Hi #PortfolioDay! I'm a Nigerian-Irish #Illustrator who LOVES colour and sparkles. I'm looking for an agent as I keep underselling my work when I work with big brands lol. I've worked with Guinness, Cadburys and Gill Books 🌟

With AI-generated art on the rise in mainstream industries like the music industry (see the new Linkin Park video below), today we’re asking:

what can we do to make sure artists and creatives don’t lose out to AI? And how are fellow creatives feeling about this?

@MagentaPrints @farouk_858 @whackochacko I think we all forget how important it is when we get busy!

[DesignOpp @DesignOpp]

Rest is a key part of the creative process!

Refreshing to hear Farouk Alao (@farouk_858) talking with Ashwin (@whackochacko) about how important it is to take some time out to avoid creative burnout.
