I'm at the @apatternof slow networking day and the bougie coffee "machine" is a hot topic of conversation...

A great day of co-working yesterday at @apatternof’s event alongside @designbykinship @jminnsdesign @TheLiveSketcher and a lovely wip by Rach of me in situ. How talented?! I love the N_J sticker captured.

This idea of DIY sustainability is so interesting - the dream is all well and good, but if there's a way to a solid career outside the 'industry' then everyone benefits...musicians and listeners. More on that in this interview with Tom in @apatternof: apatternof.com/features/tom-…
Interesting thread here, and a fair point well made. So do we think there any viable route for music makers to build a paying fanbase *outside* the clutches of the music industry - can anybody think of any examples? @Benefitstheband ? @eli1ah ?

An AI version of our piece with @wadds 👇
Pattern published a feature earlier in the week based on conversation about AI that I had a few months ago with @ArlenPettitt and @thisischrisjo. Today the creative duo published a version of the feature created by ChatGPT-4 and Midjourney. I'd encourage you to read the series. The results are equally surprising and terrifying. This is the future we face both in terms of the reputational impact to individuals and organisations, and the threat to creative and professional work. apatternof.com/go-see/stephe…
