Robots Cannot
Dream For Us is a 6-page comic about
my views on AI-generated art and
the importance of loving the process.
As an artist, I’ve always had a strong,
knee-jerk reaction against the onset of
genAI in the creative industry, so I took
the chance to write a sober reflection
of why I dislike genAI, and in turn, what
making art truly means to me.
Inspired by editorial cartoons from publications like the New Yorker, this comic is traditionally illustrated and hand-lettered with dip pen and drawing ink, and is a love letter to the hand-drawn comics that formed an important part of my upbringing as an artist. This comic is ultimately a dedication to my love of human-made art and storytelling, and challenges the belief that technology can replace it.
