Parts of Us - 2018 1/5

There is no good use of generative AI because the technology was built on theft of creative labor. If that position surprises you from an artist whose life's work was scraped and used without permission to train trillion dollar technology, educate yourself. www.michaelwhelan.com/faq/#digital...

Hey kids - some scam artist is using a scam Gmail account to impersonate me. If you get an email from “me” that seems fishy and isn’t from my actual email — it’s not me! I’m sorry and BOO SCAMSTERS!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Agree!!! Even if paid reviews are out of the budget swap with an art friend review each others work. It’s so important! @catoliveirastudio.bsky.social gave me such a great review on my portfolio but also my website user experience which is often forgotten. Thank you!!

Having feedback partners is crucial to freelance illustrators. And I love mine. I recently swapped Portfolio Reviews with @amandamorrowart.bsky.social - we both do paid ones - and it was fantastic. She checked my blind spots and had wonderful suggestions for improvements. Thanks, Amanda!

Not overly tired today, so I'm outside piling wood for the winter, and it gives me immense joy. Next, I will buy an axe, learn to chop wood and fulfill my dream of being a lumberjane 💪 #dreams #winteriscoming #summeractivities #amIafarmerquestionmark

As I consider starting my portfolio website from scratch (might change platforms), I don't know if I want to downsize to 1 or 2 categories, or actually increase the scope and show everything I worked on (not just kidlit stuff) 🤔 Decisions... Are you team Minimalism? Feel free to drop your site.

Thinking of exploring this character... Expression studies, some poses and maybe even a friend or two? 🤓 #kidlitart #characterdesign

I’m seeing Squarespace upped their fees and just saying - if all you need is a portfolio website, Carrd will suffice. You can use my free portfolio template. It’s basic, but it’s way cheaper than SS & not hard to set up

Sygnin@sygnin.com · 11mo ago

Since #PortfolioDay is coming again, I just wanna mention I made a free Carrd template you can use to make a basic portfolio website. There's also a video with instructs on how to use the template. You can get it for free or pay-what-you-want on my Ko-Fi:

Last day of school! #kidlitart #summer

Three days into your vacation and you are already completely bored out of your mind... 🫤 #kidlitart #dtiys by @erikaruggio.bsky.social #ruggio3k #characterdesign #drawingchallenge #picturebooks

I am on the hunt for two artists to recommend for the two scripts I've just been contracted for through Scholastic, soooo...if you are a cartoonist who finds a sweet older midgrade romcom set in New England in the fall totes your cup of hot apple tea..MESSAGE ME. (before end of July)

Great example of the importance of personal projects and playtime 🤩 And great book.
