Happy #portfolioday I'm Isaac, an American illustrator (and branding/packaging designer) now mostly based in Amsterdam. I specialize in landscapes and cityscapes but have done a range of work you can find on my website/instagram. A lot of illustration for packaging and board games in particular.

Remember back when Dribbble didn't suck? There used to be all kinds of fun group projects on there, including this one. This was from something some of Seattle's creative community was doing on Dribbble where every day a new person was posting some Halloween themed illustration. This was mine.

This was something I made way back when I was just getting into Procreate and I think it holds up pretty well even after some years. I was really on a tear with fall themed art at the time. #halloweenart #fallart #illustration

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Remember folks, you can absolutely berate organizations and companies into backing down if they’re scared enough that it means a real business impact. The more the merrier. Light em up.

The Society of Authors has withdrawn from the ill-conceived concession to the dark side that was the "ethical GenAI" charter because of the mass and vocal outrage of authors. Publishers need to be made afraid of this level of anger too.

It's looking like fall is here for better or worse. Love the colors, not so much the weather. I get through the gloom by working on personal projects. Think I'll redouble my efforts on my paintings. What sorta stuff are you gonna work on this fall/winter? #illustration #fall #art #spookyseason

Hearing that a few folk have been getting emails from a scammer pretending to be me. I’d never approach people like this, please ignore. Also, report it as a phishing scam if you can

I have never been on the verge of quitting writing, no matter how difficult the market was nor how many rejections I got. Honestly if there were no more publishing industry I would write for my friends, or for myself. I am a writer. I make stories with my brain. That's just how it is for me.

Who doesn't like light bulbs? Funny enough this illustration landed me a job some years back. The client thought it was funny and liked my sorta retro mid century inky illo style on it. #retroart #retroillustration #vintageart #illustration #art

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose

This was part of the same series as the fire escape. I had this idea to do a few window-focused screenprints but never went through with it. This has now been made into a risograph though. #kitty #catart #cityscape #illustration #retroillustration

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Loving throwing crazy colors over to of old black and white retro style illustrations. Here's a fake ad I made some years back. Love a good power tube! #retroad #retroillustration #vintageillustration #illustration #retroart
