Thought on AI vs hiring artists
My people, when looking 2 make bks, posters, etc requiring art. If u use an AI program, understand that their owners have “stolen” individual art pieces & entire portfolios of working artists w/o compensation. We’re 4 ease & affordability, we just want to be paid for our labor. We are workers too.
If you’d like to hire artists for your project, think local. There may be art programs, workshops, or universities, artists meet ups, comic conventions, art fairs, etc in your city. If there are none, then search for artists by searching art challenges, social media, artist hub websites, etc.
Above all, hire a human to work with. You get the benefit of helping to give work to a working expert to do it. You bring a human mind, emotion, history, etc to the project, And often, the artists will bring their friends, family, resources, & community to the project. This helps the reach of the project!
