I'm so "untalented" (not really) that I combined two different pre-existing (and previously published) artworks of mine ("Book of Dimensions" and "The Devourer Cometh") to create a new image for a recently penned dark speculative poem of mine. #poem #poetry #speculativepoem
Forbidden for a Reason By Richard H. Fay Seeking secrets suppressed by society, I pore over ponderous tomes of taboo lore, Books banned for their forbidden facts. Weird words open a dangerous doorway Allowing abominations to penetrate our plane, Dealing a devastating and destructive doom.

If you're looking for a large number of accounts to give a shit about human-made art, you may be on the wrong platform.
JUSTIN DRAWS DAILY. @JustinLync91747 You know what's sad? Ai "artist" can get 1k followers and views and actual artists don't get shit. Especially small artists. Why don't people like actual art instead of generated? 11:43 PM · Jun 13, 2026 · 2,347 Views

I'm a self-taught artist. I ended up a published illustrator and cover artist (although I'm no longer doing art for publications) and accomplished seller of print-on-demand merchandise featuring art. When I was doing art for publications, I did some on-assignment/commission.

Days after having the run-in with the AI cultist who "called bullshit" on my "self-professed talent" (remark made on June 10th), I'm still laughing over the absurdity of it all. Since that cultist made that remark, I've written three new poems and took a photo for use with one.

I hate to tell anyone to quit art school, but I also find myself questioning the need for an art school education. I never went to art school, and yet I'm an accomplished artist. Plus, I've heard horror stories of art schools DISCOURAGING creatives to continue their education.
Michael @TheMG3D · 1h Do you think people should keep going to art school or is it a waste of money?

It's one of the many reasons why I prefer reading classic literature over contemporary literature.

It's already industry standard—and literature has already been destroyed.

Somebody (or more likely some bot) replying to a poem I posted asked "do you paint or draw?" Yes, I do draw. Not only do I draw, I've been known to combine my drawings with my poems. On occasion, I'll actually create drawings inspired by my poems. Two recent examples:
In Anger and Hate By Richard H. Fay In anger and hate, I planted a seed From which a sickly sprout sprang. Nourished by strife, sustained by grief, Tainted seedling grew twisted and bent 'Til corrupt sprout became warped sapling. Gnarled branches scratched a somber sky; Black roots delved deep into my rotten soul.

Tormented by Shadows of the Departed By Richard H. Fay Larvae slither across my floor at night. Lemures whisper taunts in my ears. Specters trouble my sleep with their moans. Ghosts haunt my dreams with their groans. My tortured existence is forever haunted By the shades of those who have come before.

"Do you paint or draw?" You tell me. Do I? (The paintings are old — I haven't actually painted in decades, but I have done so.)

I assume any account that exhibits so little understanding of what folks actually call themselves in their Twitter/X names, headers, AND bios (I also mention the fact that I'm an illustrator and artist in my Twitter/X bio), is, in fact, a bot, since bots truly understand nothing.

"Do you paint or draw?" Considering that I call myself an "Artist/Illustrator/Poet/Polymath" right in my Twitter/X name and that I have "Artist/Illustrator" right in my Twitter/X header, I find this to be an odd question to ask me. Nowadays, this is the sort of account I block.

Added my recently penned poem "Battered But Still Afloat" to an sea image obtained from Pixabay. Background image free for use under the Pixabay Content License. #poem #poetry #tethered #battered @ProfeSteve1701 @EveLovestar
Battered But Still Afloat By Richard H. Fay Tethered to troubled memories, I remain caught in crashing waves Pounding this poorly protective port Lashed perilously by a pernicious past. Vile recollections batter this frail vessel Threatened by thoughts of previous wrongs, But somehow this assaulted craft remains afloat.

Made a minor change to the poem I penned earlier today, "Early Summer Morn", and added it to a digitally modified version of my own photo of my pink rose bush and daisies. #poem #poetry #flowers #rose #daisies #summer @ProfeSteve1701 @EveLovestar
Early Summer Morn By Richard H. Fay Daisies stand proud in the sunlight, Swaying softly in the slight breeze. Roses perfume the warming air, Spreading a fetching fragrance. Clover blossoms beneath both, A quainter flower among kings. Bees labor amid them all, Buzzing from bloom to bloom.
