Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

Finished my over the top gothic Lana piece yay back to illustration I get paid for #lanadelrey #illustration

When everything in the world seems to go wrong, I recommend fanart as a short term fix. #illustration #artwork #lanadelrey

Hi I‘m Julia, freelance illustrator from Germany! I like doppelgangers, autofoction, liminal spaces and everything a bit gothic. Book me for editorial-, book-, posterart, or whatever cool thing you can think of. 👯@juliasophieplath on insta 🔮Juliaplath.com #illustration #artwork

No matter where you are, they’re using the same playbook

I’m never going to talk about my lawsuit ever again, so if you want the gossip, here’s your chance: @adriandaub.bsky.social and I talked about the Epstein files as a document of Me Too backlash on @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Illu für Spiegel, über Missbrauchsvorfälle an einer Schule in Erfurt und die (jetzt) Frauen die darüber aussagen. #illu

one thing you can say about jeffrey epstein is that he simply loved emailing

Another oldie from the liminal places obsession phase. Enjoy this lovely hotel with a pool! #liminalplaces #artwork #illu

We had to say good bye to our beloved cat called Paul last year. The boy was always running through the high gras in the garden, when he was still able to do so. I like to imagine that he's still at it, wherever he is now. 🐈 #illustration #inkandpen

An old illu from 2023, for New Gothic Review. As always drawn by hand and colored digitally. #illustration #artwork #dog

Heyy watch ‚Honey Bunch’ end January! Trailer is out now! I drew the poster :) Handdrawn (& digitally colored). Had a lot of fun working on this with the two directors Madeleine Sims-Fewer and Dusty Mancinelli.

Dokus, Filme und Serien haben derzeit oft eine plastikartige, übertrieben glatte Optik.. obwohl die Bilder nicht KI-generiert sind. Ich habe im Newsletter darüber geschrieben, dass KI eigentlich nur die letzte Stufe eines langen Verkünstlichungs-Prozesses ist. 175149.newsletter.br.de/m/16771723

Having watched the great final episode #Pluribus, I'm more convinced than ever that the true horror of «the joining» isn't forced collectivity, but the loss of any appreciation for what is unique and specific. In this respect, the hive mind isn't only a metaphor for AI, but for capitalism in general

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

The Fisherman and his Soul, Illustration for the Oscar Wilde fairy tale #artwork #illustration

Daily dose of Werner Herzog: Bavarian musicians 💙

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Started a substack to share some illustrated essays/prose stories i‘m working on. Hope this will be a good place for exploration and a way to have smaller and more meaningful conversations. Anyway i‘m finding some joy making these :)

Diese Haltung, dass man auch mal das Gute sehen muss an einer Regierung, die die zivilgesellschaft zerstört, ist wirklich der inbegriff des reaktionären Zentrismus.

Vibe shift in the culture towards earnestness

enlightenment ideas of the autonomy of art got it all wrong: it's not art's freedom from social reproduction that makes it great, it's that making and receiving art are collaborative experiences where we develop individually through the mutual support of others.

The problem with that "First they came for" poem is it makes a lot of unlikely assumptions. For example it assumes they would ever come for me
