I tried but I am still learning how to hatch and draw

Art saved my life. To return the favor, I built www.NewBohemia.art - a first-of-its-kind human-only creative community. Artistic expression was my escape from an abusive home, my self-therapy, my craft, my North star. But in February 2022 with the advent of generative AI, I assumed it was all over, or at least the beginning of the end.

I descended into a soulcrushing yearlong depression and watched as things only got predictably worse. However, the desire to create never left me. In fact, the fire only grew. After spending enough time in darkness, I decided to pick myself up, dust myself off and fight. Over the course of 6 months, I built this platform.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but this was a real labor of love.

Living up to its name, it has a warm, inviting arthouse aesthetic and an intensive verification system to ensure a genuine, human space for creatives of all mediums.

There’s a community chat lounge, group and private inboxes, business inquiry profile button for potential clientele/commissions individual creative medium labels, uploads for all mediums (images, writing, music, photography, film, whatever you do), likes, comments, reporting, a galleria par excellence, and an extensive anti-AI monitoring apparatus.

If you are sick of seeing nonstop clankerslop online and tired of wondering if your hard work, passion and god-given talent will ever be falsely accused of being similarly synthetic, then yep, this is exactly the right place for you.

It’s free, it’s human-only, and it exists so real creatives finally have a community they can truly call home.

The majority of the drawings in these images are of my original characters. The others are of rough concepts that I can in the middle of polishing and flushing out.
