they got some gooooooood coffee there!

no thank you, i'll proudly not post on the illegal content nazi generator website.

Paint markers work really nicely on these, but I use water color and acryla gouache on hand book, and its amazing.

i tried to change it up this year with Moleskine, and I am not having fun with it, just too smooth of paper. Handbook feels more like a heavy tooth paper.

Handbook Journal (Speedball) its the only sketchbook that give me a great range to play with for mediums. Takes a ton of damage too. Also love painting the cover with something!

have you seen the Foundation jump scenes? those are very weird and pretty.

oh damn that was you!?!? I would look at the map just to obsess over it.

I hope I can live through a Post-Consumer world where we are not at the mercy of Shareholder Profits. I believe we have not "innovated" in the most efficient way, and also we can slow down.

in addition, in a post-consumer world. If the focus is to update and innovate for the betterment of society than profits, I believe we would see "quality of life" updates appear slower, but only reason is because its compared to "annual updates" that have so many diminishing returns.

Also really weird that Meta AI is used to make summaries for Hyperlinks, when I spent time writing something on the post!

Honestly, if Industries keep treating artists like this, I wish for nothing but the most beautiful collapse of the century. I'll still be painting at the end of the world.

I don't like living in a fight/flight in regards to Gen AI news. At this point, I'm not optimistic about the industry, but i'm eternally optimistic that cultural movements will bounce back once only the ribs of this gigantic, cannibal machine exists. Because I see nothing but amazing work every day.

-"The company has positioned itself as a friend of the industry, offering assurances that the artists and labels will have some control over how their work is used."

What an incredible, contradictory statement. Please read this Harpers article, they want to replace, not help: archive.ph/dudYu
