Plotting…kinda sorta

There is a story in my head, but the words won’t come, so I’ve been groping for them via a series of images. If, and when, the words finally do come, this is what the cover may look like:

I created the graphic with Corel Draw X8, using a combination of vector and bitmap images.

The two Tukti are made up of 38 bits and pieces snipped from whole images that I’ve then manipulated to create a composite image. The Six is a pure vector image made up of 15 pieces. Layers and transparencies help to create the illusion of depth.

In a way, I’m doing what graphical AI do…except that I only use royalty free and creative commons images. Some day very soon, the people behind the generative AI currently in use will get hit with either massive lawsuits – for breach of copyright – or criminal proceedings for what amounts to theft.

Unfortunately, lawmakers the world over have not yet caught on to the scale of the problem. But they will. Can’t come soon enough.

cheers,
