Yes. All this and... anytime you use your hand to make a mark on a surface you own the copyright to that image. 4 years ago I started putting my writing out into the world. For 40 years I've been a full time, freelance narrative painter & designer, so am fortunate to have thousands of original images in iPhoto. I will always choose to read an article illustrated with a clumsy, author drawn cartoon before 1) a same old Unsplash or 2) AI. 1 shows a lack of imagination. 2 is generated by software that has scraped, plagiarized & stolen the original works of countess artists. What Shreya said. Make your own marks everyone!

Seeking sunnier landscapes I'm leaving Woodstock NY for Tucson where I'll teach painting & finish a scifi novel. Images are my originals. Links at mernie.com
