I'm down to collaborate with creators of any size if I think we can make something good, but if you use AI art for your avatar or in your videos, it's an instant no for me.

OpenAIās strategy is very clear, itās trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

What do you even say about a giant like Drew Struzan except study him. Go make some marks, some actual marks, with pencils and paints and an airbrush if youāve got one hanging around. Everything you could ever need to learn about this craft is in his work.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss š

We are in a crisis of sell outs. With recent stark examples like Riyadh festival and respected filmmakers embracing AI. I hope it kills these dinosaurs and makes room for new voices who to create and succeed. We need to make shame hurt more.

"I can't even draw a stick figure" you can, you just haven't tried. And if you do try I will love it, because you attempted to do something you never thought you could and that's amazing.

Fun update on the James Mulligan situation, If you don't know he is the alleged AI/ Plagiarism Disney artist I guess he didn't like my coverage of the topic. He is attempting to remove any trace of his alleged bad behavior from the internet. We of course will fight this as it falls under fair use

What I love about comics is the gap between panels and between page turns, it's a very special and nebulous type of zone where audiences can fill in the blanks with their imaginations, better than any book or movie can achieve, really good for moving stories forward

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

Most autistic people I meet think their struggles at work are personal failings. But itās not you. Itās a system designed to reward masking, punish needs, and burn us out. The shift begins when you stop asking āwhatās wrong with meā and start asking āwhat do I need to thrive?ā
