Hey, I’m a visual artist currently looking for freelance work. I work mainly on environments and game assets, including backgrounds, props, and 3D models. I’m especially interested in projects where I can build out game worlds and environments. Here's my Portfolio: www.behance.net/stienvisual

Honestly the AI thing sucks but posts like this help more than people think. I'm a designer/illustrator, everything's hand made, portfolio's in my bio if you want to take a look.

Are you a graphic designer or artist whose opportunities for visual work are under threat from AI? There must be larger community efforts to promote freelance artists and designers, but let’s do our small part: if you’re a graphic designer looking for work, drop a link below!

The editor languishing within me regrets the belt-and-suspenders effect of “fellow . . . co-stars,” and hopes he would have caught it before going to press.

Gave myself the challenge, and came up with two oddly symmetrical links. I knew two notorious figures who were best friends with Ms. Sidney’s fellow Mars Attacks! co-stars: Bob Evans -> Jack Nicholson -> SS Jerry Lee Lewis -> Tom Jones -> SS That’s show biz!

As an editor, I need help understanding something: Do YouTube content creators really misspell thumbnail captions intentionally because of the belief that it increases engagement? Or is there something about the apps that discourages proofreading? Grateful for insight from actual YT creators

Stop comparing the artwork of others Start making your own Your roughest rough draft Your first tentative fragments Will be better, will have more value than any easy comparison you’ll venture for clicks

I just assume everything’s on a tight timeline now, too. So no shade, really. The spirit of this is mostly as a tribute to what must have been a spectacular team that pushed out so many hundreds of L&Os over so many decades.

As fine as TV is today, I’m surprised at how often I hear line readings that don’t feel quite right—words delivered in a way that feels misaligned with their meaning. Just now I turned on an old Law & Order and realized: I don’t think I ever heard a bum reading on that show.

Interesting—this suggests an argument for a feature I’ve never thought of: that autocorrect for a given word should be disabled by typing in [sic] immediately thereafter. (For all I know this actually exists?)

People said Occupy was a failure and it ushered in 15 years of actual political engagement on economic inequality People like to call BLM, Abolish ICE, etc failures and, no. Spontaneous mass protest moments rarely win immediately. But they change the political environment and lay the groundwork.

Every time I see some writer proudly say they use AI, I feel like Veronica Cartwright watching Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, when he opens his mouth and lets out the unearthly shriek that reveals he, too, has become a pod person

Donald Trump doesn't own the White House. He didn't own the East Wing. The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is not his, either. They are ours and his acts of destruction are attacks on all of us.

UK publishing generated £7.4 billion in revenue last year. Compare that to: Premier League football: £6.6 billion Home entertainment: £5.6 billion UK film industry: 2.8 billion Now tell me again why authors don't deserve fair contracts and better pay.
