There’s a protest going around on social media apps who recently announced they are going to use artists’ content to train their AI.

Beth Spencer of @bethspencerart recently initiated a cool prompt to artists to draw in our style (#dtiys) our own badge to represent what “Made with human intelligence” means to each of us.

I filled up a page of thumbnail sketches in my sketchbook; a few I love, and some I don’t love.

I tried to think of things I love to draw and things that represented humanity and artists sketching and learning and practicing.

My two favorites are the sketchbook of butterfly drawings and the mountain landscape.

If you’ve read my blog for awhile you’ll notice that I prefer to do my illustrations with traditional mediums because I sit in front of a computer screen all day for my day job, so drawing with a pencil or paintbrush on an actual piece of paper feels good for my soul!
