If you open the landing gear will it take off a finger instead of just bruising one?! 😱

Ever wondered what it would look like if I pencilled a recreation of the cover to Transformers UK issue 82 and the mighty Ochopante (www.instagram.com/ochopante/) inked and coloured it?

Wonder no further!

I've started grating between a quarter and a half one one clove of garlic into my tea (Yorkshire Gold) just before adding the milk. In my mouth it is a new symphony of flavour. My husband accidentally tried my tea and regretted it but everyone will come around to it eventually.

Of course that prompts more enablement, so I also need to grab that Xaaron and Flame set 😍

I have re-acquired Time Wars, Target 2006, and a couple of the other major ones like City Of Fear but that's about it so far. Got to start with the ones I remember the clearest from childhood 😄

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK Season 3 hits Netflix TODAY! We got two episodes in before school!

I was a character designer on the show, and here's something leftfield; the 1950s B-Movie inspired Molebots from episode 2!

Lots of early takes here before ADs Jermaine Jose and Jeffry Chozon set me right!

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Creative Market, Adobe Stock, and every stock site should prohibit the resale of AI-generated imagery and ban people who are caught trying to sell AI-generated assets. If I wanted to use that kind of garbage in my project I would make it myself. Their ONLY advantage is a guarantee of skilled labor.
