A digital illustration by the artist hazelbud. It shows a man wearing a red dress, leaning back mid dance, with a happy smile on his face. One of his hands rests on his chest, whilst the other is lifted up in the air, pointing upwards. Surrounding the illustration is a black frame, with a glowing border and glowing stars, and top surgery scars positioned at the top. His pointing hand sticks over the frame, and half of his dress covers over the top of the frame too. Behind him are frames on a wall, warped to a curved perspective that curves towards him. The illustration is not finished, the frames are all empty and the man is not fully rendered. His face is the most detailed part of the drawing, showing a moustache, goatie, short curly hair and dark eyelashes closed in a smile.

A drawing made with colour pencils. It shows three characters, a brown rabbit, a ginger cat and a yellow dog stargazing. Above them is a multicoloured sky with shooting stars, lit in blues,greens,purples,yellows and pinks. The three characters sit on a dark green hill, and all three of them have a white and orange glow to them. The middle cat looks up in awe at the shooting stars, to the left the rabbit holds their hands to their face and closes their eyes happily, and to the right the puppy sits facing the side with a teary angry eye.

Gift for a friend :) Memory of us watching shooting stars (and one of us missing every single one)

Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "weโ€™re doubling down on an AI-forward approach โ€“ prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. 

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

On a red and black background is a book cover and at the bottom it says coming march 22. 
The book cover is for Awaken, My Love, written by Marat Earendel, an mm gothic romance novel, is at the center. 
The illustrated cover shows a brown vampire with red eyes and shoulder-length wavy black hair wearing antique black and white clothing while looking toward the viewer. He is holding a man in his hands. The man is pale with long beige hair, wearing white and cream colored clothing. He is in profile, looking up and gripping the vampire's shirt. There are split open pomegranates threaded through the burgundy title of the novel.
In the background is a broken gothic window, and at the bottom are chains. The cover is in shades of reds, browns, mauves, and blacks.
