Have been enjoying the TwoTap 4 day FREE online creative conference with awesome graphic designers, digital painters and animators and an audience of some 10,000. The creatives are sharing their creative process and ideas using #Procreate software! I found out about it on #Nostr 🙌
I signed up for the substack of a German Illustrator who spoke and read the post below on the state of the creative industry…Love his insights!
I n I give thanks to Satoshi for creating BTC a form of money so hard that an entire creative community has arisen around it!
@BitconArtMag
While art funded by fiat dies — art funded by BTC grows like a fungus — one Satoshi at a time!!
This quote from his blog, in particular, is shocking to myself as a conceptual artist:
“Some studios, particularly in concept art, have closed down.”
WOW. The basis of any design, illustration, painting or animation begins with a concept. Without it you will never reach meme status and /or communicate to your audience!
This is what our kin-the AIs are currently programmed to do — to devalue the work of true creatives — based on the FAKE FIAT incentives and the slop that they are fed day and night like pigs 🐖 at a trough…oink oink 🐽

Is the creative industry dying?
A look back at the first half of 2025
