There are simply more options

If AI makes some artists turn to generating art rather than painting it…

We don’t lose art.

We gain two types of art.

Personally, I want nothing to do with the generated side. And until original artists get paid for their materials to be used as source material, I’m convinced it’s unethical and unlawful.

But we don’t lose art.

There is a market for generated works.

And there is a market for less ‘efficient’ human works.

There’s likely a market for AI-generated storyboard artists and background painters, for instance.

And yet I, and my team, continue to do those very things by hand, sweating into every frame of production.

And those who appreciate our work, appreciate the connection with real hands, who worked hard on it, got paid well, and are able to do what they do thanks to people like you who support the whole thing.

We lose nothing.

There are simply more options.
