WELCOMES YOU TO THE LAND OF OZ WITH THE HAPPIEST SMILE YOU'VE EVER SEEN.

PIC(S) INFO: Resolution at 1024x1462 (2x) -- Spotlight on the Scarecrow of Oz, ink and watercolors on board, original and a close-up version, from the American children's literature classic, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (1900) by L. Frank Baum. Artwork by William Stout.

"When I was a boy I was tremendously interested in scarecrows. They always seemed to my childish imagination as just about to wave their arms, straighten up and stalk across the field on their long legs. I lived on a farm, you know. It was natural then that my first character in this animated life series was the scarecrow, on whom I have taken revenge for all the mystic feeling he once inspired."

-- LYMAN FRANK BAUM, a.k.a., L. Frank Baum (1856–1919), American author and creator of the "Land of Oz" books

AI copies showing up when you search an artist.

This has been an issue since AI generators started to get popular but it's slowly getting harder to look up artist on google or look up references on pinterest.

First example this is what happens when I search the artist Kelly McKernan. The first thing you see when you search her is this AI generated image that was created with her work, along with probably some others mixed in.

A bunch of people, including myself reported this too google. As it's misleading information on an artist.

If you look up an artist you want to see their work on the front page, not a AI generated image.

It was taken down for a short time BUT it came back today.

Another example:

It's the same with big name artist too, like William Stout. The image above isn't his, It's an AI generated image that was created with his work.

Now if anyone saw this and knew nothing about these two artist they may assume that A. This is the person's work or B. this person is a AI "artist". Both misleading and incorrect but like I said not everyone knows these facts. Also some people can be verry gullible, as we learned from there being flat earthers.

As for the Pinterest issue, just look up popular things like "anime girl" or in this case "gothic architecture"

6 of these I can tell are AI generated, which sucks on multiple levels. Including that they are useless as refs. The perspective is off and they all almost look alike.

What I'm trying to point out here is that AI generators are being used and praised far too much. To the point where it is effecting search engines.

You almost can't escape it, you will fine something AI generated everywhere. Heck even on my windows search bar is even asking people to generate an image.

Just frustrating and sad, that we can't escape these things being everywhere.

PaleoArtist William Stout interviewed in new Comic Book Creator

The latest issue of TwoMorrows Publishing’s ongoing magazine Comic Book Creator (Issue 32) leads with an interview with American fantasy artist William "Bill" Stout

[frankensteinical]

Forty Days of Frankenstein, Bits and Pieces: Please take a gander at this piece of fine art created by frequent Frankenstein artist William Stout in 2003.  I’ve talked about Mr. Stout before.  He’s most commonly known as a paleontological artist, creating drawings and paintings of prehistoric creatures.  But he has also created a number of excellent Frankenstein images over the years.  This one is to the standard image—Karloff/Pierce-ish, without being a slave to it.  This is just a beautifully rendered Monster.

William Stout is an amazing artist, even though I often feel sorry for his old malnourished-looking dinos. No, the original does not have speech bubbles.

Artist William Stout.

[scribblesartcollective]

William Edmondson was born sometimes in 1874 on a plantation in Tennessee. The exact date is unknown as it was recorded only in a family bible that was destroyed in a fire. He was born into the Jim Crow South to previously enslaved parents working as sharecroppers where they earned $12 a month. William had little or no education, as he lacked access to it given his social status. When his father died when he was 16, he left Davidson County for Nashville where he worked railway. Following an injury though, he began work as a custodian at a hospital and worked there until it closed in 1931. With those wages, he was able to buy a modest home where he lived with his mother and sister, and occasionally other relatives. You might find yourself asking where the art begins? It might surprise you to learn William would not enter the world of sculpture until he was 60 years of age. As a child, William would say he saw angels and god spoke to him, and as an older man he said that he began to sculpt following a vision from god.  "I was out in the driveway with some old sculptures of stone when I heard a voice telling me to pick up my tools and start to work on a tombstone. I looked up in the sky and right there in the noon daylight, he hung a tombstone out for me to make. I knowed it was God telling me what to do."

He began with tombstones made of discarded limestone from demolitions but soon began branching out into ornamentation and decoration. He even sold them. A sign in his front yard read "Tomb-Stones. For Sale. Garden. Ornaments. Stone Work WM Edmondson" As it should already be very clear, William was a deeply religious man and his work was greatly influenced by his faith as well as a nearby Calvinist Baptist congregation nearby. His work depicted biblical characters, animals and even local prominent community leaders such as lawyers and preachers. And also, popular figures like Jack Johnson and Eleanor Roosevelt. His largest and only architectural work, stood in his backyard. A sculpture of Noah's Ark, made of four carved tiers of limestone. One day, an art enthusiast from Peabody College, Sidney Hirsche happened to be wandering through Edgehill where William lived and came across the sculptures. A collector, Hirsche knew he had found something special, and became one of William's greatest supporters. His work which was largely given to and bought by friends and neighbors, was now being purchased by the elite of Nashville, for their gardens and offices. It gardened serious attention, from Harper's Bazaar to the Museum of Modern Art. But also adversity, a friend of a friend of Hirsche, photographer Louise Dahl-Wolfe tried to publish her photographs of William's sculptures to William Randolph Hearst, but a racist, he would not publish the work of black artists. Luckily, better heads prevailed elsewhere. The Museum of Modern Art, in 1937 exhibited his work as a one man show. A first for a black artist.

