Jonathan Kieran

The above illustrations—my own original work, wrought by my hand alone—offer yet another example of what an illustrator can still accomplish without the trendy, deplorable, and cynically spirited accusations of Artificial Intelligence being hurled these days by dull minds seeking attention for themselves via uninformed critical ramblings. This artwork, which will be employed for an upcoming project, began (as one can see) as a large layout atop my own desk and atop that same desk it became fully realized in color using a variety of hand-held, old-fashioned media. Arteeza pencils, theatrical grease pencils, acrylic paint, india ink, and pen-and-ink finishes.

So shove it, talentless fools who accuse proper illustrators of using AI. And I mean shove IT.
