Goodbye Sam

Added 2023-01-26 23:01:39 +0000 UTC

So that's it folks: I've just been notified to remove my Samsung virtual assistant fanart from my networks. I imagine this will hit Gumroad soon, but I saved Samsung the trouble and already deleted the pack myself.

It's sad that things like this happen because, in my understanding, the art that all of us illustrators create works as an advertisement for the Korean company, but I also understand that the topics we discuss with Sam may not correspond to the company's moral policies.

Everything is fine. It makes me sad that I put my heart into the illustrations. As if I had drawn someone who really existed. Deep down, it was nothing more than a simple mascot for a technology company.

I can't help thinking that a character gains life and identification with people when she manages to leave the institutional field of action and gains the sympathy of consumers who become FANS of the character. Right now it's like she came to life.

Let's go ahead. The show can not stop.

P.S.: The pack has been deleted from Gumroad, but it is available for download on the Telegram channel RIGHT NOW.
