Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.

"I can't afford a visual artist"

So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?

Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

The council will see you now.

Painted Cujo yesterday because I hadn’t painted anything Halloweeny this season. Gouache on watercolor paper. #painting #gouache #art
