For writer Luke Savage, imagining the societal impacts of AI instinctively conjures the most dystopian scenarios. Once perfected, will AI-generated deepfakes accelerate the crisis of misinformation? Will AI destroy sex and romance? The scenarios are endless. thewalrus.ca/the-ai-revolutio...

Mark your calendars!
In coordination with Downtown Red Deer & the Red Deer Arts Council, Altruistic Current is pleased to facilitate a 6th Muraleers project! We'll be hosting a free all-ages Community Paint Party where everyone is welcome to help fill in the background of a collaborative painting.

It's been a real caw-cophony lately!

I'm back on my Chroma Crow kick and loving these colourful corvids---a warm-up colour series I started last year. The question is, what should they be? Stickers? Notepads? What other colours should I use?

Let me know your idea!💜🩵🩷💚❤️💛

DYK: I volunteer as a Project Design Lead for murals!

Altruistic Current is looking for AB-based businesses and organizations who would like to make memories this summer with a community mural! While this post is centered on Red Deer, we welcome interest and questions from folks around central AB!

I completed a new project: say hello to Space Cats 🌌 !

This repeating pattern features playful kitties floating in a star-filled nebulous space; it's been on my to-do list for a while so I'm happy to have it done (in both blue+yellow and green+orange)!

Got to stretch my legs and drawing muscles this weekend, enjoying the sun and the sights of Town of Canmore! Not to mention catching this quick illustration doodle of a matching dog-and-owner-set 💖 .

Mark your calendars, my most-favourite illustration is dropping as a shirt design in Feb 🔮.
I can't explain why I made it, just that it exists in the world come February. I hope you grab a slice!

Second in this memory quilt series. For this one I wanted to maintain more of the architecture of the clothes, especially curves from sleeves and collars, and focusing on large blocks of bold colour.
