Royal Mail celebrates 75 years of Peanuts
It was our youth’s psychological foundation. Highbrow animated entertainment for curious kids. And the main reason I’ve never been able to get rid of the Lucy moniker is that I was always the one giving uninvited counsel (typically from behind a make-believe lemonade stand). My inner kid jumped with joy when I learnt that Royal Mail would be releasing a set of commemorative stamps to honour Peanuts’ 75th anniversary.
Eight exquisite designs showcasing Charles M. Schulz’s well-known characters are included in the special edition, which was completely developed by Interabang. However, this time, there are some endearing British details included. Woodstock and Snoopy sit on a red postbox. At the beach, Lucy and Linus construct sandcastles. Franklin has a kickabout with Charlie Brown. In classic UK fashion, the entire group also enjoys tea and cake.

Asda’s talking baby is here
The idea is straightforward: a mother brings her infant son Gary along when she shops at Asda once a week. She whispers, “That’s good,” as she smoothly navigates the checkout, pleasantly surprised by the sum. To the wide-eyed astonishment of the cashier, Gary, who has a gravelly Yorkshire accent, delivers the campaign’s punchline with a well timed “That’s Asda Price.”

What I learned about surviving as a freelancer by watching the Lionesses
It’s important to state right away that I don’t like football. People like me, who get in and pay attention while the national team is performing well and then lose interest later, will be viewed as the worst kind of people by some. I respond, “Fair enough.”
Turning it around, however, reveals something amazing about what the England squad—also known as the Lionesses—achieved at the Women’s Euros this summer. Because I got not just involved but also enthusiastic about football for the first time since Gazza’s tears at the 1990 World Cup.

Samuel L. Jackson is now promoting… seaweed snacks? And yes, he still says ‘motherf*cking’
Samuel L. Jackson has faced off against Sith Lords, snakes on aeroplanes, and Tarantino scripts. Now, he’s facing off against wind farms and seaweed snacks.
Together with the European energy giant Vattenfall, the American actor is leading a new campaign that is changing the way we think about renewable energy. Jackson is in full force in this NORD DDB-produced film, which is endearing, profane, and deadly serious about preserving the earth.

Kayla Dantz’s woven photographs
Kayla Dantz’s photographs are unlike anything we have ever seen. Even while the artist’s work is informed by the nostalgic aspect of archival photographs and slides from family albums, her compositions seem to conceal an additional layer of melancholy, homesickness, or softness between their meticulously crafted lines.

These comic art techniques will help improve your game art
When I’m working on rapid concepts, like for video game or animation projects, I like to adopt a comic book inking and rendering technique. Although I use Photoshop, this technique is particularly effective when combined with any of the top digital art programs with a top-notch drawing tablet. It gives you the control and accuracy of conventional inking while being entirely digital.

Rembrandt, Vermeer, and now Hopper – how AI’s remakes are testing the soul of art
We were able to enter the diner, see the scene from various perspectives, and interact with the “lonely” coffee drinkers of Hopper’s late-night cafe thanks to the Genie AI model’s transformation of the static artwork into a virtual environment. The technical accomplishment is great, but it poses ethical concerns because AI frequently interprets classic artwork incorrectly.
