if you would like to steal what i used in my email to paste into an email addressing the same issue (check the alt text to copy paste)
Regarding the design, artists really struggle with receiving AI mockups. It can be very hard to be creative when the AI has pre-emptively "filled in the blanks", removing the opportunity for the artist to imagine an original solution, and creating an expectation with the client of what the output should look like before the creative process begins. This isn't meant to be rude, but I need to understand your expectation for the final output and how closely it should match the AI. I personally won't design anything that remotely approaches copying an AI output, so if you're hoping for a close reproduction of what you've sent through, I'm afraid I can't help there. What I can do is create an original design that brings human and artistic originality and flair to the project! I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, it's just a difficult topic that a lot of creatives are currently trying to figure out how to discuss with clients.

I created an apparel design for @elttam.bsky.social's 2026 tees/merch, and it came out pretty sick. I love doing hacker art, and I once again broke my "i don't draw people" rule. Also, somehow managed to draw something resembling a tesseract which is crazy. Anywho, lots of easter eggs in there :)

Here are close ups of the tee, in an incredible moment of personal growth, i made it "charcoal" instead of "black", so it's actually a very dark grey. Highly recommend snooping the details as it's packed with silly vibes.
