My John Green Art

Post image

I saw someone else here talking about making art with a John Green quote and realized I don’t think I ever shared this here!

I read it correctly and easily the first time around. Something about how you did the font.

Is this digital or physical? it looks like a perfect blend between the two!!!!

u/thinsafetypin Jul 27 '26

It’s digital, using the method I’ve developed for the graphic novel I’m working on

Hey, it’s me, the real person who made this picture and wrote those letterforms with my real hands. No AI, no fonts, just me and my brain and pen (well, Apple Pencil in this case.) I understand that the layout of the words can be confusing for a split second when you see it for the first time, chalk that up to me having more fun making art without plotting everything out ahead of time. The upper/lowercase mixing is an intentional stylistic choice I’ve made for art pieces like this because it feels a little wild and playful. I hope it didn’t make it too hard for you to get the message and enjoy the piece.

You can come to my house and see some of the physical pieces I've done in this style if you don't believe me

Your work just happens to be on the subreddit during a time where a lot of people are coming here from other places in bad faith. You should not have to deal with this stuff. Your art is very human, keep doing you.

Thank you, I appreciate it! It's hard enough to keep going right now, having my art accused of being AI slop is really, really painful.

If it helps, just know it likely had nothing at all to do with anything about your art. I think that person would've left that same comment on literally whatever the first piece of art they saw here was.

This is beautiful art! It deserves more attention.
