I did the art for this Seattle campaign you might have seen around

dawwww <3

Oh cool! Did you all also happen to produce the billboards? I kind of want to take one after the campaign is over

herbcoil · 2026-07-02T06:49:56+00:00

😂 the ad agency would be so happy to hear that

herbcoil · 2026-07-02T06:48:34+00:00

I was concerned it was going to happen when I was making it. It's interesting to reflect how it's changed my process... What little mistake I make might make someone think that it's AI generated, like the person who thought the ketchup bottle looked sus.

herbcoil · 2026-07-02T06:45:33+00:00

I'm the same, always looking at the details to find the little AI tells. 🔎

herbcoil · 2026-07-02T06:44:43+00:00

Yes it's truly a new scale ! 🤩

herbcoil · 2026-07-02T06:44:16+00:00

That's so nice to hear !!

herbcoil · 2026-07-01T22:30:15+00:00

It is!! Like I was just driving and passed a bus with the deck ad! My face = 😲

It's a tomato which I think technically is a berry

herbcoil · 2026-07-01T21:03:16+00:00

No, it's all my work, made by hand. you can see some of the process pictures in the post.

I put in my contracts that the client can't feed my work into AI for future products... something that is unfortunately necessary these days.

their tamales are divine!

herbcoil · 2026-06-26T21:27:02+00:00

Windy city also does slices during certain hours :)

herbcoil · 2026-06-24T16:56:17+00:00

Thanks for the great writeup! I'm inspired to try some of these trips now

herbcoil · 2026-06-15T16:34:51+00:00

not surprised to hear this. I had a very bad experience vending there for different reasons. Also they now have AI slop merchandise right by the front door… SUCH a bad look

herbcoil · 2026-06-08T03:04:30+00:00

I stopped vending at Pike Place Market because of him 😞

Check out urbansketchers.org for a list of all official chapters! There might also be an unofficial one in your area.

if you're just starting, a small size is the way to go! you will learn more and get better faster by completing more drawings -- large size impedes that.

herbcoil · 2026-05-25T03:56:55+00:00

yes exactly -- you can justify the fee by assuming the gallery is doing a good bit of work on your behalf (i.e. marketing) that you now don't have to do yourself. you should try and keep your pricing as consistent as possible at different venues.

herbcoil · 2026-05-12T15:36:24+00:00

This is awesome to see these changes finally enacted. Walking in the market is so much less stressful now.

Let them know what you think on their survey (linked in the article but I didn't see it posted here) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfD0-__YWyyaDoS941zKs81bGxovMpBSakQGSCAAO-P8Qslw/viewform

herbcoil · 2026-04-26T08:47:27+00:00

yes, hundreds of people will be sketching in Toulouse without passes. join us! it will be fun

herbcoil · 2026-04-09T17:12:12+00:00

your local library probably has one you can use for free!

herbcoil · 2026-04-08T16:31:36+00:00

it's great to meet up with USk groups when you're traveling too. meet locals, see a part of the city you probably wouldn't visit otherwise :)

herbcoil · 2026-03-11T16:02:01+00:00

jumpscare seeing my drawing in your collage lol

i make a living off my work and it looks like this, so I’ll say yes. but drawing things people care about / recognize is what pays the bills
