Today, I'm giving a talk at the Arundel Literary Festival on the threat AI poses to the creative arts in general, and honestly, the more research I do, the more bleak the landscape looks.

So...here's my request to brighten things up, celebrate human creativity, and share our recommendations for artists in all disciplines. Post a recommendation on this thread. Could be a painter, musician, ceramicist, a 'knitter' (is that the word?), or even a writer, with maybe a few words about what sets you on fire from their work.

I'll start with this...I'm a huge fan of painter Andrew Wyeth. I think it's because I can always see myself in the place he paints, and he gives a perspective, so you don't just see the landscape, you see it through another person eyes.

Writer? It's always been Thomas Hardy for me - my comfort reads. But current...Kristin Hannah who can do no wrong. Her books transport me. Music - I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan down to the bone.

So give me some names to look up, or a song to listen to. The best of humanity is in its creativity.
