Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

Onfim’s drawing of himself on horseback as a warrior defeating an enemy.

Two of Onfim’s works. On the left is a copy of a passage from the Book of Psalms he did for schoolwork. On the right is an apparently autobiographical depiction of a monster labeled with “I am a wild beast.”

Some more spelling practice by Onfim with some human figures who have round heads and varying numbers of fingers on their big hands.

Onfim’s writing practice accompanied by 7 little people in his particular drawing style, who tend to have very big hands with many fingers.

Hey artists, show me your greenery art! 🌿 Accidentally, green is probably my most used colour!

A figure, leaping and reaching towards a ball of light streaking out like a star. His face is in anguish, his skin and hair dissolving into noise, stretching up to the light. Surrounding the star is a circle of millipedes, centipedes and a few silverfish. The figure has iridescent skin, like an Opal stone. Behind him is a murky green background, with hues of red and blue. Closer to the figure and the star, the background turns yellow, blue and green, echoing the hues of the figures skin.

An illustration by Hazel Budzinski. The main focus of the piece is a large tree, with branches that twist in and out of each other. Tied around branches are golden braids of varying lengths. The tree has lichen and moss upon it's branches, and surrounding this tree are turquoise ghostly visages of other trees. There is a grain to the illustration, overall giving a feeling of a flash photo taken at night, or something taken with a night camera.

An illustration created in a misty, faded style. It shows abstract trees in a mist, blooming out like watercolour. The sky is grey around them, and the bushes below them blend and blur together. Stretching towards the viewer is green grass with brown long grass sticking out.

A book cover of The Lies That Lie Beneath by Gerrit Van Eck, illustration by Hazel Budzinski. The upper half of the composition is a forest, lit in a blue haze that fades to green. A ring of mushrooms sits on the forest floor. The dark brown roots from the trees of this forest reach down underneath the earth, taking up the majority of the canvas. The soil turns from a greenish brown to blue as the roots get further down. On top of the illustration is the title of the book, which is formed by mushroom roots

Year of the Horse!! Hoping for safety and resistance in this new year ♥️ Collab with @yerlakar.bsky.social who did the horsey sketch #art #lunarnewyear #cny

A lunar new year illustration created by the artists hazelbud and YerLakar. It shows a horse drawn in a grainy red texture with blurred edges. The horse is positioned facing the viewer with one hoof stopped on the ground and another raised in the air. It’s head curves in front of its body, with its main spiking out. A reign is attached to its face but has shattered at the end. Surrounding the horse is a green outline glow, and the background consists of the traditional Chinese character for horse (⾺) in a faint red, patterned around. In the right hand character there is a pink ⾺ that stands out from the others. Framing the piece are pieces of red rope that form knots, but are all ultimately lose or untied in some way. In the left corner are two green and pink banners that form the phrase ‘I WILL NOT BE’ and at the bottom is the pink word ‘CONSTRAINED’ bordered by two light green and grey chains that shatter at their ends.

KoG got greenlit!!! Honestly so happy, here's a reshare of my favourite piece for celebration <3 Please go watch the pilot if you haven't already! #KnightsofGuinevere #KoGfanart #KoG

A fanart illustration of the character Guinevere from Knights of Guinevere, made by hazelbud. It shows a blue female figure floating in the air, back facing the floor, unnaturally long arms dangling down with her knees tucked upwards. Wires curve up and around her limbs, with one stabbing into her left wrist and wriggling inside, another into her neck, one into her belly, with others posed at the ready. Her neck is unnaturally turned towards the viewer as though it’s broken, an uncanny smile and wide staring eyes on her face. Behind her is a pink palace, hazy and ethereal. Fireworks explode in front of it, casting a glow against her silhouette

Trans Joy WIP - cause if I don't post it I don't think I'll ever finish it #art #transart

A digital illustration by the artist hazelbud. It shows a man wearing a red dress, leaning back mid dance, with a happy smile on his face. One of his hands rests on his chest, whilst the other is lifted up in the air, pointing upwards. Surrounding the illustration is a black frame, with a glowing border and glowing stars, and top surgery scars positioned at the top. His pointing hand sticks over the frame, and half of his dress covers over the top of the frame too. Behind him are frames on a wall, warped to a curved perspective that curves towards him. The illustration is not finished, the frames are all empty and the man is not fully rendered. His face is the most detailed part of the drawing, showing a moustache, goatie, short curly hair and dark eyelashes closed in a smile.

Gift for a friend :) Memory of us watching shooting stars (and one of us missing every single one) #colourpencil #art

A drawing made with colour pencils. It shows three characters, a brown rabbit, a ginger cat and a yellow dog stargazing. Above them is a multicoloured sky with shooting stars, lit in blues,greens,purples,yellows and pinks. The three characters sit on a dark green hill, and all three of them have a white and orange glow to them. The middle cat looks up in awe at the shooting stars, to the left the rabbit holds their hands to their face and closes their eyes happily, and to the right the puppy sits facing the side with a teary angry eye.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits.

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."
