Familiarize yourself with recognizing fake A.I. imagery…you will need this skill when you are older and 99% of what you see online is not real…💥📣

It’s a ✨COVER REVEAL✨ for Jeong Is Jeong, releasing 2/3/26 from @randomhousekids.bsky.social Pre-order link in bio! “What is Jeong?” a little girl asks her grandma, and so begins a lyrical journey of discovery, kindness, and understanding in this ode to Korean American language and culture.

My reaction to having a bunch of new people follow/like/repost my account is to immediately distrust it all and block accounts I suspect are stealing my work to feed the A.I. beast…fucking hate A.I.

I am so grateful for this honor -- TOUCH THE SKY is the first book I've written to make it into the Bank Street College of Education annual collection.

A promo post featuring the cover of the picture book TOUCH THE SKY along with its two characters, Vern and Gretchen. Gretchen is drawn in colorful colored pencils and is running happily. Vern is also drawn in colorful colored pencils and is happily leaping onto a swing. They are looking down at the cover of Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Books of the Year 2025 Edition for books published in 2024. The cover is a colorful checkerboard. The book is flanked by hand drawn gold stars and a script written THANK YOU in a blue starburst.

I feel embarrassed as I could have literally spent 5 minutes googling that but never did. Thank you Steph, I’ll try it out.

Chris @cpark.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Again, thanks for reminding me that there isn’t one silver bullet answer to protect our work but probably a multi-pronged defense is best. I hate that I’m lazy, cause this seems harder, but nothing motivates me like wanting to tell bullies to go F themselves.

Chris @cpark.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

I mean, I love this cause it’s truth. There’s good and bad about the decision to leave. I appreciate your honesty and not just giving me a happy-go-lucky answer.

A Minneapolis community surrounded ICE agents, telling them to “get the fuck out”. In the thread’s videos, you can see ICE detain someone and shove people around. Great work, Minneapolis ✊. Now, @governorwalz.mn.gov what are you going to do about this?

You know how I mentioned another PB I have coming out in 3 mos? Well, the adorable ZOMBIE AND BRAIN ARE FRIENDS also comes out on 9/2! Kirkus said, "... its quirky charm will readily appeal to young monster lovers ... [a] cuddly 'Can I keep it?' tale with a silly, flesh-eating twist."

Thanks Mara! I’m familiar with Glaze and I’ve tried to use it on images but it always crashes before successfully “glazing” the image. Do you know anything about or have you heard artists talk about Nightshade? Another anti-AI program.

I’m privileged and lucky enough that I don’t have to rely solely on social media to continue my career, but the way things are going I’m seriously considering bowing out completely and erasing any presence of my work. Genuinely curious as to what anyone’s thoughts are.

Chris @cpark.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

I hate to imagine it but this has to be a thing right? A.I. thief’s creating fake accounts to catalog artists work to train them? What steps are you taking to protect your artwork from A.I.?

Chris @cpark.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

(🧵) I’m finding it really hard to share my work on social media. These days. Creating it, no problem. But for the last couple months or so I’ve only checked my socials to actively block what I suspect are accounts looking to pilfer art styles to feed the A.I beast…
