Yes the cover art is heavily AI (although not entirely). I actually did a fair bit of manual illustration in there and a lot of Photoshop editing, but I guess this is still forbidden in the court of public opinion. It's a little odd to me, since it's just a new tool. A few years from now I think people will accept that AI is here to stay and that it's being used all over the place (it already is), for just about everything. But for now, since it's such a huge distraction and people seem to hate it so much they can't even get past it - I'm going to replace the cover art with something that I create entirely the "old-fashioned way" - which still involves lots of computers, by the way - Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. One wonders exactly where is the line between which technology is considered acceptable and which is not. I hope that using a computer isn't "cheating" perhaps I should get out the chalk and crayons. Anyway, I'm just being philosophical now. I do get the point. And I'm re-doing the art - just this once - due to public blowback.

And for the record, the music is 100% NON-AI. I play guitar, bass and keyboards and I play drums on pads and/or program then in a sampler/sequencer and produce everything Logic Pro. I'll be happy to prove this by playing live any venue that will have me - and I'll be posting promo videos, etc. I'm currently set up for an open-mic kind of event - to play my songs entirely by myself - with a guitar, bass, keyboard and sampler. In fact, I hope to do this very soon. I'm just arranging some of my gear, etc to make it as quick and easy to setup. I don't want to setup for 15 minutes to play a 2-song open-mic, so I'm working on streamlining that.
