So after 17 years I'm a freelancer again. First month in, starting from scratch and no network to talk about. Delivered my first project last night and just out of the blue got another one in this morning. It's kind of stressful, with a famaily and all, but I really really want this to work. Do I have a reel? Yes I do.

Little campaign we shot in Romania for Suzuki Motorcycles:
Makes you ride the curve while reading the copy.I prefer the original language they were written in (German) but these translations aren't bad.
(Yes, I love some good old longcopy).- Yeah, one day I will work it out with these links. Maybe.Longcopylover

Lots of quality reels and work being posted here lately, so I thought I might join in and finally put up my new portfolio website:
https://www.sebastianross.comStill a bit experimental, but I think I figured out a half decent way of showcasing websites on a website: quick preview vids and a working archive version of the page inside a frame if you click on an item. Let me know what you think!
- very nice indeed, clever and smoothhans_glib

I have a personal project called 250 Frames, where I create 10-second animations and visuals. I really enjoy personal projects, but they often take too long to complete, so I usually never finish them. I have dozens of unfinished animations on my hard drive simply because I lost interest. To tackle this, I decided to limit myself to just 10 seconds. It's somewhat of a collaborative effort,I have friends who assist with music and provide grading when needed but the idea is just to do something quick, just for the fun of it. So far I've done ten or so and here's a couple of them.

About a year ago I made my personal RSS reader public and free for all:
https://altneu.42web.io/
Before that (in 2022/23) it was an application that anybody could open an account and build a reader for themselves (about 80 people did join) but I got kicked off a paying server (Namecheap) for alleged resource abuse. :)
Now it's just my reader on a free hosting account.

I'm a designer and just spent a week coding with Cursor and created ClearSlate, a minimalist Chrome extension for managing your links, notes, and tasks in a super simple interface. It’s free to use and has no ads, tracking, or hidden fees—just some clean, functional design.
https://chromewebstore.google.co…
Would love to hear any feedback.
Release notes are here - https://johnkappa.notion.site/Cl…- i do not like that it replaces my home screen. can it be it's own tab without replacing my existing homepage? have you seen onetab? it exists in its own page.imbecile
- simple clean interface though ++imbecile
- if i remove all links, the next time i load it, your links repopulate. do not likeimbecile

'Degen Eterna'
256 generative artworks where each composition is generated at mint. You can view the infinite iterations by clicking the randomize icon beneath the preview.https://highlight.xyz/mint/shape…
The element I'm most proud of in this artwork is the way I've created the assets and coded it to give the effect of overspray on the white border.
- Rare features within the compositions are 'Bleeders' - ones that bleed outwith the main artwork area onto the white border.
And 'Gradient Backgrounds'microkorg - Lovely work mister!PhanLo
- Cheers, its been a WIP and on the backburner for a long time. FInally got round to finishing it. Might be using some of the characters on tees etc soonmicrokorg
- nice illustrations micro:)utopian

with all the image gen shit going on I'm feeling a bit panicked and started an old youtube channel up, with the idea ill be one those famous tutorial guys and make side hustle money. On hearing my voice on a test one I have rethought that idea. However I had uploaded a bit of work on the channel. Been doing a lot of fragrance stuff over the past few years, here is a smidge of it

- I thought you were going to post a book about "How to Finish your 'sketch' with AI and Fool Yourself and Others into Believing you can Diss Canoe!" :-pcanoe
- @ideaist - you do know this guy never says anything productive about the work, always a slightly saber-toothed targeted bite. But then uses AI to 'finish' work.canoe

- "That guy that never says anything productive about the work" read the side posts....champ! https://www.qbn.com/…utopian
- I don't care what you think about the work - I care to tell you your condescending, cryptic remarks aren't necessary when celebrating the peak of my career.canoe
- "So sensitive" - putting it back on me is a classic response to someone who can't handle self reflection. And a good sign that someone is a cunt.canoe
- Finally, you posted work you did with AI... which explains everything about your negative shit when people post work - you're not good enough for yourself.canoe
- I fucking hate that... fat guys slumming on the couch yelling at the coach on the tvcanoe

Re: https://www.qbn.com/reply/413405…
The part of the post that stood out to me was this:
> "Out of respect for everyone that doesn't use AI to draw and design, can we please not blur the lines between man and machine, so legitimate artists don't have to deal with <prompt?> in the comments?"This isn’t just a call to separate threads—it’s making a judgment about what constitutes “legitimate” art and who qualifies as an artist. At its core, this isn’t really about AI as a tool but about how viewers perceive the work. It’s a question of ontology—what defines a work’s existence—and whether it retains value if it involves AI.
---
## The Ontology of the Work
When we debate whether a piece created with AI is “legitimate,” we are implicitly asking: *What defines a work of art or design?* Is it the method of production, the labor involved, or the impact it has on the viewer?
At its core, a work exists because of intentionality. It’s the result of choices—what to create, how to guide the process, and which elements to refine. This is true whether those choices involve traditional tools, software, or an AI model. The tool doesn’t define the work’s being; it’s the creator’s agency and vision that do.
If we claim that an AI-assisted piece is not the prompter’s work, we face an ontological paradox: If *it’s not their work, then whose is it?* The AI has no agency—it cannot create independently of the prompter’s intent. Nor can we attribute the work to the dataset, as the training data exists as fragments, divorced from the context and choices that shaped the final output. Without the prompter’s decisions, the work simply wouldn’t exist.---
## The Viewer’s Role
This brings us to the mention of <prompt?> in the comments. The concern here is about how viewers respond to AI-generated work, not the work itself. But this raises a critical point: *What is the viewer’s responsibility?*
As viewers, we often carry biases about process into our judgments. When we see a piece and learn it was created with AI, there’s a tendency to discredit it—to treat it as less legitimate because of the tool involved. But this focus on the means of production misses the point. The value of a work is independent of its method of creation; what matters is the work’s ability to communicate, provoke, or inspire.
If we reduce a piece’s value to the tools used, we risk disengaging from what’s in front of us. The viewer’s responsibility is to judge a work on its aesthetic, conceptual, and emotional qualities, not to let assumptions about its origins cloud their engagement.---
## Blurring the Lines: A False Concern
The fear of “blurring the lines between man and machine” reflects a deeper discomfort with how new tools disrupt established norms. Photography, for instance, was once dismissed as mechanical reproduction, yet it evolved into an art form celebrated for the creative decisions behind framing, lighting, and composition. Similarly, digital art faced skepticism before becoming integral to contemporary design.
AI is no different. While it introduces unprecedented levels of tool assistance, it doesn’t erase the creator’s role. In fact, it highlights the creator’s choices: what prompts to write, how to iterate on outputs, and which elements to curate. The “blurring” is not a threat—it’s an opportunity to expand our understanding of what it means to create.---
## What Really Matters
Instead of segregating threads or gatekeeping tools, let’s focus on what actually matters: sharing work we’re proud of, discussing creative processes, and learning from each other. Tools are just that—tools. What counts is the work’s ability to communicate, connect, and inspire.
At the end of the day, this isn’t about AI versus traditional methods. It’s about how we define and value art in a changing world. Creators have a responsibility to use their tools intentionally and honestly. Viewers, in turn, must engage with the work itself, to set aside biases about process, and to appreciate what the work brings to the table. If we can do that, we move the conversation forward, not backward.Made *with* ChatGPT
