Kids deserve better than AI art.

Here’s a starter pack for picture book and young fiction book creators in the UK - please ask to be added 😄 go.bsky.app/Eopnbgm

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.
