AI COMPANIES ARE DESTROYING BOOKS as a blatant reminder that they're villains and techbros are useless to society. www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

AI companies are anonymously buying and destroying millions of books through middleman services to avoid headlines about AI companies buying and destroying millions of books

Booksellers say they're facing a sudden surge of orders for seemingly random rare books—and fear they might be profiting from their destruction.

This Jacquemus look caught my eye recently so I had to draw it 🖤 I would like a giant mushroom hat too please

It’s too hot so I’m air drying in front of a fan after every shower 😅 Does everyone do this?

LOOK AT FRANNIE AND ELSA in this incredible character art from @lenikauffman.bsky.social!!! If you pre-order HAPPILY EVER AFTERLIFE from The Ripped Bodice BK, you'll receive this gorgeous art print, Hot Ghost Mom keychain, and a sticker set along with your signed & personalized copy!

I’ve been wanting to draw a poster for I Am Love (2009, Luca Guadagnino) for a while now, and I finally carved out some time to draw it ❤️‍🔥 This scene really stuck with me

Whoever wins Best Picture tonight, Hamnet wins best picture for me 🌿 A little illustrated poster design I drew this evening 💚

‘Happy’ International Women’s Day, I guess. Most women I speak to these days are filled with rage, and for good reason. There’s still so much to do, I want better for women and girls 🔥

mood of the morning.

Learning to draw really just takes lots of time and practice. But when you say that a bunch of people are like "if that was true, then I could do it!" And then you're like "yes" and then they're like "see? that's why you're lying!!" and then they continue to not practice because they don't like to

I've said this before but just because some artists are able to draw BIPOC characters sometimes does not mean that they are "safe" for us to be around. Discernment is good to have, and I don't think I'll ever let that go. The keyword here is "sometimes".

WTF 😭 Steering clear of / blocking SelahSketches. I am baffled.

so very surprising that a filmmaker famous for stealing from - sorry, paying homage to - Satoshi Kon would gladly embrace the latest theft machine

Abolish ICE! For your printer, in both color and black and white.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

here is my little hack that helps sometimes

Artists, QRP with a practical art "hack" you use. Let's share some wit & knowhow.

Imagine doing a murder on a train and then you see Poirot. You’re so fucked

GenAI companies keep claiming the books and copyrighted works their programed were "trained" on without permission didn't retain complete copies in their systems. This was a lie. These companies may now face for even more liability for violating copyrights. 1/ www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

AI’s Memorization Crisis

Large language models don’t “learn”—they copy. And that could change everything for the tech industry.

All the best illustrators you have ever known or heard of, whether they admit to it or not, likely make heavy use of reference. Use it. Even if your style is more abstract, the advice still applies.

ARTISTS: quote with some random art advice!!

what do you mean the stranger things documentary shows them writing the script on a computer with 3 chat gpt tabs open

Hi #PortfolioDay Im Bruce, an illustrator, creative director, printmaker & sculptor. Big fan of old goofy SFF covers, forced perspective & experimentation. Nice to meet you :) ILLO: www.instagram.com/bad_manifesto FA: www.instagram.com/oombruce PRINTS: www.inprnt.com/profile/brucemackay

Read what you want, darlings, but it's odd when books that happen to feature sex are treated as radioactive and those about murder are treated as general interest.

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

Starting the new year with a renewed hatred for all things Gen AI. So I drew a knight slaying a dragon, can you spot all the hints that the monster is AI? 🌞

If you’re not willing to draw the line on your participation in a platform at “it helps create sexualized images of minors against their will” then I’m not sure you have a line or that it’s particularly meaningful. Many such cases but might as well acknowledge it.
