Ai-first isn’t human first. Every founder says that Ai will boost productivity and do things better than a human can do and faster. In reality, less workers means less overhead and more profits. Lets not get it twisted. Pivoting to Ai is a cash grab and a class issue.

Probably one of the strangest editorial story I illustrated in a while.

Back in 2011, I bought a pair of Cole Haan dress shoes and I loved them. I bought a few pair and some boots after.

A few months ago, I was looking at a pair of Cole Haans and wondered why the quality wasn’t there any more. Private equity is the reason. Cut costs to save money and profit.

This is a bad take. If you’re only thinking about the design process and not the greater impacts of Ai in the long run, you’re only short sighted. You’re only interested in how it’ll work for you.

Okay revised the starter pack description to make it clearer.

If u r a designer or illustrator please boost this to help me find other hiring directors.

If u r an art, design, or creative director who hires designers and/or illustrators, raise your hand—I’ll add u.

CommArts awarding Ai art, Pentagram using Ai art to make bad art and ChatGPT for a government project, and now a Skechers using Ai-art to make an ugly art that makes no sense for an Ad in Vogue magazine.

I am pretty upset by the slow death march the design industry is making.

If you’re a TAG member & are lucky enough to be working right now, probably the best thing you can do to be strike ready for 2024 negotiations is to start saving NOW. Hopefully we won’t need to strike, but everyone should be financially prepared if we need to pull that trigger.
