🎨 Pompey, F1, history and art 🎨
Callum Lang is on my mind and he's Pompey's 49! I've been working on this since that Coventry game at home in December. Finally finished it and renewed my season ticket in the same week! 41 hours. (Pompey 4 - Coventry 1)

Ryley Towler drawn in Procreate. This drawing is a year old now, but I'm trying to use bluesky more recently (especially now there are a few more #Pompey fans on here!) What a year it's been!

Writers, musicians, actors & other creators strongly oppose upending copyright law to favour AI companies, as suggested in the UK's AI Opportunities Action Plan.

As Kate Mosse says, seeking economic growth "cannot be on the basis of theft of our work".

Please change this from being the default, if you must include it at all. Prioritising "popular" like this is one of the main reasons all the other social media sites became awful and encourages shitty behaviour.

Yes to all this.
Given that every item we use, wear, drive, travel in, live in or work in, or watch on TV or film, has been designed by someone it makes absolutely no sense that the Visual Arts are marginalised.... and likewise drama, music, the written word.

'Early Morning.' (1981) A prolific printmaker Eileen Mayo's first linocut, 'Turkish Bath,' was made to instructions over the telephone from the great Claude Flight in 1927 and was bought by the Victoria and Albert Museum. A multi-talented artist, her work is once more coming to prominence.

Here’s one from around a year ago. Alex Albon drawn in Procreate. He deserves a good race weekend 🤞

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Ole ole ole ole Leclerc, Leclerc! Hard to choose between his Monaco win and Lando’s first ever F1 win for moment of the season so far for me.

From 2019, but I just learned about the Hollywood movie backdrop recovery program today. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
How 200 historic Hollywood backdrops were saved from the dumpster
As the studio system collapsed, hundreds of backdrops were tossed and lost. Thanks to the Backdrop Recovery Project, more than 200 have survived.

All v sad. It's left the industry poorer, both metaphorically and literally. (Hell, the in-app purchase disappearing way back in 2014 basically stopped digital growth.) Now a generation is soured on buying digital comics, as why bother, as this will happen to any new format if it becomes successful?
Comixology was never going to save comics, but it tried
