I don’t know how to reach people without spending hours upon hours on social media (which is draining), and the advance of generative AI worries me. There’s little to no money from art and, while I put all my soul and heart in it, my energy (and health) are not infinite. I see other, bigger, known artists also struggling, while their work was used to train AI models without their consent. I keep asking myself: “What’s the point?” I don’t feel art and artists, cartoonists, illustrators are respected in our culture any more. Should I just give up?
