Soooo, I had my first triggering/flashback experience today. 0/10, would not recommend.

🎉Happy birthday to the sensational Swedish illustrator, John Bauer, who was born on this day in 1882.🧵

The problem with Bluesky as a platform for promotion is that nobody on this site has any money!😝

Anybody who ever uses "leverage" in a context other than moving something heavy is the Enemy.

What’s interesting is how this highlights the inherent biases. Churchill looks OK, if a bit dead-eyed. Frida has been yassified, and her body language is tentative. Gandhi is a total caricature.

It looks like somebody either didn't watch or didn't understand the movie. They would NEVER!

The idea that kids can only relate to stories about people exactly like them in every way seems like a very dangerous self-fulfilling prophesy.

In the book, Dracula is introduced as an old man, and gets younger as he feeds on people. This has also been the standard trope in adaptations, at least as far back as Copolla's film, as a way of reconciling the text with a traditional Lugosi-style sexy vampire. 1/

Lying is bad unless you do it via AI. False advertising is bad unless you do it via AI. Plagiarism is bad unless you do it via AI. Losing billions of dollars for no good reason is bad unless you do it via AI. Robbing cities of water is bad unless you do it via AI. You’re just embracing the future.

Happy #DraculaDay to all who celebrate! I've never done any full Dracula illustrations, but I have been playing around with a book-accurate design for years, here's a selection pulled from my sketchbooks.

This company markets science themed shirts, but their products are AI slop, often with concepts ripped off from actual artists, and they use AI videos in their promotion, all while promoting how environmentally responsible they are. So, I let them (and anybody who reads comments) know how I felt.

Agreed, with the caveat that sketchbooks are supposed to be whatever works for you. If you are the sort of person who naturally makes sketchbooks that are beautiful objects worthy of display, great! But then this advice isn’t for you.

Tag yourself, I'm "For Euthanasia."

I did this just to piss of Harlan's ghost.😝

Maybe it's just me, but if you're designing the cover for a book about historical figures, even if it's fiction, I don't think you should use a well-known painting of different historical figures! What say you, @fakehistoryhunter.net?

Or, hear me out, reduce traffic to Google.

I've been sort of operating under the assumption that everyone knows what a desman is but if you aren't aware you should look them up because they are perfect animals

WHO WATCHES OVER DUNE?!

Every Eurovision song should have to be a hype song for the country with random international lyrics from now on. #eurovision #moldova

Could my European friends put in a vote for Croatia for me? This is exactly the kind of witchy bullshit I go for. #eurovision

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in the field: inducing detectable neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against HIV within just THREE weeks after a SINGLE immunization which was further INCREASED after an additional booster.

“I feel my critical thinking and ability to sit and reason about a problem or a design has degraded because the all-knowing-dalai-llama is just a question away from giving me his take. And supposedly I tell myself I’ll just use it for inspiration but it ends up being my only thought.”

Question for artists who table at conventions/fairs/shows etc: What are the most frequent questions you get? What are the most annoying questions you get?

Nine times out of ten, "they didn't teach us this in school" is shorthand for "I didn't do the assigned reading".
