An incredible person has started a movement to tell the stories of #US #scientists and #science experts who have been dismissed because of the #trump #madness over there at the moment

If you know scientists who have lost funding or jobs because of *certain decisions*, you should contact them! They are also looking for #volunteers ❤️❤️

www.linkedin.comSilenced Science Stories - Illustrated Features | Silenced Science StoriesWe are organizing an illustrated series of portraits and stories of dismissed federal scientists and other scientific experts whose work is being affected by federal budget cuts and mass firings. We are working with amazing science illustrators to create these features to communicate the careers and the important scientific research of federally employed and funded scientists. How to get involved: - If you are an illustrator / artist willing to volunteer, reach out or sign up on this sheet: https://lnkd.in/gXK4mfeC. Or email paigebjarreau@gmail.com - If you are a scientist or any other type of science expert recently terminated or affected by the current administration's actions, and are willing to be featured, reach out or fill out this form! https://lnkd.in/gbq7cmG6 - If you are willing to sponsor a science artist to do this, reach out! If you want to help fund an artist on this project, everything given to Paige Jarreau's “buy me a coffee” page will go to this! https://lnkd.in/gm-9KQtR We will be posting these stories via the @ScientistSelfies Instagram account, this LinkedIn page, and our Facebook page. #sciart #scicomm #art #illustrators #scientists #terminated #federalscience #firedfeds #sciencematters #standupforscience

I'm going to do something a lot of artists will hate (not that I care what other artist's think), I'm going to make a video about an #AI #workflow I developed for professional #artists and #illustrators. Or at least, for this artist. Yes I know, "boo, AI". And while I think, on its own, text to video is very limited, a trained artist can really make AI work. Real-time (or near real time) drawing in Krita with #krita-ai-diffusion is the closest thing to a magic paintbrush we are likely to see. I no longer pursue commercial work, but I regularly use digital methods for studies for my traditional painting. If you are an Illustrator, ignoring AI is a big mistake

if any #illustrators want a project, a really useful thing to have right now would be clear illustrations of the uniforms of different government agencies: ICE vs Border Patrol vs airport security vs TSA. maybe with a "doll" base that is modifiable for locals to modify for their local cops too.
