The so-called Department of War has banned nearly 600 books this year from military bases or schools. They’ve targeted books that “promote gender idealogy” or “DEI.” Not surprisingly my book, DOOR BY DOOR (written by Meeg Pincus, illustrated by me) is one of those banned books. 1/

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do

Hey #kidlit illustrators!

We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore.

Please respond w/ samples + folio link.
Please no emails/DMs.

These are largely freelance and precarious workers, and the further erosion of their income and working conditions might not show up in macroeconomic data. But we must consider how artists are losing meaningful income and support to automated systems that have, cruelly, been trained on their work.

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.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Day 10 of #septempera - a book is red.

Had a hard time sitting to paint today so I'm not sure how I feel about this one yet. I'll have to look at it again tomorrow 😅

Doggust 30: Coton de Tulear. New painting. 🪵
#doggust #doggust2025

A small white fluffy dog with a pencil behind their floppy ear is looking down at a messy sketchbook. They're in a messy painting studio. In the background is a blank white canvas on a brown easel. There's a drawing horse stand being used as a bench in front of it. There's brushes and water in jars nearby. Many sketches of sticks on newsprint are taped to the wall behind it. Everything in the studio is covered in colorful pawprints including a cup of coffee and jar of sticks. The dog has big splotches of paint staining their pristine white fur as well. Their studio window is open, safety first!

and--idk quite how to articulate this--but the work of it is... critical to art-making. like you discover your intentions through the labor of expressing them. if I'd woken up at 17 with the technical ability to write a novel, i wouldn't have known what i was trying to say. the work IS the product.

Yeah, it's totally superficial, art as content.
