Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

1/4 Well look at that. Open Ai and Google outright reject “Opt-Out” models, hell they even reject basic transparency requirements. AI companies demand they get everything, including our Intellectual Property, for free, and without anyone ever being able to tell the companies no.

While I wait patiently for the release of Mickey 17 for another couple of weeks, here is my take on Bong Joon-Ho's debut film Barking Dogs Never Bite... #filmsky #movieposter #procreateartist

Two women are at the rooftop of an apartment in Korea, one staring into the void while the other is reaching out for the binoculars the other just dropped. The building across it casts shadow on the apartment building, signifying there is someone else at the rooftop on the other building. The whole picture is set on mint green background. On it reads: A FILM BY BONG JOONHO 플란다스의개 BARKING DOGS NEVER BITE. The English part is written small in thin handdrawn script, while the Korean title is in bold graphic calligraphy.

I'm biased but I genuinely think Hollywood is leaving money on the table not commissioning bespoke illustrated posters. Outside of like Dune these are literally the only posters I remember from the past 5 years and I've only seen one of these

Challengers poster. Closeup of zendaya with mirror sunglasses reflecting her two sweet twinks playing Tennis

Lisa Frankenstein poster with fun neon 80s weird science vibes of... I think Lisa Frankenstein and her monster sitting on a retro sci fi pod

Yes!! Recently in Japan more movies are releasing illustrated alternative posters separately from the main poster to target different audiences. And they are so good!! A famous example is the Midsommar one, it got so popular that A24 released a limited edition print and it sold out in seconds!

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴 Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists. If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter. openletter.earth/cancel-the-c...

8 February 2025
Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction

Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez

Christie’s, New York

Dear Nicole and Sebastian,

We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s.

Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them.

Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work.

We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction.

Yours sincerely,

The undersigned artists

Hello #portfolioday, I'm a Japanese illustrator looking for work in posters, covers and editorials or any other fun projects! 🎨 natsumic.com ✉️ natsumichikayasu@gmail.com

Alternative movie poster of Céline and Julie Go Boating. There is a mansion covered in ivy floating on a lake, and two girls are rowing their boat towards it, while facing the audience. There are red theatre curtains drawn to the sides on the foreground, with a decorative border framing the poster. The title of the movie sits at the top of the poster, drawn in a playful style in hot pink. The credits sit at the bottom, typed in modern art nouveau typeface.

A young father and his daughter are floating on clear sea with their arms relaxed and wide open. The daughter is in the sun but there is shadow casting onto the father. There is subtle animation of them floating and the sea reflecting sunlight. On the top of the image reads Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio in an elegant serif font, the bottom of the image reads AFTERSUN and Writtern & Directed by Charlotte Wells in the same typeface.

Illustrated movie poster of Portrait of a Lady on Fire, directed by Céline Sciamma. There are two figures, one in a red dress and one in green, facing each other holding each others' hands. The figures are cropped to the neck down. There are embers flickering on the foreground.

Illustration set in an old cinema. There is a film of a sunny snowscape being screened. A deer and a fox are escaping out of the film, snow gently falling out of the screen. A woman sits on the front row and leans forward upon seeing the spectacle.

Photograph of the illustration in use, two magazines stacked on top of each other on a dark brown desk.

Photograph of a magazine opened to a page with simple illustrations of tropical plants drawn in the style of glowing neon lights.

Photograph of a magazine opened to a page with opening illustration of a fiction section. There is a book in the middle of a page with a big, bright red rafflesia flower on botanical patterns.

Illustration of elderly people lined up to be examined by a doctor. The doctor is “scanning” each patients’ “price tag” that hang from their neck with his stethoscope. There are two figures in silhouettes monitoring the doctor by a window.
