Leo Boyd ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Leo Boyd on May 27, 2023 9:56:06 GMT 1, Sad face am I. This is our last weekend in Vault on Tower Street before I head off to another temporary studio space with no tenant rights or long term security. I am sad and angry and pissed off that this building is going to be demolished. In a world that has slightly more foresight than our world, this Tower Street campus would be a community asset. It could be anything, from an artists collective to a small business hub. It could even be a school again. But its fate is to return to rubble and be replaced with rows of gloriously shit housing stock while the Monopoly man dances off into the sunset with his bags of money.
I might be pissed off about the destruction of this place but over the last weeks the Vault Community has really pulled together and made this move, not only possible but also full of joy and humour. And it is this, this mutual aid in crazy turbulent times, that gives me hope for the future.
The Vault is dead! Long live the Vault!
See you all in the Newdios.

Leo Boyd ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Leo Boyd on Apr 19, 2023 12:16:47 GMT 1, Obel Tower? Think I spotted that freshly painted hoarding on a walk along the Lagan last weekend ๐ Nice work Leo as alwaysโฆโฆ.. I didn't know the tower had a name. When I first scoped that hoarding it had some pieces from Belfast photo festival or something like that along it... one of them had fallen off so I thought I'd sneak it in there but when i went to put this up the whole hoarding had been redone.
The piece looks a little lonely at the moment.

If thereโs anything left, would you consider doing something similar to Dave The Chimps recent โBag of Shitโ, like a party bag of various items for a flat rate (not including postage)? I know those would be snapped up by those unable to attend (like me). Hey I just realised... I have been doing a studio sale for a while now... mainly with odd editions on wood and stuff but recently I have added smaller editioned works on paper. Anyhoo, when I have been posting these off I have been adding other bits and bobs to the envelopes like postcards and stickers and other prints and the like. So it is a bit like Dave the Chimp's bag of shit but not as formal

Its here.... leoboyd.com/ Sorry people... trying not to derail this AI thread as I do find it really interesting. This is one of the first anti AI art videos I watched. It is long but it is pretty good.

AI Art , by Leo Boyd on Apr 13, 2023 12:50:29 GMT 1, 100% agree with you and therein lies another issue - that they have no understanding of the craft or art in general. A solution looking for a problem like so many of these things. A programmer is never likely to be an artist and vice versa. Or at least of any real worth. Ha, I didnt realise, morphogenetic perhaps. I would love to see more! Cory Doctorow writes a nice bit about AI being a solution looking for a problem. I'll see if I can find it. What does morphogenetic mean?

AI Art , by Leo Boyd on Apr 13, 2023 12:04:04 GMT 1, I think he is right in a way. Its capitalism that is the issue here. Cool Avatar. Is it Prince Robot IV from BKVs Saga? Oh, and thanks for putting me onto Mad God! Ha yes Mad God is amazing. And quite mad. I think capitalism is a big problem in the AI world. I don't think corporations should monopolize creativity. I also think tech bros are a problem. The good thing about tech bros is they are going to fuck up AI in the same way they fuck up everything else.... the problem with this is that we'll be living in the fallout of the techbro mess. Also... the avatar is a picture I made. I'd been making tv/computer head folk for a while before someone turned me on to Saga. Good shout though because Saga is great.

Not all of these pieces are mine... this is a collection of 5 Belfast based artists. I dropped in for a look Leo and loved seeing your pieces and those of the other artists. Your pieces look great and it was a very nice bar to show them in. We went into Bootleggers for food and saw your work there aswell which was a nice surprise. Ah thanks I am glad you enjoyed it. I always forget that I did the pieces in bootleggers and am surprised every time I go in and see them there.
