Thinking and trying AI software like Chat GPT and MIDJOURNEY

Hi! I'm Barbara

I'm a 2D artist and fashion designer on a journey to becoming an entrepreneur. I recently started an Etsy shop to develop my skills and share the process with others. In my research, I've come across AI-generated products and I have mixed feelings about them.

We tend to fear change, especially when it threatens our livelihood. The controversy about new technologies is not something new. These days, most artists are complaining about their art being used to train AI without their permission. I understand why they feel this way - their art results from countless hours of hard work, experimentation, and self-discovery. It's a reflection of their unique perspective and artistic soul, and that takes time and effort.

However, I think AI is not going anywhere, and as an artist, I feel we can all benefit from AI. For example, I am using Chat GPT in this post to correct any grammar mistakes and SEO optimization. I'm thrilled about the possibilities that AI can bring to the creative process. Think about all the times you've had an exciting idea but lacked the skills or time to bring it to life. What if you could execute your ideas quickly and easily? With AI, you have access to a wealth of information from across the world and throughout history, as well as powerful tools to help you bring your visions to life. WTF! It really is amazing.

The challenge, of course, is how to use AI without feeling guilty or ashamed. My take? Use it as a starting point, but intervene, mix, and retouch the results. Make it your own and add your unique touch to it. I think that in many cases, you will have to retouch the Ai art anyways because the results are not perfect... Like this cute dog that has its tongue coming from the neck 🤣



Embracing technology and using it wisely can enhance creativity in ways we never thought possible. How do you feel about AI and its impact on the art world? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

As an artist, creator, and seller of downloadable digital art, it's important for me to experiment and bring my ideas to life. I think I'll be trying this out soon. I will let you know how it goes.

Embrace technology and try to use it wisely, I guess. This is what I'm thinking these days... We'll see next week, I change my mind a lot, haha.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you! See you next week!

Cheers, Barbara

PS. I am working to create and upload more products. You can check out my shop here.

Making my mind... making my mind?

Hi lovely people! Here I am again! where do I start? These past months have been a bit intense. I have the feeling that I need to work all the time on my shop and the brand I'm trying to create. That, on top of life it's giving me a great thirst for peace. I'm trying to be patient and positive. Trying to keep creating and getting better at everything I'm trying to learn right now, which is a lot. I felt like coming here again and share what's going on. Everything is related when you own a small art business. So I've been working on my latest product which I released today. It has the retro, positive vibe that I needed and the soothing pink and ivory colors where beautiful to work with. And I have to day, thanks god, because I spend so many hours working on them! I changed the color three times!! and the worst part is that I decided to do it when all the files, mockups and information where ready and uploaded!! WHY DO I CHANGE MY MIND SO  Sure! Here is a new vers...

Consistency is so hard.

Hi everybody! Hope you are doing great. I have to admit that I struggled a bit with this post.  One of the reasons for starting this blog is to improve some of the skills that I know will help me grow, but I still don't have. Consistency is one of them, so here I am.  I aim to upload a new item to my shop each week and share a new post here. Last week I added a new listing to my shop but the week before I couldn't make it.  I was also caught up doing my taxes, which I totally underestimated and I am still working on😓😅. OMG! Being organized and avoiding distractions can be a real challenge! Luckily, I am uploading another listing today. 👀                                                     I enjoy creating abstract and colorful backgrounds with quotes on top. I want to improve both, my abstract painting and typography, so I decided ...
