@TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Designers, creatives, do better please. Respect the people who are your partners in visually communicating your carefully crafted branding concepts, and do much of the heavy-lifting.

I'm not sure if I should be flattered or not that @Glassdoor ripped off our brand at @careerpuck.

@TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Many of the comments in this thread are depressing and highlight such a disdain for the discipline and the craft and the fucking WORK that goes into developing a practice as an image-maker.

@TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Jay would be the first person to say that he has no claim on this particular illustration style, but he does have a clearly defined image-making approach & practice, which has been copied here along with the look/feel of the original (Puck) designs.

@TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Thousands of artists have used oil paint and brushes to create images, but that doesn’t mean all those images are the same thing, or cannot be copied.

@TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Yes, black and white line art is nothing new, and is not ‘owned’ by any particular artist. However there is a nuance, craft and integrity in each illustrator’s work, which marks it out as theirs, and theirs alone

@TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Anybody on this thread claiming this isn’t a rip-off is simply incorrect, and more importantly is undervaluing/completely ignoring the value of the illustrator in this scenario. Glassdoor initially approached Jay Cover to illustrate this - then used somebody else to do it cheaply

@NemetzStudio @TaliR @Glassdoor @careerpuck Yes they did

Mo-no-printing

I’ve made a new web portfolio that I’ll shortly be bothering lots of art directors with nicolasburrows.com Have a 👀 / pass on please if you’re interested in abstract colourful images, patterns and textures. Works a treat on textiles, record sleeves, packaging, walls etc 🌈

@LostMap You send the elephants. Then we’ll talk…

We did try to convince @nicolas_burrows to get a photo of him next to some elephants to accompany the single of 'Elephants'. But the best he could do was this (admittedly lovely) illustration.

@gralefrit 😂

I don’t work for the BBC so I'm free to say what I feel. The language used by Suella Braverman and Priti Patel, about refugees and migrants, is very similar to language used in Germany in the 1930s. It's a fact. RT if you agree.

@fieldmusicmusic Oh just fuck off Spotify. How could the royalty rates get ANY LOWER?!?

This is just an awful, awful idea.

Ah nice to be included in this - in very fine company. Cheers @a_deplume bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@carolinesa I reckon I’d go away for the weekend somewhere nice to pootle around

Next month I have a whole weekend to myself and I’m totally paralysed by choice. What do I want to do? It also happens to be my birthday that weekend.

Fell collaborator Hapexzm has an amazing new nightmarish audio-visual treat up on YouTube as of today. Go listen youtu.be/FgMvxoJxCA0

@DrewMillward Do it! I’m not sure if any are still there or if they’ve morphed into updated salons actually. It’s not that much different tho in general

@nicolas_burrows We were contemplating a day out in the ‘Pool to visit the locations.

If you’re short on entertainment for the evening, you should watch this 30 year old documentary about hair salons in Blackpool, because it’s absolutely incredible. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
