Be Kind Penguin • Artist on Instagram

[Be Kind Penguin]

Hi all, i am a long time follower of the forum but first time poster. I have been developing my own art for some time. Please visit my Instagram for pieces I have been making. They are a commentary on contemporary life , political ironies and more, using a cartoon baby penguin I invented and developed myself. Hope you enjoy!

Apologies for my ignorance, but I am not sure what you mean.


I would be grateful if you could clarify:

(a) specifically which peace movements you're referring to; and

(b) what stance they hold that is hypocritical.

[Be Kind Penguin]

There are many examples but for example here I am mocking the UN. They claim to support peace and human rights while the greatest offenders of rights sit in security council and peace keeping forces run from confrontation leaving vulnerable populations open to slaughter and genocide

How many of these are AI generated, or at least AI sourced and touched up?

[Be Kind Penguin]

These are not AI generated, I created the character and these images myself from scratch and have original source files to prove it. So
Much for a bunch of shit losers who bitch and moan over every thing here instead of actually appreciating art. Forget it. Will post somewhere where art is actually understood. What a shit site

Relax a little, why not explain what they are and the medium rather than Wig out. I am honestly not sure what you expect, for a start is there any link between penguins and the United Nations or did you expect the viewer to make the link? Perhaps the ‘greetings card art forum’ might be a better place for these.

Standard.

Artist: Artist posts generic, derivative shit art.

Forum: What’s the meaning behind it, how’s it created.

Artist: Throws toys out of pram, butt hurt, slags off forum

The End

[compound]

A new one

[Jamie Redman]

Well that escalated quickly 😂

Please don’t leave penguin man the forum needs you!
The world needs your art!

Your body of work AI generated or not has the power to bring people together and inspire change. It has the ability to unite us all, a light in the dark. Your unique perspective with the penguin head shows your creative talent is truly special, and we are all fortunate to have you as part of our community.

Long live the penguin 🐧!

Some possible ideas for future pieces:
Penguin Damien Hirst
Penguin Banksy
Penguin Warhol
Penguin chucking plastic into the ocean
Penguin works for Big Pharma
penguin Nazi
Penguin CEO of Pfizer
Penguin attacks another penguin for not using their pronouns correctly
Penguin sexually assault Greta
Penguin trump

[Be Kind Penguin]

Thank you this is exactly what I meant to convey. At least someone gets me. Appreciate it. And apologies to others above didn’t mean to get angry or defensive. They are my own works not AI generated so I was a bit offended at the insinuation. My goal and dream is to us these images to spread love and peace and raise awareness to the hypocrisy and inequities that plague our society. 

peace

I don’t think a penguin has been put on all the above artists work before 🙌

And if they are not AI generated then I apologise, too. Have seen so many new Instagram and DeviantArt “artists” creating works using Stable Diffusion and the like that it’s becoming boring. Personally your art is not for me, but I would not want to dissuade you in any way as I am but one uncultured t**t on the internet. Good luck with your work, dude - I mean that sincerely.

[Be Kind Penguin]

Thank you I appreciate that. Everyone has their preferences so I respect your opinion too. 

[Be Kind Penguin]

Hi all, been a couple months wanted to show what I’ve been working on

[Beetle Bum]

Some lovely work, well done. Thanks for sharing.

[Be Kind Penguin]

Thank you, one recent one I mocked up as a take on Hirst Currency project

Lol

I personally think these all suck absolute ass, but did want to ask, why penguins?

[Ildefonso 77]

personally not my taste but i applaud you for taking the chance and creating
art that interests you. Hopefully there are others that may appreciate your
kind of art.

[Be Kind Penguin]

Thought I’d d share some newer pieces if any one is interested

[Buttercup NYC]

Thank you for sharing.

I think your images and viewpoint may make an interesting children's book. I'm not saying that your stuff is childlike but could resonate with some age groups as you are trying to make your voice heard.

[Be Kind Penguin]

That’s actually I’m playing with, with a plan to donate 25% of proceeds to fight climate change and conservation !

Thanks for the feedback

[Be Kind Penguin]

Cards for $5 with 25% being donated to species conservation and Antarctica preservation efforts at WWF and ASOC orgs. PM if interested
