Today is the 30th anniversary of pinkerton, the second album by @weezer.bsky.social I animated this multiplane version of the album cover, which they posted elsewhere, but not here, so I thought I'd share it for anyone observing this milestone. I am! #weezer #pinkerton #multiplane

Hello! I'm Alec Longstreth, an author-illustrator pitching picture books and seeking representation. www.alecillustration.com For this #KidLitArtPostcard I'm sharing a sample illustration from my latest pitch, a wordless picture book about screens and imagination. #dragon #griffin #magiccarpet

A little girl imagines herself (and her stuffed animal bunny) flying through the sky on a flying carpet. She is followed by lots of birds and a gryphon, a dragon and a "fang-glider" (snake in a hang glider).

If an artist posts something anti-AI & someone in the comments blathers on about how much AI is the algos, or that people felt the same way about digital cameras and typewriters, or that AI is a tool blah blah blah, that account is one or more of the following: a bot, a grifter, a talentless hack.

Hand written text that reads: "In this first volume of The Plot Trilogy, Brideau has hand-crafted a rich immersive fantasy world, brimming with imagination."

Hand written text continues: "Readers will find universal themes of adolescent rebellion, surrounded by ideas so original, you won't find them in any other story."

Hand written text concludes: "Congratulations on your good fortune! You've picked up a great story!"

The quote on the previous three slides is attributed to Alec Longstreth, creator of Isle of Elsi. This image features the cover of the book, and instructions to "Pre-order Congratulations on Your Good Fortune Today!"
