Easter 2024
Happy Easter!
The purpose of this text and this humble drawing is to wish happy Easter to the people I care about. To do this, I wanted to start by telling you something that happened a few weeks ago involving one of the video games I watch, Counter Strike.
Counter Strike is a great work of art. From time to time, the game's owner, Valve, holds drawing contests. The designs that win these contests are added to the game and Valve pays the artists for their royalties. It turns out that copyrights exist to protect legitimate authors, they do not protect drawings made by artificial intelligence, nor drawings that have already entered the public domain, nor do they protect people who sell other people's drawings saying they are theirs.
Valve takes care to avoid drawings produced with artificial intelligence or stolen drawings, known as plagiarism. With this it specialized in finding cheaters.
The Counter Strike world championship is taking place and each player who qualifies has the right to place a small work of art within the game, a signature. It turns out that people are so distracted by this story about artificial intelligence that they no longer have the courage to pick up a pencil and paper and write a signature. They'd rather ask an artificial intelligence, or steal someone's signature or hire a professional artist.
What did Valve do then? He caught all the cheating players, called them into a small room one by one, presented paper, pencil and said: "do the signature you sent by email again in front of us."
Inspired by father Valve, I decided to wish Happy Easter with a drawing I made with paper and pencil. It wasn't good, but I intend to improve in the future.
Until the end of 2022 I was drawing every day. But then I stopped when I started dedicating myself to a contest. Not drawing, competition to get a place in the public service. I decided to dedicate myself exclusively to these studies so I stopped reading, drawing, playing the flute and piano. As a result, I got all the exam questions right. According to my correction. The brokerage firm insists on saying that I made two mistakes, unfortunately it is their opinion that counts.
Only now, with a month to go until another contest, am I reorganizing myself. I went back to my reading projects, especially reading the Bible, and decided that I was going to draw every day. If I meet my goal of drawing every day for a month, I will buy a calligraphic quill as a gift for myself.
I decided to start by drawing this egg. The egg is an important Easter symbol that means waiting. But it's not a parked wait. Although the egg doesn't move, the animal inside does. My real-life egg is the states of Ceara and Pernambuco. I never went beyond these two states, with the exception of a few bus trips through Piaui and Rio Grande do Norte. But I never went on foot in any state other than Ceara and Pernambuco. One day I intend to break this egg. Get to know the rest of this planet. Meanwhile I wait. I wait inside my egg, improving and improving myself.
Easter now starts on March 31st and runs until May 18th. May it be a time of celebration of life for me and for all of you. Be honest. Use Artificial Intelligence and a touch screen. But also use a pencil and keyboard with buttons.
Avoid the embarrassment of trying to drag up on a screen that isn't touch sensitive. Use the tools, don't be used by them. Draw, sing, dance, play instruments, it's Easter time!
I take Judo classes at Ikigai Dojô in Crato, Ceará and I am currently 4rd kyu (orange belt).
My plan is to teach about sport and war through chess and judo.
Any help is welcome, reading me is a big help. To Share is very good. Cash help too.
