I'm on a quest to promote real, live, human-crafted art because i am so thoroughly disgusted by the AI slop I keep running across, posing as "original art."
And I'm sorry to say, I'm still on the fence about 3D printed "art." I mostly hate it because human hands didn't sculpt it. I will likely add that to my "hill I'll fight on" list.
Anywho, here's some art by my friend Mandy, whose "Witch" was featured on October 4th. She does some gorgeous work with watercolors (a tough medium to master!) and has been known to sculpt a thing or two!
While she doesn't have anything up for sale right this instant, she does have an Etsy store you can follow and get notifications when it's got stuff to buy.
Obviously, I encourage people to buy handmade, because when you don't, the crafters/painters/sculptors/potters disappear forever, because they can't continue to purchase the expensive materials with which they make their art. I've had an alarming amount of artists tell me recently that they're quitting and selling everything because they can no longer afford to stay in business. It's disheartening.
Anyway, here are some gorgeous pieces, used with permission!
