THE TRUMAN SHOW: BUT IT'S '26. did you get that? in essence? paul anthony kelly's your stand-in for jim carrey here, as you might've noted as the primary differentiator.

anyway, that kind of energy in the base graphic here is my goal, the sort of energy i'm looking to capture as i rework the advertisements for an original-character based creative writing group i've had running since around 4 - 5 years back! we have a new year to celebrate soon, so i figured we ought to shake things up as for our promotional graphics.

themes we look to dial in on include mass surveillance, impacts of online fandom culture on those who all the rumors center around, how long secrets can remain locked down, AI's trickling into just about all artistic avenues you can name, how industry professionals choose to cope, & what equal & opposite reactions can do to the credibility or status of both 'nobodies' that most only know if they love researching the art they consume & those known to the general public.

thoughts? feelings? what catches your eye first?
