This may be paywalled for some but it's worth a read: it separates the AI sheep from the AI goats in the publishing/media biz. It's a fetid slaughterhouse out there, 61% of professional authors (mostly PR/marketing/advert wallahs) use AI in some fashion. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Thinking about goats, as is my wont, and Flossie comes to mind. An excellent milker and when I did her in drypoint, I sold enough prints to pay for almost an entire semester's tuition of art school. Thank god for community colleges (NoVa-Alexandria) and thank god for Flossie, G.O.A.T

That event takes place on occasion of the 150th anniversary (on 25th of October 2026) of the naming of Lewis Carroll and Henry Holiday's tragicomedy "The Hunting of the Snark". Is that Munich artists society the only one worldwide where that anniversary (snrk.de/150th-snark-...) is celebrated?

“And here the earth returned from its year and flew down from the sun above, and the sound sang ever more beautifully and soft: ‘Go to your earth, you who have not yet died.’” —‘The Parson in Jubilee: An Appendix’ (1797), trans. @unpaginated.bsky.social

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults-Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe - living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Not sure if SF readers still read Lessing's SF series, Canopus in Argos, but they should if they like their SF "crispy-critter", as they used to say in the salad days of saying such things.

Someone left the Louvre ouvert so thieves came to hoover up the loot there making good their getaway from the musée on Sunday.

The deadline is next Friday. Fill out the survey. As an alternative: Write directly to ISED and point out the fact that the survey reads like a deck by the Tony Blair Institute and its push to accelerate “AI”, not by a Canadian government focused on sovereignty.

MGM letterhead logo from 1965. Taken from this classic "I, a powerful person, am completely useless"-type letter from the collection of Firesign's Phil Austin (we've all saved one of those!). Guy Green was a director, at the time lensing "A Patch of Blue" for MGM.

This is a must-have for anyone serious about pen and ink work. Swipe/ref libraries aren't just about figure/accessories ref, they're also about technique and style. And why using a flexible dip nib is so important.

Leonard Bernstein congratulating Nadia Boulanger fifty years ago in 1962, when she became the first woman to lead the New York Philharmonic in a full concert.

No author, editor or publisher is smarter than their intended audience.

Arts degrees are worthless, yet what they produce is so valuable to the “AI” industry that if it had to pay for that value, it would go under. Got it.

AI wants copyright protections for itself but brazen theft for everyone else.

Amongst typesetters, "follow the copy out of the window" was once axiomatic. For illustrators, "follow the concept out of the window" still makes a good Prime Directive. #bookpub #illustration #conceptualillustration #adventuretime #posterart

Ripping off my illustration work? That would be a real step up for me. #illustration #bookpub #penandink #conceptualillustration

We've reached peak bullshit as artists. Article starts with hilariously uninformed attempt to equate the old studio system with contemporary system of being a ghost-artist for talentless hacks. Gresham's Law applies to the arts as well, bad art drives out good. www.ft.com/content/d84c...
