We tried to hire an artist this week for some works but it has been impossible to find one that doesn’t just send us slop from an AI image generator. We know because they are all anatomically incorrect, and it’s important because it’s for medical adjacent literature
ugh same. All I heard for decades is “hey you should pay artists” and “artists don’t make much money” and then as soon as I actually need a competent artist they’ve vanished off the planet.
Times when I or someone close to me have needed to hire artists, we’ve been able to find the right person for the job through professional networks. It’s sad to think that due to real artists struggling to find work, that many of these professional networks are liable to collapse, making it harder to find the remaining artists who are still working

Damn, that’s grim.
