It's not all AI.

Growing up, I was often found drawing or painting the day away.

I've worked professionally as a photographer since 2010, and since that time, I have grown fairly proficient in Photoshop.

And then AI hit the scene.

The detail I most love about the Saga Modernai collection is that it was created using a combination of photography, hand illustration, and AI, all mixed together in Photoshop.

Each card's symbolism and details (ie, planetary & elemental glyphs) require this to be a multilayered, composite process.

Not just an AI prompt.

I'm not against AI, but I do feel like art is most satisfying for the artist and the observer if it comes from the soul. And I don't think AI can achieve that on its own.

It can take away from other artists by mimicking a style and not giving credit where credit is due.
