Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

My piece the second edition of Sing O Muse Zine is today’s @classicstober.bsky.social prompt - the Moirai - the Fates

More detailed than my usual style, and with a cool-toned colour palette to fit the tone of the zine.

Well, I made it in honour of my patron goddess, and it will be woven in her name, so… it’s up to her to decide if she approves the gift 🤞

As a fellow dycalculic, I suggest writing the numbers down as you choose them (and don’t get confused by the pages also being numbered!) I say this as both the author and someone who’s done both while test reading!

When they said 'epic,' they clearly weren't just talking about the plot - they meant the gravitational pull of the physical object! 😵‍💫
My bookshelf may be panicking, but I'm ecstatic! Time to start some strength training for this absolute unit of a book #YouAreOdysseus 🏹

💙📚

It's an immersive experience; the weight of the book alone makes you feel like you've been on a 10-year voyage 😅

A hand holding the cover of the blue and red book, 'You Are Odysseus' by Homer/ L. Jenkinson-Brown. The cover features graphic design elements related to Greek mythology, including a ship, an eye, a siren, an owl, a winged boot, a lightning bolt, and a bow and arrow.

My bookshelf will be leaning slightly to the left! When they said 'epic,' they really weren't just talking about the plot!

Another 2022 oldie from me (though most of you won’t have seen it!) originally for the prompt ‘coin’. 🥁
(He really should look under his tongue.)

Hopefully getting some time in the week to draw some new things for the rest of this year’s prompts, rather than just doing ClassicsTober repost admin.

#ClassicsTober #ClassicsTober25 4: SHROUD

Chron the Ferryman is in his boat in the underworld, looking impatient, with impatient souls standing near him. A soul on the shore is frantically playing with his shroud, looking for his coin for the fare. He says ‘why don’t these shrouds have *pockets*?’

Oh lovely! I’m so glad you like it!

Greek Myth Comix @greekmythcomix.bsky.social · 9d

Thank you for letting me know! I haven’t had any customs duties added (in UK), and no one who bought any last year reported any either! (This must be something they’ve added to get round myriad tariffs elsewhere, I reckon)

Ooooohhhhhh! Childhood audiobooks are so damn formative! I still can’t read The Hobbit without hearing Nicol Williamson’s Gollum voice!

I’d forgotten about this illustration I made of the Graiai for ClassicsTober ‘21 (prompt: ‘3’) I’ve reworked it because I love it. Mostly Graiai are described as old hags, but Aeschylus describes them as swan-like, like Sirens, which seems fitting as personifications as the white foam of the sea.

Persis (Περσις, “Destroyer”)
