I struggled to contain my rage this past week reading about the Cornell Seven. Rage towards men who use the degradation of women as a bonding activity. Rage towards the cowards who stay silent and perpetuate the system they benefit from.

I just had to turn down an assignment because the deadline was unreasonably tight - so, question to my fellow art peeps: what's the bare minimum time you need for a standard wraparound book cover? (For me, considering research, thumbnails, sketches, revision, painting, adjustments: at least 1 month)

Gouache study of Suilven. Last time I was there it was late Autumn and a kind soul had left 2 pieces of firewood in the bothy, othewise we would have been stuck trying to make a fire with wet gorse at 6pm. We had whisky though, which improved our situation considerably.

I keep seeing genAI decks on KS (with the creators doubling down on "It's all hand drawn!") doing REALLY well, with backers being none the wiser. I'll be honest, the motivation to keep working on mine (especially when I know it will take YEARS) wanes every time I see one of their adverts.

🏳️‍⚧️🌿HAPPY TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY!🌿🏳️‍⚧️ i'm viktor, a trans man illustrator from the u.k (unfortunately), and historical fiction, fashion, and fantasy is my cup of tea 🍵 look upon my visible self and artworks (and hire me) 🏳️‍⚧️ #tdov #transdayofvisibility
A digital illustration of a medieval banner. It says in medieval inspired script "ye olde trans rights". It is decorated with plants and blue, pink, and white flowers.Two portrait aligned digital illustrations of book covers.
Left: An illustration of Afaeran and King Galdor from the webcomic Wundor. They stand in the centre, facing each other. They are bordered by Ancient Greek inspired white columns and an arch above them. The columns are covered with grapevines, vine leaves, and hanging purple grapes. Afaerun is an oche skinned elf with flowing light pink-white hair, and wears a curved silver and ruby tiara, he smiles as he looks at King Galdor. King Galdor is a purple skinned monarch with a single white horn growing from his head. He has flowing dark purple hair, and wears a red leaf laurel. He holds Afaerun's cheek in a romantic embrace.  
Right: The cover for the book The Need for Dandelions by Alex Larkspur. 
Two men stand back to back surrounded by depictions of dandelions. The man angled to the front is Galen. He has tan skin, red hair, and hazel eyes. A large portion of his face is covered by a burn scar. He wears a yellow tunic and brown pants, along with a pink flower pendant. He lifts up one hand, and looks concerned. The other man, facing towards the back but looks over his shoulder, is Sasha. He has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and stubble. He is wearing leather armor and green shirt and pants. He is holding a sword. 2 different portrait illustrations side by side.
Left: Alder is a green skinned eladrin elf paladin. He stands nude in a forest. He wears a gold crown of laurels on his head. He looks down at the ground. He holds a sword in one hand, and a sprig of alder branch in the other, he has a shield attached to one arm. He is surrounded by green trees and yellow flowers. 
Right: A digital illustration inspired by the pairing Hansry (Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz from the game series Kingdom Come Deliverance). The illustration is influenced by a scene in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. It is separated into 3 panels. 
Panel 1: Hans Capon looks behind him in quiet shock at his bodyguard Henry.
Panel 2: Henry has touched Hans' ungloved hand with his gauntleted one in a gentle hold. The panel is surrounded by blooming flowers: herbs and plants that Henry can forage on his journey. Marigold, St John's Wort, Valerian, Sage, Chamomile, and Dandelion.
Panel 3: Henry meets Hans' eyes with an unreadable expression. He quietly yearns beneath it. A digital illustration of a purple, green, and grey-blue themed bookshelf.  The book shelf is filled with old tomes, Victorian inspired knick-knacks such as keys, teacups, candles, and a flask of a potion. On one of the shelves there is a framed picture of an anatomical human heart, along with a skull resting on a stack of books. On another shelf, there is a bust of Diana the Greek goddess.

Do you remember when millions of us tuned in to watch Bob Ross paint happy little trees in 2020? How art brought us some solace in a time of uncertainty? Can you imagine watching Chad type "Majestic forest at sunset, hyper realistic style, detailed foliage" in a genAI prompt? Yeah, me neither.
