Art and Teamwork A bit of rambling, as many people see it as an amazing argument that with AI, you can make a huge project as a single person, or super small team. But I feel with many of my favourite media, the real strength comes out of several people working together

It's not a weakness, but a strength to have people from many fields come together. Whether they're experts or not. Especially since everyone can bring in unique perspectives - handling tastes and biases can be difficult, but will enrich any project with new facets and knowledge

Even as an illustrator where I can work a lot on my own, most of my best artwork had input from outside. Feedback from teachers and peers, friends helping taking references, coworkers brainstorming with me. Even ADs choosing great descriptions has a direct impact.

And that is not even starting on the immense beauty that comes out of teams doing your favourite movies, music, comics and games. Any actor, musician, author etc. can only shine because the people around them helped create the spotlight.

It can be difficult to finance large teams, or manage a group of people all pulling into different directions for a while - but I would vastly prefer we work on solving these hurdles, then just cutting out the people. The people who are the heart of any creative endeavour.

I feel we should strive to strengthen our teamwork, our relationships, platforms and places to collaborate together. And I feel almost crazy to even talk about that, it seems far too obvious. But the capitalistic pressures definitely prefer the opposite direction.

I'm definitely happy to have people around me who help me overcome my shortcomings, give me new perspective to think about and potentially challenge me. And while other people keep on posting vile things onto the timeline, why not have a little ode to something this beautiful
