Hi everyone! My name is Spiridon, and my accountant says that I have a fundamental problem with art books. I collect them. I design them. I promote them. I love their smell, and my library is the altar where I pray.

I'd love to connect here, as Emperor Zuck decided to just delete all my accounts.

I also got a handful left. And still get asked about a reprint! I think it is time for Aphos 2 ;)

Sure, cancel Kimmel. But here is a Fox News host speaking about bombing and gassing the UN because of a malfunctioning elevator. www.reddit.com/r/CringeTikT...

From the CringeTikToks community on Reddit: Fox News host Jesse Watters on the UN’s escalator and teleprompter issues said “What we need to do is either leave the UN or bomb it.”

the artist is prompting the references, and drawing from them, copying even the errors.

I thought it was an issue of the moderators, maybe, but as this AI "artist" is winning prizes, I suppose the rot is systemic. Really a shame, it was a good magazine. Now it is worthless.

BB mag has a history of featuring AI stuff. This is the 4th time I am seeing it, called it out before, only thing they had to say was basically „no this is traditional work“. Yes, maybe, but based on AI references and implementing the SAME errors it generated! This time, it isnt even trad art.

Wow, I love the way this painting connects with the natural world, evoking the cyclical elegance of growth. Wonderful painting by Antonio Iovine.

Bleibt ihr in der gleichen Stadt?

Spiridon - Designer & Publisher @spiridude.com · 23d

Impossible, and really not worth the risk.

Spiridon - Designer & Publisher @spiridude.com · 23d

Yeah, I never thought it was easy or more people would do it.

Andor is BY FAR the best thing I have seen from anything Star Wars related in years. Absolutely the best writing and character development. Feels like a grown-up version of what it could be and being it. Every other installment can take a fat focken slice from this IP. Congrats to all involved.

I'm happy to announce that those two works of mine (these are just teasers!) will appear on @hardcoverart.com #hardcover2025

This is an amazing project that will have erotic art from numerous talented artists! Take a look and keep your eye on it!
The subject is RETRO!
#art #mmart #nsfwart

Cropped version of an erotic artwork as a teaser. It features a young blond man in a luxury shirt laying on a black sofa. And another man's hand is on top of his shoulder holding him down.

Can you help me share this?

I would like to announce my first own artbook - part of the Artbox Series by @spiridude.com caurette editions
The cover features a reworked piece from 2018, one that we felt was perfect for this. And still… something about it didn’t feel like me anymore.

A dreamy, pastel-hued illustration of a long-haired woman tenderly holding a young child in her lap. They sit by a calm pink-hued body of water, surrounded by lush tropical plants and glowing flowers. Soft butterflies float through the air as the warm light of a full moon glows behind them, casting a magical and serene atmosphere.
