A lot of conventions coming out and updating their policies banning any kind of AI art at their shows including GalaxyCon. I love to see it. Here's a piece I did of their mascot as a thank you for standing with REAL artists.

Anti-rascism. An intolerance of intolerance. Blocking rather than engaging, muting their reach and insulating them to their own bubbles. An absolute refusal to bend the knee to just even a little bit of fascism. And doing so with a tone that does not in the slightest allow them comfort in their hate
