Adrián (looking for work!) @trepolo.bsky.social · Jan 14

#PortfolioDay Hey!
Name's Adrián, I'm a freelance illustrator from Spain currently looking for work. Book/album covers, poster design, labels, TTRPG stuff, personal commissions, you name it! Looking for fun and weird projects to work on in 2025.

Links: bio.site/trepolo

Illustration depicting a vaguely celtic man perched over a cliff, observing a forested landscape. He has long hair and a mustache, wears fur boots and a short cloak, and is holding a spear.

Comic book panel of an EC comics syle zombie, text bubble on the corner reads "I may be dead, but you're still mine". Very yellow/green color palette.

Front and back covers for a nonexistent horror-themed vinyl record, the album "Tomb of Terrors" by Arletty & the Velvet Flies. Front cover depicts the title in a gothic font over an illustration of a skull surrounded by blue flowers, with a silhouetted manor on the back.

Woodcut-style illustration of a wolf-like creature with spotted fur and a long tail with a tuft of hair on the end.

Torn up hearing about the passing of Drew Struzan. He's had such an influence on my art and imagination since I was a kid. No one's ever done it better.

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Photo of a vintage illustrated book cover, a naked woman mourns her naked boyfriend(?) who is lying on the ground unconscious, presumably dead, as many skeletons loom over him victorious. An award with a review are featured at the top of the cover:

INTERNATIONAL PISS AWARD

Book title and copy read:

THE WOLF MAN - a wolf-shaped silver cane on a brown background, a pentagram glowing around it.

BLACK SUNDAY - The mask of Satan peering from the midnight blue.

THE INNOCENTS - Deborah Kerr wanders through the dark mansion, carrying a lit candelabra.

MESSIAH OF EVIL - a mysterious figure eerily looking through windowpanes.

What I love about all these celebs who are trying to save their reputation by playing ignorant is that this only works the quieter that lunatic JK is. You know, the person who just started dropping Hitler quotes to millions of people around the time their tired ass audiobook cast got announced.

Kiera Knightley sounds like a BlueSky moderator

Keira Knightley said that before joining the voice cast of Audible's "Harry Potter: The Full Cast Audio
Editions,
" she was "not aware" of the fan boycott
of all things "Harry Potter" over J.K. Rowling's statements about the transgender community:
"You know, I think we're all living in a period of time right now where we're all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren't we? And we've all got very different opinions. I hope that we can all find respect."

Rewatched THE FOG (1980) for the first time in years and I now think it’s a 10/10.

Incredible atmosphere and patience. Phenomenal use of a big cast, great pacing and really fantastic effects.

I can’t believe I used to think this was a lesser Carpenter.

As October begins, we contemplate how the sea wind had its way with this now-fungal saint.

scary sea-weathered saint on the church near Hartlepool headland (body of saint is heavily eroded down to a veined or boxwork-like underlying structure of the stone, which looks like weird branching fungus).

Old Art - The spirit of the monk whose body was found under the floorboards of the temple.

Drawing of a robed figure, whole body and face covered except for its hand, which carries a candle on a plate. The candle has a halo around it, made of orange runes. The figure itself has a crown of branches on its head. The air is dark and mystical.

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Gary Sherman’s Dead and Buried (1981) is an absolutely perfect little horror movie. Sort’ve a sleepy Re-Animator in Murder She Wrote’s Cabot Cove, a sweet spot between Messiah of Evil and The Fog just oozing with rural seaside evil and mood to fucking spare. Small town apocalypse at its best!

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.
