It's a great time!

Love this comparison π
Promoting any kind of creativity using genAI text or imagery is like promoting healthy eating with photos of plastic fruit and veg.
Iβve seen lots of posts promoting the National Year of Reading which is brilliant!
Not so brilliant is that there are some using AI-generated imagery which is disheartening.
Illustrations are really important when it comes to children wanting to pick up books. Letβs keep the industry thriving!
Thank you for sharing!

The true Hogwarts Legacy is 70k pounds donated to the people who took the legal definition of 'woman' to the UK supreme court and got a ruling that excluded trans women.
You can't 'separate the artist from the art' when the proceeds of the art are used to attack trans people.
Yes, because we shouldnβt ever progress as a society should we?
The UK Supreme Court really thinks it's done something. Trans people aren't going anywhere no matter how many courts they buy out. This ruling will be a shameful mark on the UK for decades to come and is the real legacy of JK Rowling.
I was a huge fan of HP growing up, and into adulthood. That is passed, that is purged. I will not line the pockets of hateful people who do harm to vulnerable communities. I stand with the trans community and am deeply saddened by todayβs ruling. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. π³οΈββ§οΈ

Hello π
Itβs been a while since Iβve posted here. Iβve been very busy working on several projects. Iβve just finished the 4th book in a series Iβve been working on for about 3 years, so Iβm taking a minute to catch my breath a bit.
Back soon with some new work!
YIPPEE!! So proud to see Reggie Rabbit by me, @beckamoor.bsky.social and @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social on this incredible longlist. Hugest congratulations to all the awesome authors and illustrators on the list and thank you @alligatorsmouth.bsky.social π°ππ₯

8 February 2025 Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez Christieβs, New York Dear Nicole and Sebastian, We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christieβs. Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them. Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companiesβ mass theft of human artistsβ work. We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction. Yours sincerely, The undersigned artists
π΄CALLING ALL ARTISTSπ΄
Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.
If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.
