I have been talking to a LOT of people trying to break into indie comics that do not understand how our market works. To make a living on the normal royalties of 10% of cover on a 20 dollar book you need to sell 20k copies a year to make 40k. If you sell 2k copies you did a good job.

THIS. I suffer from CHRONIC migraines . And I rely on my COMMUNITY & PATRONS on those times. I don't fucking steal . I rest and WORK MY ASS OFF. You think the folks who are ill or disabled are lazy? They work 3x as hard!

Monet's Waterlillies as his eyesight failed him. In 1923, he had surgery that caused his perception of color and light to change. He continued to paint despite this. We were gifted with his perspective that we'd otherwise be unable to see. AI art cannot replace a real artist. #NoAI

This idea that AI makes art more “accessible” obfuscates and ignores the fact that art has long been a tool of expression for disabled and marginalized persons for which community, connection, and income have otherwise been inaccessible. Art has never been inaccessible. Art creates accessibility.

I didn't have much natural artistic talent. It would take years of dedication for my art to get to an acceptable quality - years of work I have no desire to put in. That's why I made art accessible by paying human artists to do it for me.

Sarah Biffin was born in the late 1700s without arms or legs but she painted with a brush pinned to her shoulder. She was successful, celebrated, and even became a teacher.

One argument I've heard is that like "a human is still coming up with ideas, and AI brings your ideas to life!" the "Ideas" phase is only ONE phase of the artistic process. All of the choices you make when creating are meaningful! an idea isn't what makes it art, your choices make it art.
