animators fuck me up. if you asked me to draw something it would take every ounce of my life to complete this task. if you then asked me to draw it again a little to the left I would die

So uh….some dude apparently recreated Adobe Photoshop feature-for-feature, for FREE, and it runs in your browser.
Anyway, fuck Adobe, and enjoy!

It’s taken me ever so long to be brave enough to make Ghibli art, because Ghibli is IT and I knew I couldn’t do it justice. Well, here we are! I hope I’m worthy!
Ever wondered how many layers I use? This one had 8 total:

AI models can seemingly do it all: generate songs, photos, stories, and pictures of what your dog would look like as a medieval monarch.
But all of that data and imagery is pulled from real humans — writers, artists, illustrators, photographers, and more — who have had their work compressed and funneled into the training minds of AI without compensation.
Kelly McKernan is one of those artists. In 2023, they discovered that Midjourney, an AI image generation tool, had used their unique artistic style to create over twelve thousand images.
“It was starting to look pretty accurate, a little infringe-y,” they told The New Yorker last year. “I can see my hand in this stuff, see how my work was analyzed and mixed up with some others’ to produce these images.”
For years, leading AI companies like Midjourney and OpenAI, have enjoyed seemingly unfettered regulation, but a landmark court case could change that.
On May 9, a California federal judge allowed ten artists to move forward with their allegations against Stability AI, Runway, DeviantArt, and Midjourney. This includes proceeding with discovery, which means the AI companies will be asked to turn over internal documents for review and allow witness examination.
Lawyer-turned-content-creator Nate Hake took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate the milestone, saying that “discovery could help open the floodgates.”
“This is absolutely huge because so far the legal playbook by the GenAI companies has been to hide what their models were trained on,” Hake explained...
“I’m so grateful for these women and our lawyers,” McKernan posted on X, above a picture of them embracing Ortiz and Andersen. “We’re making history together as the largest copyright lawsuit in history moves forward.” ...
The case is one of many AI copyright theft cases brought forward in the last year, but no other case has gotten this far into litigation.
“I think having us artist plaintiffs visible in court was important,” McKernan wrote. “We’re the human creators fighting a Goliath of exploitative tech.”
“There are REAL people suffering the consequences of unethically built generative AI. We demand accountability, artist protections, and regulation.”

To help myself edit and to test the potential of self publishing this one, I ordered a proper printed copy of my book. I am currently marking it up excessively with edits, but I just have to say that it was unexpectedly THRILLING to see my book like this. I wrote this! A book! Wow.
And I’m happy with how the black and white printing makes the illustrations look! More than satisfactory. Still hoping for a publisher for this one, but if not, I’ll be able to do it justice!

Hey folks!
Thanks for tolerating my constant book promotion the last month! It’s done now and behind us. I’m on to the next project.
Right now, I’m working on illustrating a book for a client, all of which is secret stuff. I’m also working on editing my chapter book, writing the sequel, and doing illustrations for the series! And lurking on the horizon is a new idea for a kids book about a frog that I’m probably going to foolishly start before finishing the 8 other project ideas I have.
And still doing an original gouache painting just for fun every month. Busy! Things are good. It’s hot here in the south. Ticks are the worst. Flowers are the best.
Hope you’re all well and warm! But not too warm.

My new book is available for preorder now through April 17th 2024!
All preorders come signed with two coloring pages! It’s only available on Etsy, because I’ve self published. After preorders it’ll only be in stock occasionally, so don’t wait if you want a copy.
This was a big labor of love and I am so excited to share it with you!!!

My April painting!
Four months into 2024, 4 new gouache illustrations! It feels good! This one was an absolute delight. It always goes so easy with a reference photo! There are 6 mushroom fellows hiding in this painting. And one pebble troll and one snail! Can you find them? 🐌

Hi!! Is your real name Lara Jean, or did you get it from Jenny's book?
My real name is Lara, and my mom’s name is Jeanette, goes by Jean. Lara Jean became my nickname in college in 2010 before the books/movies happened! When I was trying to name my business it just kinda seemed to fit.
So I had it first, but I don’t mind sharing 🥰

My March painting! I know we’re all done with snow here in the northern hemisphere, but I wanted to do some winter scenes for my next calendar. And this is the cozy kind of snow.
