Willy Fleckhaus & Twen

Twen was a magazine for the first generation of postwar teens and young adults. It was a wild conglomeration of the controversial ideas and blooming freedoms of the 1950s.

Twen was stunning, groundbreaking, sometimes shocking and definitely something that had never been seen before.

How to Know When to Use AI

In my circles, AI is either everything or it is nothing. It is the thing to use in every case because if we don’t someone else will or it is the thing to never use because it is a sin against humanity. Capitalists and artists have almost always disagreed. AI is like a compass sitting between them.
