorand someone with a FAANG salary could literally commission their own opera once per yearso we should do that— Dr Kate Compton (@GalaxyKate) June 8, 2022

It’s clear to me that comics, and the arts in general, are broken industries. Art cannot exist easily under the systems that exist. Art grows in the cracks. What is plucked from the ground is mostly what is recognisable or guaranteed profitable.— adam (@Kumerish) June 11, 2023

Maybe for some designers, but for the best of the best, we are artists. We are innovating, solving problems, and making art. If you go into design to make money for someone else's business, you are missing out on the art of design. https://t.co/A4uTz0nPVk— Bonnie Kate Wolf (@bonniekatewolf) January 31, 2023

If it’s accurate that only 7% of people in creative fields are from a working class background I suppose this really helps to explain—in part—why Fisher’s vampire castle essay was met with such frustration and ridicule.— Daniel Tutt (@DanielTutt) December 21, 2022

Probs obvious, but I think lack of cheap housing in cities is the main thing to blame for most culture getting worse (contemporary novels, indie movies, music, less weird art, etc.) — mostly, the only people who can afford to make a career in this stuff have inherited wealth now.— Nabeel (@nabeelqu) December 22, 2022
