One of my unfinished sketches with color palette. Text: ai art is lazy, uninspired, and it all looks the same. Just fyi if you use the human plagiarism machine I donβt respect you as a creator.
Seeing a big influx on Insta of βchildrenβs book illustratorsβ following me. Their profiles of full of clearly AI-generated, generic, smiling, dead-eyed children.
Imagine a newsletter subscription that includes also a yearly book. Something you could lick (not sure it'll taste good though, but you could!). A nicely printed object, fully made in Japan.

LNY screen printing 21st Feb, Mimo Brighton."
