There’s an amazing new AI trick that delivers superior results to anything else you’ve seen and it also happens to be radically simple to use. I used it to make my new profile pic, but the same methodology can easily be scaled to work for any size project. (1/X) Image
To get a comic-book style image without any telltale AI glitches, I just followed three simple steps:

1. I identified an artist whose style I wanted to replicate.
2. I took some selfies.
3. I grabbed my credit card and I *paid the artist* to actually draw a portrait.

You don’t need to download any software. Just pay the artists.

For them, the uncertainty is terrifying. (3/4)

THREAD: When one of my MAD Magazine articles (“The Ghastlygun Tinies”) went viral, some people were surprise that MAD published a satire (as opposed to parodies & puns.) But MAD had always done that.

Here are some of my favorite examples of when MAD “pulled no punches.” (1/X)
"The Militarization Of Officer Joe" was written in 2014 by Desmond Devlin and painted by Richard Williams in response the Ferguson protests. It stands on it's own, but it's even more powerful when you contrast it with the 1958 Norman Rockwell painting that it references. (2/X)
Following the presidential election in 1960, MAD Magazine was one of the first magazines to report that Kennedy won. How's they do it? The issue actually had Nixon on the front cover and Kennedy on the back. Newsstands were told to turn the appropriate side face up... (3/X)
