Epic’s law team when they remember there are over 110 lawsuits against GenAi models in the US—lawsuits for copyright infringement amongst other violations— and the Unreal team is out there advertising LLMs as a central feature to one of their biggest products.
'The road to Unreal Engine 6' - www.unrealengine.com/news/the-roa... "for UE6, we see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need."
CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇
Every single day without transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. Please add your signature to this petition TODAY. actionnetwork.org/petitions/le...

After months of work, I can finally present to you the book cover for "Red de Lanterfant!" I made it for the writer Mark Damman! It really was a collaborative effort, and with the great art direction, it became something out of this world. I can't wait to show more #illustration #bookillustration
Being an artist means you’re drawing daily for hours while wishing you had time to draw
quote this with the piece vou've spent the longest on, and how long it took you 100+ hours, gallery painting. I started the concept and sketches in 2018 started the painting in 2021 and finished it in 2026 for a galleryshow. And when it sold, the postal service broke it in half. 🙃

I got plenty of rejections on my book before finding a publisher. And even though I knew it was part of the process, it still hurt every time. There's no way around it. But remember this: A rejection is ONE person's opinion on ONE version of your work on ONE particular day.
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
Painted this dude during a live skech session for Wacom and Escape Motions :). Needed to spent a little bit more time on him. This is the result :)

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... 🧵 1/4