William was incredibly prolific despite having a career of only about fifteen years, he's thought to have made some 300 works of art. He died in his home in Nashville after months confined to a bed from illness. He's buried in Nashville's oldest cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery (then Mount Ararat Cemetery), but the exact site of his final resting place, like the exact date of his birth, has been lost in a fire.

William, like many outsider artists, is sometimes buried under reductive adjectives such as primitive. But while his figures are stout and emphatic, they are in fact sophisticated, especially given how late and how short a career he had.

Barrett on time and motion

This reading helps define in succinct terms the usage of both time and motion in the making of art. Time as a marker, a progression, or singular moment. Motion as a vehicle for changes in position to mark emotion, meaning, duration, and impact. Barrett covers the basics of time, including chronology, duration, tempo, and sequence, how those elements intersect with motion as implied, recorded, and kinetic motion within an artifact. An aspect to these elements of particular interest were the usage of time as both a medium and symbolic foundation in making specific artistic expressions. I have used dimension and distance before as symbolic, but never time. This definitely started to get wheels turning on how I might turn that corner into using time, and with that also motion to effectively express an idea. Obviously both of these elements of time and motion can have assigned meaning and experiential significance, both of which are valid and a constantly moving target depending on creator, and viewer, which is mentioned throughout this reading. How can time and motion be used and experienced effectively.

Andy Golsmith’s ice pyramids are a fascinating usage of environment, it’s natural forces that create motion and in this case degradation and the intersection of motion and time in a non-choreographed framework as a means of expression.

William Wegman, selected video works; I have to say I really, really don’t like William Wegman. I always compared his work to Ann Gedes but with dogs instead of babies. I can appreciate his use of his dogs and their motions recorded in time, but at the end of the day this makes me aggravated to say the least and maybe that is exactly the point.

Jacques Louis David, Oath of the Horatii. Ok, so now I’ll also fully admit I love classical painting, and this work in particular is a wonderful work both a representation of the neo-classical tradition but also as a usage of time and motion in 2 dimensions. There is so much captured in a singular image, pride, duty, sorrow, grief and strength. Also the juxtaposition of stout figures to the left with the weighted languid poses of the figures on the right.

Happy Birthday, Babe! @cagenewman

Even though my official birthday plans for you won't start until tomorrow, and continue throughout the weekend, can't pass up giving you your presents. While we celebrate another holiday, I stand firm this is why we need a whole birthday weekend or week for you, so it doesn't steal your thunder, obviously! First, I couldn't pass up a delicious chocolate malt and stout cake -- something tells me the Irish would approve. Best yet, I also go cupcakes to bring to your brother's which means you could keep this cake for yourself -- so long as you're willing to share with me. The photo frame has an original vinyl of Hank William Jr's music and the lyrics to one of his songs scripted on the outside. Now I know you're not exactly a jewelry person but something tells me these are pieces you won't mind in your wardrobe. The watch is one completely crafted from wood, aside from the inner mechanics to make the watch actually work. Felt like this is something you could dress up, dress down, wear whenever you like and it still looks timeless on you. Plus the brown goes with your pretty blue eyes. The bracelet has a simple white gold charm engraved with a 'C' for Colton and his date of birth on the back to keep him close to you. Of course, little miss, couldn't miss out on giving you a gift. So I drew these little figures of us and she... made us... okay, so she definitely got your eye color right, just not the sizing -- never said she was gonna be the next up and coming artist but she is all too excited to give this to you.

Guess now that the gift giving is out of way I can get to the mushy stuff. The last year hasn't been without its difficulties, but seeing your birthday and celebrating it together leads us to yet another year together. There has been no one as honest, well-meaning, and caring coming into the life of someone with a child and immediately embracing not only your old high school sweetheart but my daughter, who adores you, in case you didn't notice. We're blessed to spend another year with you and going into the next year I hope it's going to be another exciting, adventurous, crazy, passionate, year around the sun till we're standing back here again next year.

Seeing the man you've become since walking back into my life has been such an amazing experience and I realize just how lucky not only I am, but so many people are to have you in their life. There's genuinely nothing I wouldn't do to make you happy, and I realize that I've never been more happy than because of you. You have the most amazing spirit and can't wait to see what this world has in store with you through the next several years of your life. You deserve the world and hope I can give you a fraction of happiness you deserve.

So, happy birthday, handsome.

The Dinosaurs: A Fantastic New View of a Lost Era

William Stout / text by William Service

Bantam Books 1981

When this book came out, it totally rocked my little world. As a kid, I was fascinated by dinosaurs and had a lot of books about them, but this book changed everything. I had never seen dinosaurs portrayed like this. The colors, the scenes, the action, the design—William Stout’s dinosaurs were alive. And they were beautiful. Influenced by a spectrum of artists and designers—Frank Frazetta, Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Norman Rockwell, to name a few—William Stout brought a new kind of dynamism and energy to an ancient world.

William Stout

God! It feels good to draw again and to especially post up this beautiful piece of work after months of radio silence on the art front. I was also working on a comic series project with Mike Gustovich and it's still under development for now. Finally got back. Started on my original tattoo design/graphic commission from my bud after getting a few things off my plate and going to start watercoloring this counterculture creature.

A few sketches that I drew up for the first original draft before going with a much more livelier look. I drew a lot of influences from various underground comix artists such as Michael T. Gilbert, Robert Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, and William Stout along with the whimsically surreal ink works of John Tenniel:

So stay tuned for more updates and me finally getting off my duff to work on some unfinished pieces. ^^
