He saw my matching glasses and said we should switch

I’ve been meaning to draw a few of these guys for a longgg time!! (My number one song last year was by Pete Shelley and I’ve never even drawn him before :(

And of course I cannot seem to do a single drawing without including something Devo related !

Sparks have mentioned today that the designer of their new live album was Julie Vlasak after a lot of pressure from fans.

I don’t think it was her explicit intention to use ai, but upon reverse image searching the astronauts featured on the album cover, it’s very easy to find near-identical stock photos and stickers online that are made with ai.

I can understand that not everybody is able to identify gen AI at a glance, but these are very clearly labelled. Yes, I am disappointed, but I overall believe in her talents as an artist. I don’t know if I would exactly call it fair to devalue her work, either; the album cover has been seemingly made through photo manipulation —using AI stock photos in her efforts or otherwise.

I would like to see the band address this in some way, but I don’t think they’re willingly using AI to make this cover. I dont think its fair to denounce them or decide that they’ve suddenly chosen to start supporting AI with the release of this album, and I definitely don’t think it’s fair to accuse them of being “secretive.” this album is still a very new announcement.

Bugsonas!!

So apparently during "Beat the Clock" they lost power and didn't have any amplification. (Russell's microphone still worked, apparently?) The band stayed on the riser, but Ron decided to go have a sit-down.
