print magazine readership and revenue has been on a steady decline for decades. granted it will be a long time before, say, the new yorker starts doing AI illustrations. for everyone else, the future is already here.
young artists will not be able to follow in your footsteps. the connections are not going to be there. the contracts are not going to be there. good for you that youre successful, but the world that made you is dead now. maybe people are mad because youre dancing on top of a ladder that's being pulled up, and youre saying the people left behind are getting left behind because they wont "diversify."
like the dying print mags are gonna start commissioning statues now that illustration is so easy?!
