Why would I want AI when I can have Beethoven or Shakespeare or van Gogh who have plumbed the depths of human experience and brought back transcendence? True art nourishes the spirit and opens one up to oneself and the world.
The 2026 Calarts Producers' Show Opening is a lovely tribute to art & animation (directed by Sofia Kondrasheva & Veda Lee).
Every year, Calarts school has a showcase where they select a handful of student films to be screened in a Hollywood theater.

In light of the Avatar leaks, I wanted to share a list of our visual development artists. There is so much amazing work we did on the film that we are not allowed to share right now, and it’s thanks to these people that the movie looks the way it does. Thread below ⬇️
La NASA reveló nuevas imágenes de la Luna donde se ven muchos más colores el típico gris que conocemos.
Lo curioso es que Naoko Takeuchi, mangaka de Sailor Moon, ha hecho muchas ilustraciones de la Luna con colores muy similares a la foto de la NASA.
Takeuchi una visionaria.
Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy was one of the few skeptics at the Runway AI Summit, where AI was compared to fire and the printing press just a week after Sora’s death. https://t.co/SmamdkCXJ3
Black lacquer screen with mother-of-pearl and turquoise inlay(luodian螺钿/raden), decorated with peacock motifs,Qing dynasty
清宫旧藏黑漆嵌螺钿松石孔雀图屏风
This screen was collected by the Qing imperial court, embodies a significant integration of Chinese and Japanese artistic traditions.
Its craftsmanship is distinguished by the combination of Japanese maki-e (蒔繪/まきえgold lacquer painting) and Chinese luodian螺钿art.
This composite technique emerged in Japan as a new development after Japanese artisans studied and adapted Chinese lacquer螺钿 technologies including gold tracing (miaojin描金) and luodian螺钿.
It not only preserves the core essence of traditional Chinese lacquer art but also incorporates distinctively Japanese aesthetic sensibilities in its detailed treatment and formal expression.

Apparently this is how many of you learn that a full cuirass' mid-section is protected with articulated lames which allows you to flex your spine.
This feature grants a lot of mobility.
Maggie Kang everybody…
