I’m not an illustrator but sometimes play around for fun, so couldn’t resist jumping on board the trend to counter the AI-generated action figures people are sharing of themselves - here’s my 100% human-generated Author Traci, complete with dog, cup of hot tea, wildflower hill to hike, and laptop. 😍
Thank you @kwelijournal.bsky.social ❤️
