(1/3) Im letzten Winter habe ich nach einigen Jahren Pause mal wieder brandneue, einzigartige Schnitte für Kleidungsstücke erfunden und die auch genäht – und zwar ein #Hochzeitsoutfit für eine Dame, die sich ebenso für die Jagd wie für Mode begeistert!

“Some called it #wicked, but she called it #love. Unfortunately, her loves were rather short-lived.”

I'm so happy that this year, inbetween all my other projects, I managed to get on board with #mermay – at least for one day!

On day 19 of Figuary, I was captivated by a model named Emily.

Her unique features, expressions and style, as well as the way she seems a bit not from this time, inspired me to try and paint her in digital oils.

Thank you so much, @emilymetalskin.bsky.social and @croquiscafe.bsky.social!

Finally, here's my take on a #StarterPack: The Protest Starter Pack!

To learn more, visit www.irisluckhaus.de/protest-pack/

Thank you for fighting unethical generative AI, or at least not supporting it!

#NoAIStarterPack #StarterPackNoAI #ArtistsAgainstAI #NoAIArt #CreateDontScrape #StopTheSlop
"Protest Starter Pack: Creators and Allies unite, stand up and fight! ★ All major AI generators are trained on stolen content. That’s unethical and unfair. ★ They’re built to deskill and replace human creators. With their own work. ★ AI users support theft, data laundering and broligarchy. Don’t feed the bullies! ★ It’s not “just” artists. They steal your data as well, and will replace your job too. ★ We need consent, compensation and transparency. It’s called Opt-In. ★ AI enables fraud & destroys the web with false facts. Stop the slop! ★ If it’s in the training data, AI reproduces bias, stereotypes and prejudice. ★ Care about the climate? Stop AI wasting the resources of our planet! ★ It is not “time to adapt or die”. It is time to fight – or adapt and die. ★ So let’s unite, petition, protect, inform, explain and call out! Together, we are strong. ★ Thank you for fighting unethical generative AI! Or at least not supporting it. Artists fight against generative AI, which – unlike technical or scientific AI – is trained on copyrighted and private data without consent or compensation, and used commercially, in unfair competition with our own work."

I hated seeing the AI starter packs everyone has been posting lately, the way they all look so uncanny and boring in their prettified sameness, and love to see illustrators taking over with starter packs that are as unique as their creators, their love for details and sense of humour.

Diese Illustration ist kein Comic und auch nicht neu, aber ich wollte bei #comicsgegenrechts mitmachen und habe vor Sonntag keine Zeit, was Neues zu zeichnen. Das ist also mein Plakat für die Vielfalt:

I swear if this DeepSeek thing turns into “this is why we need more of ppl’s work and data for FREE so we can compete with CHINA” BS, instead of what it needs to be, a reveal of how pointless and inept the tech and its peddlers are and have always been, i’m gonna be so pissed.

Recent unsealed internal messages from Facebook expose FB 100% knew they trained their GenAi on stolen works. It also shows how concerned FB is that lawmakers listen to rightholders (creatives, academics, etc) of the works they stole.

Never stop calling GenAi what it is: Theft!

Facebook walks through its risk mitigation in detail in this evidence previously marked, "attorneys eyes only." I'm super interested in this note which reads as if they established a threshold on memorization rate which Zuckerberg and leadership decided was acceptable risk. /4

Wir freuen uns sehr, dass unsere Lily Lux während der Vorweihnachtszeit in der #Bibliothek von Uster in der Schweiz (vor-)liest! Dort hängen nämlich jetzt zwei Poster von “Lily liest im Winterwald” über einem schick dekorierten Tisch mit weihnachtlichen Romanen.

Illustration einer Sympathiefigur für das Berliner S-Bahn-Museum von Iris Luckhaus. Paula, eine etwas ruppige aber durchaus freundliche Berlinerin mittleren Alters, steht mit der typischen dunkelblauen Uniform der historischen Schafferinnen mit hellblauem Hemd, sattblauer Krawatte, rotem Schiffchen auf dem Kopf und Flügelrad-Abzeichen freundlich lächelnd vor einem historischen Liniennetzplan.

Vor einigen Monaten habe ich das Logo für die formschönen BearCycles Lastenräder entworfen und freue mich nun schon sehr darauf, den Bären bald in Aktion zu sehen!

Logo für Bearcycles mit Silhouette eines Bären vor dem Schriftzug "BEARCYCLES"; E, A und R stehen übereinander, so dass man mit stark zusammengekniffenen Augen auch "Bicycles" lesen könnte, und der Buchstabe "C" ist jeweils rund wie ein Rad.

It's terribly nice to find friends, favourites and allies via other people's starter packs, so I thought I'd just start my own little list! <3

Zur Hundertjahrfeier der Berliner S-Bahn habe ich für das Berliner S-Bahn-Museum ein Ausmalbild nach einem historischen Foto des Stellwerks Halensee gezeichnet.

Das war eine richtig spannende Zeitreise dank vieler Recherchen, Nachfragen und Detektivarbeit!

For the time being, I guess I'll keep all profiles alive and see how things evolve, but also explore new playgrounds... and #cara feels like coming home!

So, if you'd like to connect on another channel, I'd love to see you over there: cara.app/irisluckhaus
