As a licensed surface pattern designer who makes patterns manually this video is both life changingly awesome and quite disturbing at the same time 😳

A quick look at Etsy will show that the market is already saturated with cheap AI patterns. I think many people will find that it will be extremely hard to make their listings stand out. And getting the sort of volume that some of these other stores are will require a lot of time dedicated towards building a brand on social media. I would also be wary of trying to monetize AI generated images, as all of the algorithms currently available have depended on scrubbing the internet for images, which they don't have permission to do. When I just searched Etsy, I saw several listings of patterns that still had impressions of watermarks in them. Eventually these AI services will have to pay for licenses for the images in their data sets, which will greatly increase the cost of using them.

I know this AI stuff is incredible, But as surface pattern designer my self, I feel so humiliated... We are the real designer, make a pattern from strach and hand drawing it our self and there will be non-surface pattern maker making this stuff and called them self as designer... Making pattern not just type some word in it... Every pattern have their own story and journey... It's put effort in it and creativity to make it beautiful.

Illustrator here. ​ I’d even go as far as saying that a consistent style would be difficult to replicate. That seems like it could put a damper on someone trying to sell themselves as an “artist” when there isn’t even one style that could be replicated according to a new set of perimeters. As an artist, you’re hired for your ability to produce a piece according to needed specs (colors, characters, specific stylization). It doesn’t look like the important aspects of that can be created and then replicated to create a cohesive collection.

Also, I have to note that most of the art I saw here was basic and lifeless. I’m talking Hobby Lobby, old lady havin’, images. These weren’t at all interesting.

I've spent my whole life working my butt off to become a full-time artist...between social media and this bs things feel bleak.

Using AI tools like Mid-Journey is a lifesaver. Kinda like how I use boost app social for my social media grind. Makes everything so much smoother.

I think digital file upload tutorial would be helpful and going more in depth of uploading from POD service to Etsy.

[ImmortalMe]

Hi Alek love your videos thank you so much! Yes, please a video on how to list digital products on Etsy would really be helpful! Thanks a bunch!

[annwitham]

Yes, a listing video would be super helpful, Alek. Thank you! Also, sometime could you make a short tutorial on how to use Figma? I gave up on it, sadly.

[UshasRides]

I needed this - thanks... especially love the detailed Midjourney/discord setup... helped me loads.

[SaltAndVi]

Wow great video, I thought you were just going to say use ai to make the patterns and list them online but you actually made a great tutorial!

[crwilliamsification]

Would love to hear an update on the Etsy challenge.

[shawn_mckenzie]

[fnqpride]

I love your videos, they are so helpful. I do have a question - before posting the tiles as digital images etc do we need to upscale them first?

[ougrad]

Yes, please do a listing video for digital products!
