The free foundation has supported AI artists for the last four years, and will continue to do so.
The platform is free for AI artists and the community. Additional features can be provided when you need more capacity, larger file uploads, a dedicated domain, or specialised features to support your practice.
Organisations can use the free platform tools for competitions, open calls, and galleries. Enhanced features are available for larger programmes that require more capacity, additional domains, or advanced functionality.
<strong>I love the pictures I've seen of Japanese yokai, or spirit beings--sometimes demonic, sometimes just mischievous. Like many anime artists, I've created some yokai adventures of my own, using MidJourney and other AI tools. I especially like the traditional belief that if ordinary household objects survive long enough (100 years, they say), they take on a life of their own and become yokai of sorts. My leading picture below experiments with that idea, setting it in a classically boring 1950s living room. I also love the bake nekos, or cat yokai, since I'm a big cat fan.</strong>

I was always attracted to art, but I thought I couldn't be an artist because I can't draw well. I became a writer instead. At age 50 I discovered that what I WAS good at was combining images to make new and different ones: in other words, collage. At first I did "pasteup" collages, which I still enjoy, but around 2000 I taught myself how to use Photoshop and moved into the digital world. Last year--the year of my 80th birthday!--I began using AI art programs heavily. I love them, especially Midjourney. I love to explore/create magical worlds of all kinds, including exoplanets and strange alien life forms.
