If you are trying to get the new Adobe Illustrator Beta hooked up to Claude desktop via Illustrator's (beta) MCP support, you need to manually add the entry to the claude_desktop_config.json file in the mcpServers section.

You can get your auth key for Illustrator in Settings > MCP & Tools (Beta). (I've asked the team to update the help docs).

(This was tested on Mac).

I put together a simple macOS app for tracking HF band conditions for amateur radio. You can grab the app, as well as the source, from GitHub. https://t.co/ox4hPsxynY

#UnitedStates: The case of Christa Pike lays bare multiple reasons why the death penalty should be abolished. The prolonged suffering – physical and mental – arising from multiple failed execution attempts is abhorrent, and cruel. And there are key fair trial questions still unresolved.

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk calls on the state authorities not to pursue any further attempt to execute Pike.

We are also troubled by the increase in the number of executions in the United States.

The death penalty has no place in any society.

I talked to a coffee shop owner in Buffalo who was getting destroyed on Instagram after showing a photo of a fall menu poster she made with ChatGPT. One person with a big local following was DMing her and threatening to post about it she woudln't agree to hire an artist to redo it. But it turned out it was more complicated that her skipping out on hiring someone: she told me she's never hired anyone to make their chalkboard menu signs - either she did posters herself with photos and Canva or a staffer did in chalk. The AI menu was just her trying to reduce her own workload (she has a newborn and wanted to save time) https://t.co/qC8OGcmmPQ

Original concept art alongside the final Beyond Light teaser art I work on in 2020.

Beyond Light was an especially memorable project to be part of. It was our first @DestinyTheGame expansion developed during COVID, with the team working remotely, which brought a unique set of challenges. Even so, it remains one of my favorite expansions to have worked on, and this teaser art is still one of the pieces I'm most proud of.

Tonally, we were inspired by some of @sungchoiart early Europa concept work, particularly a concept of a Guardian at a campsite looking out toward the Pyramid. We wanted to capture the feeling of embarking on a solitary journey to a new moon and discovering the Darkness subclass Stasis for the first time.

I used this key art as an opportunity to focus heavily on the environmental rendering, making sure the frozen, icy landscape came through as a defining element. The final foreground was built using a combination of bespoke 3D modeling in Maya and advanced displacement maps in KeyShot, using textures from Quixel Megascans. The Pyramid ship and skybox in the background began as in-game screenshots that I captured from @Bungie skybox artist Mark Goldsworthy, which I then painted over and exaggerated in Photoshop.

I assembled the final image and completed all post-processing and finishing work in Photoshop. At 38,000 x 15,000 pixels, 300 dpi, it was one of the largest files I've ever created, built with the expectation that it could ultimately be printed as a large-scale wall piece or art print.

@aarondfrancis Do you have a rough estimate of the cost? Any particular model seem suited for this?

I just pushed an update to my adb-mcp project (MCP clients for Adobe Apps). This works around a crash with Premiere Pro on Windows (related to websockets). If you have the plugin installed and are using Premiere Pro on Windows, make sure to update to the latest version.

(Note, the crash occured when the plugin tries to connect to the proxy server).

Just pushed an updated build to Ascendant, a Destiny 2 PVP dashboard for MacOS. Added support for Ash & Iron, Renegades, Monument of Triumph seasons, and fixed some API data issues with competitive matches.

I created the Adobe Illustrator Field Notes inside Firefly Boards.

Intended to act as a central hub to capture all those tips and tricks, info and resources for anyone working in Illustrator. You can search Google when you know exactly what you need to solve, but this might introduce you to something unexpected.
