There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Circa 2015 I think - did this as a design for these for a Pogs revival we were planing. Never happened but some of the designs were fun. One of the few times I actually got to illustrate at that job.

This. It's OK if your writing doesn't save lives. It's OK if your writing only saves you.
If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

Going through some old artwork on my phone, a thread.

Throughout my entire “career” as an artist, I’ve waffled about trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I had a period where I wanted to do more digital painting - splash art, concept art etc. that didn’t really take off.

as an artist: a pinterest board, a stick figure, and a 20 paragraph summary of the happenings in your ttrpg is more useful to me than anything AI
*vibrates violently holding a degree in interdisciplinary communication and collaboration*

You do not need genAI to communicate your ideas as a non-artist to an artist! A generated image doesn't actually share the key info that needs to passed on AND it discourages fruitful discussion

Back in 2015,a wonderful artist named Aud Koch was working at Helioscope in our mentorship program. As an exercise, she re-worked Wally Wood's 22 Panels in her own style, just to see how Wood's ideas might work for her.
(Aud's left commercial art, so all of those URLs at the bottom are kaput.)

"but we need to iterate on a bunch of ideas so our artists need to-"

concept artists have been iterating on ideas for decades, they're trained to do it efficiently

if you as a company want to sacrifice quality for quantity then that's on you, and it WILL show in the product, it WILL look sloppy
