I'm an illustrator who lives in Margate in the UK. Art inspired by vintage printmaking, ancient history and hauntology type stuff. I use a mix of hand drawn ink and digital colour.

I made a simple symbol to show that something was made without AI. Yes to human creativity, no to generative AI. You can get the image files at notoai.xyz

Hallein Salzwelt

Just had a literary festival try to assuage my concerns about their workshop with a “decolonially trained AI” by assuring me the AI isn’t getting paid for their session, as if my concern was grounded in the pay scale for the robots

So many want to bypass the actual process in order to get the acclaim of being an artist. The acclaim of being a filmmaker. Get the accolades & praise but don’t want to have to actually think and create from scratch. That’s why you’re so keen on AI. You want praise for the art but not to do the art.
