Wait that’s crazy! I used to go there and draw all the time when i was in LA!! Thank god i only brought black pens smh. Lotusland in sb is also weird about bringing in any sort of art supplies

So dumb i thought it was from the Onion at first.

I haven’t gone through this with them yet, but usually i go through the steps of cancelling until they offer a “discounted” subscription rate. It’s a band-aid that doesn’t fix adobe’s issues, but it rewards them slightly less for their behavior until we can find programs to replace their slopware.

Red States: We are canceling all programs that don't support our theology.
Blue States: We're canceling all the same programs, but because they don't support our business school.

Not using gen ai does not affect my life at all
It’s the easiest boycott
I don’t even have to think about it
It doesn’t even come to my mind if it weren’t for those ai and tech bros trying to force it on us

Don’t let them tell you that you need it
They need you!

No one talks about the part of freelancing where you’re trying to schedule multiple clients but everyone keeps shifting their start times around so you can never plan, resource, or balance the work out across the month.

Once again got asked if I draw digital or with my hand

“Ohh digitally, I see. But do you sketch it first by hand?”

Bro, dude, my brother
It’s all done with my hand
My hand suffers the most

A former coworker of mine once caught me trying to double-tap-to-undo a piece of paper i was sketching on — multigenerational embarrassment

So many old friends in portland wow! Glad to see idsa is still going strong out there

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

#AIslop #refuseresist

I mean, if i were as bad at writing as Altman, I would also think chatgpt was impressive

Thanks, Michael!

This is so fun!

I haven’t done a quick cad-to-render sprint like this in a while

I built a render station last year to speed up the amount of visualization work I've been doing, and I have to say: It's been such a good investment! I wish I had done this when I was in school.

Here’s another sketch of the Baja Sneaker i designed for Deckers X Labs in 2020. I’m sad i never grabbed a pair of these before the brand wound down a couple years ago :(

When has it ever been the responsibility of the consumer to adopt a product, rather than the responsibility of the business to create a product the consumer wants???

Last September, OXO launched a line of products I worked on for over two years. Truly a labor of love, this baby-led weaning set checks all the boxes for the human-centered design practice that I find fulfilling. #blw #oxo #industrialdesign #idsketching

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

Assembly and DFM are those things you dont really learn in school, but somehow it’s so satisfying when everything clicks into place!

I usually try to keep a pretty one downloadable on my website, but i have a plain text one that I use for applications and sharing with recruiters/clients

We're in times where thieves can identify as artists, but people can't identify as themselves.

Nice work! I’m a big fan of some of the designs they’ve been releasing!

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he's building a 19th pool. Maybe he's buying himself some formerly public land! Maybe he's taking a Supreme Court justice on a dream vacation! Maybe he is reupholstering the Statue of Liberty to hide the poem.
