Anyone who's read my blog for a while would be correct in assuming that I'm not impressed with the trend that took social media by storm over the weekend. It seemed like every account I follow decided to use ChatGPT to make themselves into a blister-packed doll with various accessories. Personally, I think that dolls and action figures are a lot more fun when they're not AI.
Sometimes it's fun to set a seasonal scene with them.
Or evoke nostalgia for a previous era I remember.
Or, as I've done at my studio, display little figures that embody my interests.
Instead of using AI, you can go on eBay or Classic TV Toys and find a fashion doll or action figure that kind of looks like you, dress it up, and add a few accessories that represent the tools of your trade. It's fun. Try it sometime. Need inspiration? This Pinterest board features real dolls and miniatures made by people and not computers!
