It was indeed, he couldn't go out otherwise because his roots were showing 😞

Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)

Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Oh absolutely, we've already seen skilled legit artists being accused of making art using AI for trivial reasons

Natasa Ilincic @natasailincic.bsky.social · 3d

I talked to the organiser about how AI sucks for multiple reasons (within their earshot) - and to be fair he seemed pretty clued in for someone his age, and he agreed - but I don't think he can spot them as easily as we can

Tabled at a local market today.
On my left: a woman selling "original" designed totebags (featuring AI cats).
On my right: "hand burnt wooden artwork" (laser engraved AI images).
Uuuuuugh. 🙃
On top of that I had to listen to them brag to customers about how long it takes to make them.
