I've been disheartened recently by the whole how to 'compete' with AI art (especially after doing some market research on Etsy and finding the majority being AI). I'll have to look for that book. I've come up with a similar approach of embracing slowness and human made, and I'm glad to find others who feel the n same way. I'll have to check out the book.
yeah of course! I live in the Bay Area, which I often refer to as the belly of the ai beast and honestly, I have never heard a single argument for the way the tech is being used, run, or kept online that is anything but colonization disguised as “innovation.”
lucky for us human artists, we have so much power in what we do with our hands and through the human made. the more we root into pleasure and slowness, the more we can set ourselves apart from the grifters grifting.
plus, the general public seems to be catching on to the bad taste of the sloperators!
Ah handmade graphics look so much better in contrast to a lot of what's being cranked out at the moment... And it's very cool to see your journey with making, and my heart leapt a little because my copy of Syllabus literally arrived in the post this morning.
ahhh thank you so much! i really had to ask myself, how can i be the opposite of the ai hype bros, and here we are hehe.
I appreciate you reading, and the kind words. you are absolutely going to love syllabus! get ready to be super stoked to draw with crayons, eat candy, and fill cheap lined paper with giant X’s like a pirate!
