Are illustrators doomed… or is this our time to shiiiiiine? [AI workshop replay]
The Good Ship Illustration
Intro
Helen, Katie and Tania introduce the AI workshop audio replay and explain available resources.
Here's the audio replay from our AI workshop last week. There are slides too - the full replay with slides is available to watch HERE (but it goes away today. We're putting the workshop inside Find Your Creative Voice: Fly Your Freak Flag.) There's a PDF handout to download there too. Go grab it before it disappears!

The audio isn't perfect, but neither are we 😅
🚢 In this episode we cover:
- Why brands are craving human-made work more than ever
- The weird, wonky human stuff AI can’t copy
- Copyright, licensing, and why clients still need real illustrators
- How your life experiences = your creative advantage
- Prompts to help you find your “brain treasure” ideas
- What you *can* control
