And another birthday present for a good friend in Canada, who is going through a rough time. Sometimes, you just need the Trout of Vengeance. It helps. Happy Birthday, Nancy, and hang in there! 💪💪💪

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.

this is an ad to sign a contract with a demon. give youself over to darkness and be granted powers beyond other mortals
In legend Faust signs up and is granted success and knowledge beyond all other men. He pisses it away for decades going to parties until his body & soul are enslaved to the devil.

One of the "Subway Sketchbooks". I always used to doodle when I was commuting. Right to the point when I moved to Berlin, where the subway trains are super bumpy. 😅 But I seriously need to pick up this habbit again. Sketches whenever I am idle, this needs to come back.

And this right here is why I love the Fandom, and will always be deeply humbled and thankful for the creative energy being passed back and forth throughout all forms of media. You rock, folks! 🙏
We went through many dark times and events together, we will go through this one together as well. ❤️

'AI Destroyed the Digital Artist' (from our BLFC show) is based on the 80's hit by The Buggles. This parody is a modern commentary on AI art. In the same vein as the original, it's a reflection on how technological advancements can disrupt established creative artforms with sad consequences.

Here's a panorama shot of that gig. And they looked just like that when I was taking them down two days later. Sempertex. I'm impressed!
Taking them down was actually my first birthday present. Last year we built on my birthday, this year I got to shred them.

Looks like a déjà-vu, hm? Even with dishes and glasses already set everywhere. 😅 But this year, I came prepared...
Customer liked last year's 55th anniversary party in Berlin so much, they just made a 56th one this year.

Alternative color version for the new @candycoated.bsky.social character, a hunky Canadian 🇨🇦 water cooler delivery guy, based on their new werewolf suit. Which color verson do you prefer for this doggo?

@candycoated.bsky.social currently has a pre-sale of a new werewolf 🐺 suit - 3 days left, if you want to grab one yourself!
So we came up with an idea to introduce him as the new hunky Canadian water delivery guy. Maaaybe inspired by that vintage diet soda TV ad. 😇

With everything going on I needed to do something cathartic, and really wanted to try a WWII-style poster with Sheena.
I really love old poster graphics from that time period and figured it was a fitting theme!

Hey, if you see some guy at the Berlin Zoo, humming to the predators - that's me. 🤣 Okay, the Karakara isn't technically a predator. Always happy to see them be happy! The griffon vultures even flock over to the fence, get all comfy, and doze off while listening. ❤️Photo by @teskariel.bsky.social
