Kimon Nicolaïdes is great for those of us who do action-based drawings. It's great for ADHD individuals like myself. It's great to have a plethora of books at your fingertips.

Thanks for making this great video :)

The creators of NFTs and AI do not care about artists making a living. They want to extract wealth from the economy without doing any work.

That one voice mail was ghetto

Thank you for commemorating Kim! And it's great to exercise too! Mind body connection is so important. Kim Jung Gi is so fluid. His tenacity was so tied to the present moment. I remember his interview expressing that he thought and walked around the idea for weeks beforehand. But when he walked the lines out, it was walking out the plan, less as an iterative structure and more as an enacting of his plan. In martial arts it is the same. You can plan a set but in the end, your now is different than your forward projection. He was an excellent mental warrior in the manner of love. He left an indelible mark. So do you two and your entire team!

Finally someone who knows how to make a sandwich correctly.

AI is fun and I use it, but I’m an artist because I want to be. I don’t understand why modern artist are like this. I can do either or mix the two.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all the amazing insight and all the links in the description.

I love that the pod is back but it feels like Stan doesn't care about the topics.

Could listen to more of Marshall talking about cinematic perspective. Also look forward to that list

Really enjoyed listening to this

I’m gonna make a playlist of the solo Marshall episodes - it’s much better with just Marshall 😬🤷‍♂️

The connectedness, monkeys, quantum physics at the end was both funny and some real shit. I bet it's a pleasure to study at Watts

8:08

There's a manga/anime called Vinland Saga that to me fits Marshall's point about didacticism perfectly. It's a highly acclaimed, well executed work. But something always keeps me from adoring it, and Marshall just put my feelings into words.

Draftsmen is life thanks 🙏 Stan

“ and the YOU sent the death threat “ 😂😂😂

My best art education was an online class on classical realism. I spend three years with this program and my drawing skills had definitely improved tremendously.

I’d like a Marshall-only podcast please.

How will I know if I'm "Being Myself "?

Why use A.I. if you’re an artist? There’s no such thing as an A.I. artist. A.I. is a wonderful technology, if it’s used to save lives, but in art, in only destroys lives.

AI is like any other tool. Like a hammer that can be used to build a home or bludgeon someone to death-it all boils down to how we use it. Given human nature, I believe we will see both the best and the worst use of this tool in the coming years.

ComfyUI has the power to make the exact picture. The online generators like midjourney, are extremely limited. To make the exact picture with Comfy does have a skill ceiling you need to climb though. Helps if you already know python.

I love hearing Marshall talk and listing to all his wisdom, but then Stan interrupts with some kind of objection. Any little flaw Marsh says and Stan calls it out. Sometimes he's right, but sometimes it's just nit picking that just interrupts the flow of the conversation. I love the draftsmen podcast and have listen to a lot of them and I appreciate Stans perspective on things. It just would be a better listen if Stan didn't challenge everything Marshall says.

Thumbs up for the disclaimer LOL

What’s does Marshall do w mama ? 😂😂😂

It's all about COPYRIGHT....! Can't copyright anything that is AI generated...!!!! It is therefore impossible to use AI for a lot of commercial applications, like packaging illustration, ( just to name one!) - - - But there are many applications that you want to copyright...! -

As long as humans exercise their brains and reinvigorate their souls, there are always reasons to make art.

i think AI is diff. than an Artist copying other artist style there is work associated with learning that style, meaning you learned and earned that skill were as a person using Ai didn't learn that skill and is using it as a free Artist....

Marshall nombrando a Borges jajajajj no me lo esperaba

I think there is a lot of rampant speculation with people who've not used AI here, In the current state, AI is nothing more than a tool. The absolute biggest issue is simply client requirements. They need this to be an exact shape, or the background to look exactly like that. None of which image generation does at the moment, and honestly, I don't see it being that easy for a very long time. We're already seeing a plateaus in logic from LLMs from OpenAI, Meta, and beyond. What this means is that just like Photoshop, AI will become a tool in an industry working artists toolkit. You will output in higher quantity and workload will change. The industry pull-back we see right now is the result of over growth in 2020/21/22.

sure i dont enjoy seeing art aimed for the male gaze especially when those women are not fully fleshed out and are more like sexual objects. however, it's really because im not the target audience. i dont believe i have to make the creators change to make me happy. i just have to tune out of that stuff. as a woman i enjoy art for the female gaze and i enjoy drawing men that match my preferences

He mentioned Myron Barnstone!!! Oh my dear friend and teacher, how I miss you!!!

I loved art from a young age, fantasy and Sci-Fi, and dreamed of doing it for a living. I never got to make a living doing it. But it’s still an important hobby, and I would love it to take over as a source of income. I couldn’t find anyone that had the knowledge to train me. Later the internet came along. Then digital. I can paint what I consider decent painting in digital, but I don’t have the connection with it. I want to design in digital, and then put it into traditional oils, etc. Digital became a crutch, but at least I’m still learning. One day, I’ll go full circle and go straight to painting.

The chapter at 45:45 is titled Art of Patients. I believe it's meant to be "Patience".

Why don't more people mention that fact that AI art has completely no value now, it's mass produced and easily accessible. Traditional forms of art (Graphite on paper, charcoal on paper, oil painting etc) Can never be mass produced by a machine (Yet lol). This has value and always has been. Due to lots of artists giving up and AI art throwing up tons of garbage everyday . Traditional forms of art will become quite rare and I believe will still have tons of value in the future. I believe it will be treated as a luxury in the near future or sort of like buying a "Designer" or name brand item when you can get something else that does the same thing. I know this video is about jobs and careers.... which yea good luck...

Around the Moana mark this episode becomes unbearable torture

Jeff is a master. Huge influence. Got so many people started. Respect.

We will not be able to sustain this "all online" trend for long because of natural resources lacking. Maybe the next decade will see those developments but that type of indirectly acquired knowledge will very quickly become obsolete.

Where are you guys love the podcast❤😊

I know this episode is 4 years old at this point, but there's a podcast episode by Jessica Vill where she walks through all of the Michael Jackson allegations. Before watching it I was sure he was guilty but after that I completely changed my mind. We should stop using Michael Jackson as an example, there's A LOT of evidence that he was innocent. Journalists wrote absurd articles and never retracted them. We read those articles and believed everything, never questioning if there would be ulterior motives to drag a celebrity's name through the mud. This episode had mentions of errors of the past and I can only hope that someday most people will see what was done to Michael Jackson as one.
