Welcome to the IAMAG Community: A Space for Artistic CollaborationIn today’s digital age, artists need spaces to safely share their creations, connect with like-minded individuals, and grow their craft. The IAMAG community is designed to be that space. Here’s why and how it stands out from the countless platforms.Why the IAMAG Community?A Safe Space for ArtistsThe IAMAG community is built to be a secure and welcoming environment for artists to showcase their work. There is no AI-generated content, no scraping, just pure artistic expression. Whether sharing a new piece or engaging in meaningful conversations, this platform ensures your creative work remains respected and protected. Not Just Another Portfolio WebsiteThis isn’t your typical portfolio site. The IAMAG community fosters the spirit of artistic collaboration. It’s designed for learning, sharing, and connecting. Whether you’re seeking feedback, sharing tips, or discovering inspiration, the goal is to build a network of artists supporting one another rather than simply showcasing work. A Complement to Your Online PresenceIAMAG doesn’t aim to replace the other platforms you use. In fact, we encourage you to maintain your presence on those sites. In the community, we’ll even share tips to help you gain traction and visibility across your digital platforms. Consider this space a home base for meaningful artistic dialogue and connection.Supporting IAMAG and Accessing Exclusive ContentThe IAMAG Community is entirely free to join and participate in. We believe in offering a safe, vibrant space for artists without any barriers. However, to help the community grow, develop new features, and maintain the unique IAMAG spirit, we offer an option to support us.By supporting IAMAG, you gain access to over 750+ hours of Master Classes—a wealth of knowledge from industry-leading artists—and all future content. This includes live streams from in-person events and a host of additional perks. Your support directly helps us continue providing more services and expanding the community offerings, but we’re proud to keep the community itself completely free for everyone.Whether you support IAMAG or not, we are committed to maintaining this space for every artist, at every level, to connect, share, and grow.How to Get the Most Out of the IAMAG CommunityTo ensure the community remains a place for growth and positive interaction, here are a few fundamental guidelines:Share ThoughtfullyWhile uploading everything you’ve been working on is tempting, we encourage members to limit their shares to no more than two artworks per day. This isn’t a portfolio dump—take time to share thoughtfully and give others the space to engage with your work. Quality feedback and interaction come when we allow our creations to breathe.Please don't share Links only, only media and we can remove any posts that won't follow the rules in this text.Be RespectfulArt is about expression; we want every artist to feel safe in this space. That means no insults, politics, or toxic behavior. This is a space where tolerance, respect, and open-mindedness are essential. Let’s focus on what matters: the art.What You Can Do in the IAMAG CommunityShare your artwork: Showcase your creative work and get meaningful feedback.Open discussions: Engage in thought-provoking conversations about techniques, challenges, and the creative process.Connect with others: Follow fellow artists, build your network, and get notified when they post new creations.Whether you’re here to learn, share, or connect, this community is built for you. You’ll become part of a thriving artistic network by contributing thoughtfully and interacting with others. Welcome to the IAMAG community, where art comes first and every artist has a voice.

As we enter the new year, I want to share a heartfelt message with all of you, especially the artists who form the lifeblood of our creative industry. This past year has been challenging in countless ways, and I know many of you have faced moments of fear and uncertainty. I’ve been there myself, and I want to tell you that while it’s easy to say, living in fear won’t help. We find the strength to rise again through hope and faith in our vision.

When I founded IAMAG, the journey was anything but smooth. There were times I thought I wouldn’t make it, yet holding onto hope and rethinking my approach time and again helped me navigate through tough times. This resilience has been tested repeatedly, especially in recent years, as the entertainment industry and IAMAG felt the ripples of change and challenges. But despite the difficulties, I found opportunities to evolve, ensuring IAMAG’s survival and growth.

One major challenge this year has been the fear and anguish sparked by AI’s growing role in the industry. Many have spent time-fighting it head-on, trying to cancel or control something inevitable. I believe this energy is better spent creating. The heart of what makes art extraordinary is its humanity—the uniqueness of ideas, the depth of storytelling, the personal choices, and the emotions infused into every piece.

AI-generated content, for all its novelty, lacks these elements. It cannot replicate the soul of a true artist. This is why, even in a world flooded with generative art, the value of tangible art stands out more than ever. The traditional art market is booming, and this is an opportunity to showcase the profound difference between what is created and what is generated. This is also why IAMC25 will feature more traditional artists than ever—a celebration of the timeless craft that defines our industry.

IAMC25 isn’t just an event; it’s a tribute to all who have shaped this industry and a love letter to those who continue to create and lead. As IAMAG marks its 20th anniversary next year, this event will be one of our grandest. It may also be the last of its kind in Paris as we plan for significant changes in the coming years. This lineup, this celebration, is for you—the artists who inspire and persevere.

To all of you, this is your moment. The world needs your creativity, your stories, your art. Now more than ever, focusing on your unique voice and what sets you apart is essential. The challenges we face are opportunities to prove the enduring value of real art. Let’s embrace them together.

I wish you a year filled with hope, creativity, and success. Let’s make this year a testament to the power of art and the resilience of those who create it. I hope to see you in Paris one last time, to celebrate two decades of creativity!

This is some work I did for a game last fall called "Icali" at New3dge. I designed the overall city where the player begins their journey, with a focus on the gameplay. I designed the overall game map as well!
