Ciao #portfolioday

I’m Karina Giada, a watercolor book illustrator. Lately, I’ve been deep in the trenches with gothic arches, lady knights, and red dresses.

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.

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.

Any guesses to who it is 🫢

I am living off of crumbs - I read the Cosmopolitan article with @senlinyu.bsky.social yesterday and it had a little treat. I did want to color in her dress but I also couldn't decide on a poison green shade and lost that battle.

artists... use those 3d assets.... look up references....trace pictures of your own hands... it's not cheating, it's self care, so love yourself :)

“Someday I am going to love him in a moment that isn’t stolen.”

CONGRATULATIONS to our lovely @senlinyu.bsky.social for such exciting news yesterday. I’m still in disbelief that maybe one day, we get to experience all our unraveling emotions again but on the big screen.
