What is a Generative A.I. Artist?

  • A CONSISTENT ART DIRECTOR

    Generative A.I. art is great. However, it does come with limitations. The illustrations it creates are inconsistent. The images are fine for a once-off use. But brands and businesses have longer-term needs and a cohesive style to think about.

  • A SKILLED ILLUSTRATOR & VISUALIZER

    In my career, I have been a political cartoonist, a puppeteer, a data visualizer, and a street artist. But my foundational skill is illustration. Since 2006, Oddtoe has been around the block, working for such organizations such as National Geographic.  

  • AN INTEGRATOR

    The integration of generative A.I. art into content production is a massive challenge. How will one artist integrate generative AI into their workflows? How will the I.T. scale with different machine-learning algorithms

The Human Mind with Generative AI Riding in the Sidecar

I’ve been an illustrator for over 20 years. For better or for worse, generative AI is the impact that has hit professional illustration.
I’m choosing to use it and ride where my illustration style takes the next few years of work.

I have to say I am impressed — impressed with the impact it’s having on parts of an illustrator’s workflow: on ideation, world-building, and art direction, in particular.

This age of generative AI will evolve artists quickly. And new illustration “gods” will come from the disruption.

This technology has accelerated the scale of illustrations produced per year. — And it’s all “hockey stick” growth from here on out…

But notice this: how many illustrations on Midjourney have you seen in your favorite start-up’s branding? How about for your supermarket’s advertising?

Brands and businesses need to think about how they can create new imagery styles — and leave behind the gaudy era of business stock photography once and for all.

Illustrations are friendlier, anyway.  🙂

Questions & Answers

Generative AI Art

An artist who directs generative AI as a tool inside their own practice rather than treating whatever it produces as finished. At Oddtoe that is a hybrid workflow — AI image generation, graphic design and digital illustration used together.

A cartoonist who uses generative AI for character work and visual gags while keeping the writing, the timing and the final choice of image with the artist. The machine supplies options; the cartoonist decides which one is funny.

Consistency. Generative AI produces inconsistent illustrations — fine for a one-off, a real problem for a brand that needs a cohesive style across a campaign or a series. A professional supplies the art direction that holds the look together across dozens of images.

Illustration is the foundational skill, with a career that has taken in political cartooning, puppetry, data visualisation and street art. Oddtoe has worked since 2006 for organisations including National Geographic.

Generative AI is good at blunt fusion. By that, I mean it's good at jamming two ideas together. This technology – with a human taste-maker at the helm — will show us forms that we've never seen before. Fantastic.
