“Surface memory” brought back memories of shoes that cut or robbed into the back of my heat. It was a visceral response. I loved that it evoked such a strong response.
This is one of the more outstanding weeks of art that you have found, I think. It is always amazing what people create, really like the head dress and the rest are wonderful, thanks for sharing your finds of the week.
Thank you Imi as ever! #100 times and this is still such a wonderful collection as usual and its hard to choose a favourite. I admire them all.
But it's toss up between the aluminium sunrise (so clever), A Big Beast ( love pencil drawings) and Surface Memory because I keep getting one of those blisters on one heal and I can feel it but would never think to paint it!! I know what badge to make too ;)
What I like about this series is that it turns saving art into a form of curation. Over time, the selections begin to reveal patterns in taste, attention and what keeps drawing the eye back.
A big beast and a feathered one is my favourite. It feels both unfinished and complete at the same time and a lovely feeling of wildness not completely tamed but understandable.
I've followed along since the beginning and I love these newsletters, and they introduce me to new artists that are really helpful for me to use for my IB art portfolio. However, I can't help but notice that in the written portion (the intro, prompt, the poll this week), they seem to have been generated with AI. (The odd emoji/italics/bolded words and just the wording of things seems AI to me.) I've noticed it for a few weeks now, and if that's the case, I am going to unsubscribe because I don't support AI usage, especially to generate text. I've loved this newsletter for 100 weeks and it truly has been incredibly helpful, and it makes me sad to see yet another creativity based source possibly falling into the hands of AI
Hi Annabelle. I can assure you that no AI was used in the making of this newsletter, and neither has it ever been. I write every section myself and will continue to do so, as I do not use AI in this process. To address your specific concerns: the emojis were simply me trying to add a little fun to the poll. I bolded some words as they felt significant (I really did want to say a huge thank you, and featuring 1000 artists felt noteworthy). And my use of italics was in line with how they are occasionally used when naming or calling out things. In referring to the past few weeks, I can only say that I follow a repeated format for the introduction and prompt each week — in the introduction I mention the artists I have featured on Artists Pages that week. In the prompt, I start with a call to action and then explain further the creative task for the week. Each newsletter takes hours to compile and write. It is a little saddening when human writing (and art) is named as artificial. However, I understand your scepticism. I hope this offers you clarity.

You are so welcome, Ralph! I’m so glad you found so much to enjoy in this one.

Thanks so much, Sally! Great choices.
