if you're wondering why people are frustrated at this "malfoid", ie the character "malfoy" from harry potter plus "foid", the far right incel term for women, is a dog whistle character cooked up on 4chan to poke fun at trans people and their allies who vehemently reject jk rowling and harry potter

Department of Education posting Malfoid art btw. I’m losing my mind man.

Outside is pretty great right now.

This takes me back. There was always a handful of folks scrambling to get the correct number an hour before class.

Told my students that they have a sketchbook check-in next week and that if the haven’t been keeping up with it, they run the risk of experiencing one of my disappointed looks which are *devastating* 😔

Today, I left the doctor with a broken heart: Elias is getting worse. I swear, there is no improvement. On my knees, I beg you: please help me raise €300 for his eye drops. Imagine your child losing his last light. Please,don't abandon my son. 💔 Verified by : molly shah✅ chuffed.org/project/196611

a movie in which Jennifer Coolidge and Miss Piggy are competing to play Mae West in a biopic but at no point does it acknowledge that Miss Piggy is a muppet

This speaks volumes. As young graphic design student, I used to hate on Pen & Pixel’s work. What I didn’t realize in my youthful exuberance was that they created a unique visual language. Gaudy and excessive? Sure. That was the goal. And they delivered! And now people REMEMBER what they did.

Truly creative people have other creative people around them. This has been true throughout hip-hop history. So this lazy defaulting by many of today's rappers and producers to AI slop art defies the natural order. Nobody will remember your AI album cover the way they do Pen & Pixel shit.

Thank you, Gary. This is a must-read for aspiring rap folks in this day and age.

How is it that so many of these independent rappers & producers hitting me up--for coverage, playlisting, anything--don't seem to have a single graphic designer in their life? The AI slop thumbnail on the song, the "visualizer," all that? I see that before a note of music. And then I don't listen.
