If its useful for anyone, to remove Ai assisted editor from your photoshop task bar (on Mac). Click on Photoshop2026 > settings > interface, then go to options and uncheck 'show AI assisted Editor'. That won't remove Ai completely but it will get it out of your eye line at least 👍

Thumbnails, roughs and final art from What Would You Say To An Astronaut. I don't share much these days but wanted to share some of this book as I am super proud of it. I really loved coming up with the colour schemes for space & the different planets. I hope you & your small people love it too.

Here's a Page from my sketchbook, I decided to colour it up. I don't have a scanner anymore so had to take a pic with my ropey phone and use some photoshop skillz but I'm happy with how it turned out 😁👍 #illustration #sketchbook #photoshop #alien

For the last three years in Devon, I’ve been learning how to ring the bells in our local church tower. But the tower is cracking, and we’re going to have to sell off our lovely bells unless we can pay to fix the tower 😭 Can you help us, with even a fiver? 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/save-bovey...

Save Bovey Bells: we need your help!
Bells have been ringing out over Bovey Tracey for more than 500 years, and we don’t want to be the generation that lost our bells.

The steel girders that hold up the bells are badly corroded and putting pressure on the tower walls, which are cracking. This problem will only get worse!
We need to remove the bells and their heavy frame, replace the girders with modern galvanised steel, then reinstall the bells and their frame.

We need to raise £125,000 to repair the tower. The ringers themselves have already raised about £60,000 and need to find the other £65,000.

Here’s a link to give, and if you can boost your donation with Gift Aid, that will add 25p to every £1 from you!

Haven't watched much #Glastonbury yet (on TV) but Gracie Abrams was great, and made my day playing Just Like Heaven. Now watching Pulp and they have still absolutely got it. Jarvis' voice is fantastic. You know Common people is a banger when everybody in a crowd that size is dancing 😃

Just got a sitting standing desk to help with neck pain, to stop me sittdown all day long (not good for you) and all that sort of stuff. Think it's going to take a little getting used to working standing up 🫤 but it's inly day 1, good so far (need to sort those cables out).

Today, as my 14 year old Dell XPS is starting to stumble towards the end of it's time on this earth ☹️, I've spent the day having a 'Dell tower plus' Vs 'Mac Studio' kind of dilemma. Pros and cons on both sides but my little brain is spinning with all the numbers.
