you can really read whatever you want. just read slowly, just start with fun and challenging and you can get the habit back. for myself I treat reading not only as a fun hobby but a responsability towards my brain.

Among other things, this post does a great job of disentangling the classic notion of "AI" — how can we use computers to solve problems in smarter and more efficient ways? — from what LLMs are, and do

I don't personally take it as an accusation of being derivative, but as a favourable indicator that I've made them think and feel to the extent that they're putting my work in a cultural context alongside other respected creatives

digital sketch, again: similar cats in a similar space are congregating at a table with a whole another cat; this one seems uneasy and is presenting a ceramic horse

my pet belief is that encouraging children to create pseudonymous avatars for themselves should be part of "how to be healthy online" early education. be a sparkledog until you're old enough to decide otherwise. but introduced via play so it feels like personal choice to the kids?

If you can prompt AI, you can prompt the artist. The latter can also figure out what you mean.

I resent the notion that people who use hyphens where en or em dashes would be more appropriate deserve a greater assumption of authenticity than those of us who know how and when to use them, and how to insert special characters. I do not blame AI tools for stealing because they lack moral agency.

When a human author has written a work, when there’s a unifying intelligence behind it, it’s easy for an experienced editor to work out what the problem is, get a sense of what the author is trying to do, and (often) see how it could be fixed.

I always see nonpartisan, righteous anger at public art. Everyone loves to hate a concrete blob bought with taxpayer money, what's it even meant to be etc. My hot take: art funding is good and there's no benign policy for keeping out 'bad' art. You really just gotta fund it until a good one happens

Hi #portfolioday 👋 My name is Denis and I'm a #kidlit illustrator who loves bold line work, wonky shapes, limited palettes and painterly textures. I'd love to work on more board books, picture books, early readers and middle grade. 🙌 🌐 www.denisillustrates.com #kidlitart #illustration #art

Mixed media illustration of a green-skinned purple-haired witch waving a magic wand above a pot of daffodils who have eyes. There are other plants with eyes and mouths in the background as well and noted everywhere. A little girl is entering the greenhouse looking shocked.

Illustration of a two anthromorphic zebras in a sculpture studio. One of them has no stripes and is sculpting a bust of the other zebra who is sitting in a stool with her eyes closed.

Illustration of a little girl and her dad in the kitchen. The dad is stirring a meal in a pot on the stove. There are aroma lines coming out of the pot and the girl has closed her eyes and is taking in the smell. There is a black cat peeking above the counter top and looking at the pot.

Mixed media illustration of a boy wearing pajamas sitting on a desk with his teddy bear next to him, looking out the window at the Ursa Major constellation.
