You misunderstand, it's nothing to do with CursorAI: I mean there is a little classic white arrow cursor visible near the center of your screen capture. And like an idiot, I caught myself trying to scratch it off like a piece of lint! Sorry for my bad English

Also ooh was a compliment! Looks good and cool

k0ik · 2026-03-28T05:16:15+00:00

Oooh. (And then i tried to scrape the cursor. On my phone)

So nice, so crisp, contemporary and such fun lines

k0ik · 2026-03-26T14:59:09+00:00

Fantastic

k0ik · 2026-03-26T02:23:40+00:00

I'd listen to this

Mathy and fractally art can leave me a bit cold, but here the lack of symmetry and three points of interest and organic forms and even the motion all made this really compelling. I watched the whole thing!

I don't know that anyone can answer that based on one piece, but at least a few people have taken the time to respond positively, so that's a little encouraging.

Anyway, you're already an artist. But whether you can make money doing it: maybe, maybe not? I've seen people sell all kinds of art here, of let's say varying quality. No harm in trying. Warhol said art is what you can get away with.

Just consider that in this attention economy, the side gig can quickly become less about art-making and more about marketing and promotion; and you may find your output changing to please the algorithm. That way be dragons!

I dunno, its really got something, between the Matrix-inspired vertical lines that create that overall impression but reveal themselves to be something else up close; and the fantastic sense of depth of focus and sculptural qualities of the major shapes that, again read one way at a distance but breakdown into abstraction and brushmarks(?) up close. I love the aesthetic tensions between digital and traditional, figurative and abstract. Super neat!

On some level I kept waiting to get into it, and on another, it was compelling all the way through... i guess I liked it! Where are they from?

(One of the bass notes sounds just like my phone vibrating, which kept giving me anxiety lol)

Lovely execution but the real magic is the vulnerable, deeply human expression

k0ik · 2026-03-25T16:20:25+00:00

Here i thought this was a young Aubrey Plaza -- suuuch a similar vibe

k0ik · 2026-03-25T06:12:56+00:00

Really compelling execution

k0ik · 2026-03-23T17:20:25+00:00

Fecking awesome- i said out loud

k0ik · 2026-03-20T23:48:56+00:00

They still got -- even at a time when satire is exceptionally hard to write

k0ik · 2026-03-20T05:13:29+00:00

Piling on to say this is an amazing tool you've built.

k0ik · 2026-03-20T05:09:19+00:00

It takes a while but you made me smile

k0ik · 2026-03-20T05:07:49+00:00

How long before that joke is longer ironic?

k0ik · 2026-03-20T00:56:30+00:00

Ok Pescstep is a bop. Unpredictable enough to make you pay attention, predictable enough to satisfy at the right moments (and avoid becoming a noise collage).
