Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

I’m thinking I might draw the third Snips book in this sketchbook so I timed myself and clocked this one at three hours. Might be doable and it’d be real cool to have a sketch book filled with original art.
