When artists have to prove they are human
My linocut Still Loading was flagged as potentially AI-generated. It isn’t. I designed it, carved the block, inked it and printed it by hand.
I understand why communities want to protect themselves from AI-generated work. What troubles me is the reversal of trust. Artists increasingly have to prove that their work is actually theirs.
We worried that AI would become indistinguishable from human creativity. I didn’t expect human creativity to become indistinguishable from AI.
A strange time to be an artist.
What do you think?

Cutting the leftovers, “I don’t know. I don’t claim to know. I don’t rule it out.”

Leftover lino. Sketchbook open. Knife ready.
Cut it up, transfer the sketch, start carving.
Sometimes new work begins with what’s left.

“I see darkness”
I made this a while ago. Printing on real dollars isn't easy. Ink can be stubborn, but I think it turned out well. It is a unique print. A one-of-a-kind copy. Curious to hear what you think of it. Only one B.A.T
I was very impressed with the film Joker, its metaphor, the message… how current it still is. Titel: “I see darkness”
Skate it, printed on a envelope
"Undying" Live fast die young, that doesn’t work anymore, skating is still going fast and feeling that you are alive, so live (be free). Printed on an A5 craft envelope.

Nobody cares, just do it.
