I've recently come onboard at Baked to help @nickbakeddesign and the team out and I can confirm it's very fun.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who loves what they do and wants to get stuck in.

TIME: 46hrs 23mins 40secs
First & last one of the year done, an A1 hand cut robin and mare portrait on 180gsm.
A lot more detail in this one than the last few but the idea is still the same, flipping how we usually see things on its head. The smaller it is or the further you are away from it, the more detailed it gets.
The shades of grey are an optical illusion as well, it’s just solid black & white but the further you are away, the more your eye blends the space together and fills in the gaps for you.
I’m going out on a limb here and say that for me anyway, Ai might have tipped over the point where it was fun and now it’s just all consuming and a bit shite.
There was a point there a while back where Ai could replace lorem ipsum with nice copy on a website design and we could generate our own images with Midjourney and honestly, that was enough. It was perfect.
It gave you completely freedom in a way us designers never had before. We all remember the hours spent trawling through stock image archives looking for the right image to use.
Now the goal seems to be to try and do as much as possible by doing as little as possible. Stealing people’s work and feeding it to Ai as a reference to rip off. It’s all a bit hollow and has left people incapable of seeing past the hunt for the “perfect one shot prompt”.
I think (and hope) the whole thing might follow the same trajectory as the resurgence in popularity of vinyl records which has been so welcome to see.
At the end of the day, people appreciate the craft and soul of something.
Have a look at @AlexAperios & @socoloffalex pages for example. They’ve surely implemented Ai into their workflows BUT, it hasn’t replaced their process, they both still focus so heavily on the craft of what they design and that will always win out in my eyes.
Hopefully I’m right about what’s to come. I’m mostly just writing this so I can refer back to it in a year and see where the world is at.
Now a change of pace to something a lot more analog. Coming in at 53hrs 59mins 12secs makes this the most detailed one yet.
Despite being a Meath man, it was an honour to be asked to do this one for Conor.
A1 all hand cut on 180gsm.
A well needed reminder that in an industry awash with a lot of Ai shite, originality will always shine through. 10/10 to all involved @FutureBrand
After a long hiatus, we are back with the weekly bookmark trawl. Every Monday I look back through my bookmarks and pick one piece of work that will set the tone for a good week ahead.
We've all seen this by now and I think the vast majority will agree its nothing short of perfection.
