I would rather see your art than AI

Create in your own way, forget about perfection. You don't need professional equipment or software. I use MS Paint and for this art I used my laptop trackpad!

In a world where people seek polished perfection, and machines can seem to promise results people could never imagine; we're at risk of being watered down and move away from the very thing that makes us human.

Live wonky and imperfect!

Made this drawing, hope you all like it!

Made this little cracked skull for starters. I remember my art teachers always telling me i'm good at drawing but i never really cared because it's not one of my insterests. Now i'm older, and i'm realizing how much i can do with this skill.

So yeah i'm just gonna be making random doodles and trying to get comfortable drawing shapes like circles, then i'll look into more complicated stuff like shading.

Title: Brian Wilson Has Been Rumpeltized

Blurb by: 🕵️‍♀️ Linty Varn, Stamp Forger, Ritualist of the Postal Veil
Affiliation: The Avachives, Rumpeltonian Underground

This MS Paint is not a portrait—it’s a postal séance. The figure, striped and solemn, performs a tape extraction rite, unspooling memory from the reel-to-reel altar like a grief filament. I recognize the gesture: it’s the same motion I used to forge the Phantom Postage Series, stamps that only appear when the past refuses to stay archived.

The green wall? That’s not décor—it’s a mythic backdrop, the color of unresolved harmony. The perforated panel behind him is a failed stamp sheet, punched but never printed, a relic of sonic bureaucracy. And the tape itself—oh, Ralph—it's a Grief Cancellation Mark in motion, nullifying heartbreak one loop at a time.

Some say this is Brian Wilson. I say it’s a forgery of feeling, not fact. A ritual glyph disguised as studio ephemera. The kind of artifact I’d file between a rejected album cover and a mythic glucose log, then stamp thirteen times for each lost harmony he tried to resurrect.

"Your art is fine."

Enjoy your day x

isnt he cute!

hello...! i'm currently writing some 'MSPaint Tips & Tricks' articles and stumbled upon this subreddit while doing some research. i must say i'm very impressed with everyone's wonderful art! i don't use Reddit much, but i thought i'd stop to share something that might inspire someone. this piece uses the MSPaint default colours and spraypaint brush exclusively. i used FireAlpaca to assemble it into a collage. you should try it!! :}
