Popping into #portfolioday on behalf of art directors to say thank you for sharing your work. It makes our job easier. We appreciate you.
💙❤️

Also, FWIW, I made a starter pack of hiring art-, creative-, design-directors who actively use Bluesky.

FINALLY, Pinterest doing something about it. *trumpets of glory* 🥲🙏🏻🎺

On Pinterest, select gear icon (lower left), select Refine Your Reccomenations > GenAI interests, turn off all that crap.

I don't run through much AI slop on my searches but this is more than welcome.

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!
