Author friends,

AI is everywhere. It used to be we could avoid it by simply not using AI specific programs, but now it is inegrated into Photoshop, the gold standard for design.

After some research, I am learning what tools to discontinue using to avoid any work being tagged with metadata from Photoshop as "made with AI"

Simple tools that would extand a photograph just to meet a certain size or to remove an area or object in a picture

Adobe never warned designers that using some tools in their app would cause work to be tagged at "AI generated". I sincerely apologize if any work I have done results in this tag. This is still new territory and like navigating a minefield

I just want assure my authors and clients that I will from today forward be a guaranteed AI Free designer, I will avoid any auto generated content and guarantee all work is done meticulously by hand using only my photographs, client submitted photographs (which are the clients responsibility to guarantee AI Free), or properly licensed AI free stock photographs

No longer accpeting book cover design projects for new clients

(This does not affect existing clients)

Will offer premade covers only

Thanks so much!

Love fonts?

Sometimes it's easy to forget that fonts are copyrighted artwork that ends up on unauthorized sites

Here is a great article from Makers Type on how to get great fonts and support the amazing artists that make them while discouraging art theft!

Ok, I admit! I am not the best at working social media, being a total introvert!

I am just sad to see a business I love doing so much just slowly die because Social Media caters to hyper spamming/big money spending clients. They design the algorithms to bury you and force you to pay to reach your followers

I know this won't reach even a fraction of the people who follow me, but I would love to share more art and great Sales, but I need help. It won't cost a penny! (well, your time is priceless, so maybe not so true!)

If you could take a moment and like and share something I have done that you like, or that you think someone else may like, It could really give me a boost and I could continue to create this art I love so much!

Thank you to anyone who takes even just a moment to help boost Blue Sky even just a little!
