New from 404 Media: we solved which AI company is buying massive shipments of rare books, scanning and destroying them to train AI. We put an Apple AirTag in a rare book, followed it. It ended up at an Amazon facility. Its logo is a dinosaur ripping through a book www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

I could swear I made this Tactics meme before but I couldn't find it, so I made it again
Made some X-Men collages during the junk journal session hosted by Apt 201 at Lawless Brewing in North Hollywood, CA.
if you're trying to get into drawing environments but worried about perspective, my hot take is don't worry about it at all. It's a lot more important that things FEEL in perspective than actually being in perspective, and that usually comes from strong composition, scaling and shapes

printing costs are incredibly inexpensive now & I’d rather see lots of unique new comics from cool people than constantly read about bad publisher shenanigans. I’ve heard ”I don’t think (publisher) is malicious I just think they’re really unorganized” 1000x over the past 30 years. idk man.

New: the highly controversial AI music generator Suno was hacked. The hacker sent us Suno source code; it shows the company scraped YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius. In all, Suno scraped *decades* worth of music from the internet. Obviously didn't pay artists www.404media.co/hack-reveals...
my friend says this pic is a banger so i post here
I just saw someone refer to Donald Trump as “Pervert Hoover” and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂😂😂
Use a shit ton of reference, wherever you can get it. Smash images together to get what you can't find or make. Drawing isn't some contest where you have to comprehend every angle of a hand and render it from memory. There's no prize for limiting yourself for no reason.

Thinking today of my late studiomate Jesse Hamm. He drew a lot of great pictures and wrote wonderful essays on the art and craft of illustration and cartooning. Here's a link to one of my favorite of his essays, on Alex Toth and cartoon realism: sirspamdalot.livejournal.com/89372.html

"you already use AI. You use meta and photo shop and whatever, so you really can't even talk against him okay" Shut the fuck up, none of us fucking asked for AI to be in any of these, nobody fucking wanted that. That's the difference. What a hypocritical horse shit argument that is, shut your face
Why the hell do you need your emotional support dog in the damn Olive Garden? Those unlimited breadsticks got you stressed the fuck out?
there's no valor in killing yourself with art. the industry and fandoms will only get mad at you for the audacity of being selfish enough to die before you could deliver. please don't make yourself a human blood sacrifice to your work. your art can't exist without you.
It’s National Cartoonist Day. So here again, for those who might need a reminder, is the best cartoon ever made. By B. Kliban.
I have considered Moleskine to be outrageously overpriced for quite some time but using AI to generate a sketchbook cover betrays a level of hubris that is wild even for them. Those high prices and they couldn't be bothered to pay a human? Dump 'em. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...
Moleskine's AI Lord of the Rings Collection Can Only Mock
New Moleskine X The Lord of the Rings notebook collection is "imagined by Moleskine, generated by AI".
cjleo.com
“We just wanted to confirm that all Moleskine notebook covers are created by our designers, while AI was used to enhance the background of these images. We hope The Lord of the Rings inspires you!” Oh, sod off, Moleskine. Tolkien would have despised this and so do I.
