Reflections on the Impact of AI on the Art World: Challenges and Opportunities
Around the turn of the millennium, as personal computers developed the capability to run more advanced programs, the art and illustration markets experienced a revolution. Programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint suddenly enabled artists to create images at an unprecedented speed and scale. However, the impact of these technological breakthroughs also brought new challenges. The influx of new artists and the speed of production led to increased competition and decreased pay across much of the illustration industry. Artists were forced to adapt to new mediums and expectations.
Fast forward to today, and the art world is once again being shaken by digital technology, this time with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation of art. With AI art generators, anyone can now create art with just a few words. This technology has ignited a deluge of new debates and controversies regarding the nature of art and originality.

This way of thinking, known as polarized thinking, can have damaging consequences for both individuals and society as a whole.

New Art: Angelic and Kira
I'm continuing to practice using different brushes in Photoshop to achieve a more traditional, perhaps painterly, appearance in my digital artwork. Here are two new drawings.
Selected prints are available at INPRNT. INPRNT produces gallery quality art prints. It's a fantastic way to collect high quality art while supporting independent artists.
