I helped this lovely brother-sister duo with their album artwork, and you can listen to the full thing now. They have a really lovely vibe, highly recommend

I'm shipping artbooks and prints to the US again. ✨ (There may be some slight delays initially as I'll have to double-check that everything admin-wise is working properly; your patience is appreciated!)

Thicker lineart & more color contrast on objects closer to the viewer, thinner lineart & less color contrast for objects further away in the distance ✍️

Hi, it’s #PortfolioDay ⛰️

I’m a French illustrator based in the Alps. I mostly do traditional artworks using gouache. My work is about botanical illustrations inspired by alpine flora and mountain landscapes.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

β€œI am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, β€˜What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, β€˜I'd rather die.’” 🫑
