A new studio diary (the so-called "Introvert's Art Diary") is published every Wednesday. Join us and don't miss a single one.
You will learn more about the behind-the-scenes of our work. And yes, we write it only because we enjoy it - and it makes sense to us. We only use AI for " boring stuff " - we don't want to voluntarily deprive ourselves of the magic and hardships of real writing from the heart :).
