The majority of my digital art classes were largely digital so...

(although a few of my illustration classes made us to do mostly traditional just so we knew the skills, but didn't discourage digital)

A brightly lit white wolf stands in three quarters view, looking off to the right with head in profile, one foreleg slightly extended. The warm golden ground shimmers and fades into a deep dusky violet background and blue sky studded with painted orange and yellow stars.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

Very relatable for me, unfortunately. Toxic / abusive relationships suck so much.

A lot of the suburbs around Minneapolis & St. Paul are getting hit hard, including people just walking and getting snatched off the street.
They also are continuing to be extra aggressive towards observers.

Like Carrie said: NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

you have to learn to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. you absolutely need to learn how to deal with discomfort or it will make your life so much more difficult. if you always allow yourself to crumble or flee the minute things are difficult or unsettling, you'll never learn to overcome them.

Wow, that is incredibly rude and unprofessional of them to comment on someone's art like that.

Just do it. It's easy. Leave a voice message and read directly off the script if you're nervous.

Or just tell them to vote no on bill 1747 and hang up. That's it.

ICE needs to be dismantled, not given more of YOUR tax money.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
