Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

A week ago today, Anas al-Sharif was assassinated by the Israeli occupying forces in Gaza. On the day of his death, Anas warned of the imminent invasion of Gaza City. He shared a video, his final tweet, documenting nearby explosions. Less than an hour later, he was dead

His final tweet, published posthumously, is very moving

Screencap of a tweet from Harry Tafoya | @gaykatemoss showing a painting by John Koch – Polishing the Chandelier.

Text reads: 'I love John Koch because he was “straight” and married to Dora, which makes the blatant horniness of his work so much funnier. Like the idea of titling this piece “Polishing the Chandelier” (1958) is so ijbol, you know exactly what he’s polishing in his head'
