Notifications

I don’t maintain a list of blog subscribers or send newsletters, so if you’d like to be notified of when I post articles, there are 3 options:

  • Join My Discord Server
    This is my main hangout. I post daily content relevant to artists there – articles (not just my own), inspiration, art related memes, art resources, and I also chat socially with those on the Discord.
  • Follow me on Substack
    I post summaries of my blog posts on Substack, and I also restack articles I find interesting.
  • Follow my Flipboard Magazine
    I have a magazine called RoxyLovesArt where I collate articles I find interesting. These are typically art related and anti ai.

Discord for Artists and Art Lovers

This month I set up a Discord server, primarily as an easier way to offer benefits to my patrons, but it’s open to the public, whether you are an artist or simply an art lover.

Public Channels

It’s a space where you can gain daily inspiration; get feedback and critiques; display your own work; laugh at art-related memes; get the latest in art industry news and reviews; get access to art resources (often free).

Patron-Only Channels

Patrons get weekly art lessons and access to all my published gumroad store brushes, full length patron-only videos, and high res files of painting I do during the month.

Video Preview

Here’s a quick walkthrough of the server at launch:

NB: You may notice some ugly blurred bits on the video. These are sections I no longer have, so I attempted to cut them out, and blurred references to them (poorly) using Youtube’s own editor. I plan to redo this video, but for now, this hack job will suffice. One of the sections I used to have was for the Midjourney tool. In the very early days, it was interesting to test and see what it was capable of, but now that we’ve found out how it was trained, and seen how destructive it is to the industry, we can no longer call it a ‘tool’. It is a weapon that ultimately only benefits Big Tech. More info on that here: https://youtu.be/lKMRbiz9mNE
