My most recent book cover project!

Adlynn Aster @adlynnaster.bsky.social · 3d

Excited to announce a launch date of October 27 for BOSS MOVES, the first book in my Boss Goddess series. Books in the trilogy will be released monthly through the end of the year! Sign up to receive my love letters 💋 I'll be sending out a free sexy short in the November letter! 💦 AdlynnAster.com

Art nouveau meets comic book vibes in this book cover for BOSS MOVES, Boss Goddess: Book 1 by Adlynn Aster. The cover resembles a gold edged tarot card. On it are swirling vines bracketing a dark-skinned, beautiful woman in a forest green, sparkling evening gown. She holds a tarot card in her left hand, and in the right, Death's scythe. Behind her is a pink-tinged full moon.

lászló krasznahorkai described in details, UNPROVOKED i might add, how he'd be 'tortured & killed by Arabs' while discussing his Jewish heritage. he went out of his way to share his vile anti-muslim & anti-arab racism, knowing the impact this would have.

László Krasznahorkai: „The Arabs would certainly accept to torture and shoot them dead”
By: Saturday - 2023-12-16 Column: Culture-Arts

In an interview on the Friderikusz Podcast, Kossuth Prize-winning writer László Krasznahorkai also talked about the Jewish origin of his paternal family and hinted that although this would not be religiously sufficient for Judaism, it would be sufficient for the Arabs to torture and kill him.

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.

Someone asked me couple weeks ago if I used AI to create book cover art for a new project. Mind you, this person has known me, as a multimedia artist, for ~26 years. Ofc I was fking insulted & shocked. That's the shittiest thing you can say to an artist who's spent a lifetime developing their craft.

Screenshot of interview transcript with David Simon, creator of "The Wire," being interviewed by Ari Shapiro, NPR. Also fuck you, Ari Shapiro, for fucking asking this trash ass question.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, an‹ 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.

It’s cloud season! 🥳

Mountain at sunset, the mountain is bathed in gold-pink light and the super cute clouds behind it are lavender with bright pink centers. There are junipers in the foreground.

Hey, squirrelfriend

Concept/practice sketches for an upcoming set of book covers I’m working on. Hands are hard, but it turns out drawing masc figures is even harder (for me). My men all come out looking like Kardashians fresh from the salon at first go. #booksky #illustration #illustrator #sketches

Pencil sketches of hands and other body parts scattered over various pieces of paper. A pencil sits atop the pile of paper and a nearby prism scatters rainbows across the whole mess.

AI in the wild? This tray tissue I was given at a restaurant is full of errors and hallucinations…!

a tissue on a tray with a bunch of pictures and phrases and about food. but it seemingly contains a bunch of errors and nonsense:

“Doltclous”
“A full suamsh makes for you a happy heram”
“bood food is bood mood”
