jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Yes. I like the fact that AI is biting Adobe in the arse though. They’ve been stuffing AI down our necks for years. 010
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They say no Adobe code used. Downloaded the Illustrator and Indesign clones and they seem to function well (quick). Pantonem CMYK support, PDF creation, ePub etc. Early days, and glitches have been reported by others. So jury's out. And of course Adobe's lawyers are going to be all over it 010
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Designer friends. Some clever people have rebuilt all the Adobe suite in AI. Built on Rust they’re clones of all the major Adobe apps. They run on McOS and Linux and more apps are coming Bit ropey around the edges, these can only improve and release us from the grip of Adobe getartcraft.com/appsgetartcraft.comCrafting Apps: open-source creative toolsImage editing, vector illustration, video, photography, PDFs, motion graphics and page layout: seven native, open-source apps from the ArtCraft team, built in Rust and free to use. 244

jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Violet Gibson shot Mussolini in 1926. Missed on the first shot, which grazed his nose. Second shot the gun jammed. Irish in descent, she was repatriated to England because of her unionist descent. Spent the rest of her life in a sanatorium in Northampton. 000

jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I made a profile on SaatchiArt. I don't know anyone on there or anyone who's had success there and I know it's nothing to do with Charlie and Maurice anymore. It's my abstract stuff - it all looks coherent as it should be after 10 years of serious art practice. www.saatchiart.com/en-gb/jamesa... 011
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Heritage open days. Visited a neglected local cemetery which a local volunteer group are starting to tidy. This Italian marble statue is grade II listed and commemorates Robert Fossett of circus fame. The ears are missing, one is on the desk of a local councillor as a paperweight. 010

jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 30/01/2026+1 for Affinity. Been ‘Adobe Free’ since CS6. Never subscribed to CC myself (but used a client account). Their bloated AI nagware is awful. There’s nothing I’m missing form Adobe apps. 000

jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Phishing goes on here at Bluesky too. Just had a conversation over a few days — was getting to the ‘click on a link’ part and account deleted. Be careful. Here’s some art. 021
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Bought a Bruce Maclean print. Met him when I was at art school. He said‘like yer pentins laddie- have a cigar’. 030
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Felt the same for over a year. Winding it down. Deleting projects accounts. 010
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Mainly eth. There was hugely involved Manifold tutorial - still there. I spent a year learning. This has largely been usurped by the efficax extension by diid- efficax.diid.art I did a write-up some time ago altjames.com/onchain.htmlefficax.diid.artEfficaxdeploy your art fully on-chain for cheaper than ever. 110
jamesatkins.co.uk @jamesatkinsstudio.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Ah thank you @ruralidyll.art just couldn’t get the visibility and Xter algorithm really stopped everything. But we raised a decent sum and it might raise more. 000
