I'm Will Esbern, I've won creative non-fiction contests and earned honorable mentions for traditional non-fiction and fiction works at my alma mater. This is my breakout into self-publishing by combining creative non-fiction, poetry, and science fantasy into ethical copyright-free artificially intelligent image creation. I grew up reading fairy tales, fantasy, and science fiction while sneaking every manga and fanfiction imaginable into the house to read under the covers.
Support disabled artists using AI ethically. For more information see this post: If you don't think AI images are real art, just go away. The only thing art requires is an artist.
Also remember that some people still don't think using photoshop or photography is real art.

Remember: Criticism unsolicited is not constructive. Disabled Bodies are bodies.
"Both traditional art and digital art require specific skill sets, albeit different ones. While traditional art involves a mastery of techniques like manual brush strokes and color blending, digital art needs expert knowledge about how to use various software tools to create different effects. Some argue that technological tools facilitate painting to an extent that it becomes cheating. But if I, a complete amateur, were to try to draw something digitally with all the tools available, I’d still fail miserably. I simply wouldn’t have the necessary understanding of or familiarity with the medium. Traditional art and digital art just shouldn’t be compared. They belong to different categories and require different technical masteries."
I personally think this is a rising tides situation, where now that there is a flood of AI images, digital and traditional imagery are now even more valuable. Physical media is now even more sacred in the view of the establishment as it is a true NFT (minus scammers but again; Game of Thrones was the most pirated series of all time for a reason: We want what we do not have i.e. those with HBO).
It might seem I am shoving out images at an alarming rate, but I have been playing with AI for a long time, all day every day, and am just now uploading. The tsunami will eventually end, but thats when you go back to grinding. The circle of life.
Go watch Kiki's Delivery Service and it will make more sense.
Check out my book! A Salt Dazed Mo[u]rning. FREE reading if you have KINDLE UNLIMITED! There are over 40 copyright-free AI images in the book for your use as well as viewing pleasure. Along with poetic exercises and short stories it packs a punch for any reader.
"A Salt Dazed Mo[u]rning" is a collection of surrealist imagery, pop-sonnet poetics, and provocative short stories that capture the passages of frustrated melancholy - and perhaps the road out of it. This breakthrough in publishing is a fresh examination of the combination of Artificial Intelligence in designing imagery from human-composed poetry and short stories. It is now the first comprehensive collection of this attempt at poetics in open and copyright-free partnership with AI minds."
Download Access:
Images are offered in the highest available resolution through DeviantArt or third-party links. If you're having technical trouble downloading, please ask respectfully and check with DeviantArt’s help desk before assuming the issue is on my end.
About Exclusive Sales:
“Exclusive” refers to the listing on DeviantArt only. It means once it's sold here, I won’t resell or repost that version on this platform. It does not mean the buyer owns the image IP or that it will be removed from other platforms. If that’s what you’re looking for, you need a custom commission — not an instant-buy. This also does not cancel the creative commons license that applies to 95% to the work I post here. Also only around 5% of artists on DA use a Creative Commons license that allows you to change, edit, and sell the image as much as you want, as long as you list me as the original artist. That's it, it's that simple.
One Warning Policy:
I give everyone one fair warning. After that, if someone is rude, entitled, or disregards my clearly stated boundaries, they will be blocked — no exceptions. Download access will not be removed, but further interaction won’t be possible.

Fund a general strike to disrupt the machinery of systemic corruption, authoritarianism, exploitation, and cruelty — in both government and corporations.
This isn’t a protest.
This is a refusal to fuel their system with our labor.
This is the voice of millions saying:
"Without us, your empire starves."
A general strike doesn't make noise.
It silences society.
It halts the ports, empties the shelves, stops the wheels from turning —
and forces those in power to confront a system that cannot survive without the very people it exploits.
This is not symbolic.
This is not begging.
This is a peaceful, legal economic shutdown —
a severing of the lifelines they cannot replace.
Victory requires millions of us.
It demands months of preparation, and it will be built on the bones of real logistics:
Strike funds.
Childcare.
Food distribution.
Organizational unity that no empire can tear apart.
Workers must lock arms and declare:
"We are the engine.
You will meet our demands.
Or we will let your empire rust."
We must aim for achievable goals — stepping stones that keep people believing, participating, winning.
We build it one voice, one action, one act of refusal at a time.
Every contribution matters. Every hand matters. Every breath matters.
You have more power than they ever wanted you to know.
And where I live, a dollar can still buy a discounted loaf of bread.
Hope still buys tomorrow.
It all matters.
(If you think points don't matter: they can buy exclusives from fellow strikers that then turns into what? Money.)
