Hello everybody, welcome to Three Point Perspective, the podcast about illustration, how to do it,

how to make a living at it, and how to make an impact in the world with your art.

I'm Jake Parker.

I'm Lee White.

And I'm David Hohn.

All right, let's jump into it.

Today we are talking about, obviously, the impact of AI on illustration

artist careers. And I recently posted an Instagram story, which stays up for 24 hours. And what it was

is I did this little piece of paper where I folded up because you got to do stuff to get people's attention these days.

You know, not everybody will just listen to everything that you say.

So I put this little piece of paper up and it says, are you an artist who has lost your job to AI? And then the

sheet folds up. And it says, I'd like to hear your story. And then it folds down. It says,

reply here or email me. Here's my email address. And then I'm like, it's going to be, we're going to

talk about it on the podcast. And then it says, what did it say there? To bring awareness and to maybe come up with some solutions.

So I had a couple people say, yeah, that was really creative. It actually got me like stopping and looking at what you're doing.

So if you ever want to get people's attention, don't just like have your, like you could, you can have your face up there,

but people are so used to that. You have to do like something interesting, like open up an envelope

and pull something out. Like, have this little bit of mystery happening and, and also that people

want to see to the end. Like, what's, where's this, so I asked that, and the results were eye-opening, okay?

So here's the response.

I got, it only pretty much went to my followers,

not to, that story didn't go out to anybody else, really.
