This is crazy. 10 years ago a guy was on commercials saying get off the couch and become an artist... now they saying to stay on the couch and use AI 😂

[@MrJusdatdude]

I was just laughing about that same commercial not too long ago. Lol. But at the end of the day you still got to get off your ass and do something. Even if you stay on the couch. Using AI is the action. Action is key. AI is only as good as its driver.

[@johnxsantos]

Facts

[@greyclassic6563]

@@MrJusdatdude my point exactly. All of the for profit art institutions got sued for shady advertisement practices... if you went to one of those schools like I did you kow it turned art education into a slob fest with video game tournaments everyday in the lounges and lazy kids dropping out like flies. My point is you get who you advertise to... we desperately need talented motivated people in art but everyone calls on the talentless kids desperate for a job and the art world is brutal if your not a real artist. Power washing driveways is a safer career path for sure

[@erik1836]

Thank you for putting this very informative tutorial together; I know it had to take a great deal of thought and organization to put it together so that it flowed as smoothly as it did; even if you are completely conversant on every point you delineated. I was familiar with most of the points you made from watching Greg Gottfried who, like yourself, has a wonderful engaging manner to his presentations. I am certain that you - as well as Greg - each paid a very high price and went through a steep learning curve to get the knowledge you possess under your belts - so it is no "like breathing out and breathing in" and you didn't have to bother to help us get started following in your footsteps! "I'll be back!" as someone once said in a movie somewhere once upon a time!

I hope a law gets put in place that ALL ai created music, art/design has to place on the work that it was created by machine and not by a human. Art and Music is essential to human creativity... and that is the only reason ai exists is by taking what weve left it to take... to rely on a machine to take away culture from humanity is lame af. I do support ai and those who use it but they should def be extremely up front about it. This is coming from an artist/musician who actually loves creating by hand, and also a supporter of ai who uses it for knowledge and information. Rules should be put in place... so that it doesnt muddy the water any further for those who are actually keeping culture alive. If everyone is up front about it theres no problems..... go make that money, but be straight up and dont front like you are creating something without your hands being held..

[@johnxsantos]

Completely understand what you mean. I believe AI will eventually look like AI. Similar to how digital art looked different than artist painting on canvases by hand. It’ll be a different genre, and it should have a label.

Hey John. I hope all is well. I would like to start a high end sunglasses business but I have no clue how to do it. I have a logo and someone to build a website but I don’t know where to find a company that manufactures high end sunglasses. Would you be able to do a video on it?

[@TinRoofVintage]

I have a whole collection of AI images done that I want to turn into a children's line. I subscribed over a year ago, now I'm ready, raising capital right now. I'll be viewing your videos for more info on how to get started. Thank you so much!

[@greyclassic6563]

Test your images with a presale. Unless you want to become a salesman sell the concept first and make sure you can produce only what people want. Do not dump a bunch of capital into an idea that people dont want yet. If you presale 20, use that data and print 40 shirts for your online store. 🤙

The thing about ai is that you can tell when it’s AI. Soulless creativity sticks out like sore thumb… even when it’s not AI.

[@elephantintheroom5678]

AI art isn't soulless; it is based on the souls of millions of artists. It's excellent, and it is a tool in the hands of other excellent artists.

True. Genuine art has soul. You can feel it just by looking at it, even if it was just drawn by a child.

[@elephantintheroom5678]

@@darksigben You can replicate that "genuine soul" look easily with the right commands to MidJourney. I'm an excellent artist, a natural, and educated in fine arts majoring in painting and drawing, with a good eye and hand, and I assure you that, if the right prompts are used, the only difference is the physical nature of the medium when seen in person.

Question 🙋🏿‍♂️…how did you add your print to the collar?I don’t see where I can do this.Right now it’s just a white collar, which is something I don’t want.

[@johnxsantos]

there is a tab to select the neck and another tab to select the upper inside

[@user-jathot]

Thanks, It was very informative, but the biggest issue faced by clothing brands is copyright, patent, & trademark. Can you provide any guidance on that subject.

[@johnxsantos]

Great question. I'll tap in with an expert on this in an upcoming livestream!

[@MrJusdatdude]

So is there a way for me to purchase my print on demand products at cost and not have to purchase them through my website so then that way I can have sample supplies to do marketing?

[@johnxsantos]

Yes there is. By creating an account you can order samples at a discount

[@KingChozen]

Seeing as you created that set, how do you set that up in your store? do you sell them individually? How would you set it up to sell as a combo and have it automated?

[@KingChozen]

@johnxsantos

[@johnxsantos]

with a standard shopify subscription you'd have to sell them individually. But there is a pretty good bundle app available on the app store that can combine the top and bottom and you can provide a discount to incentivize the purchase of the two items together. Or on checkout you can cross sell the other item and provide a discount too

John, can you break down the cost of why the sample cost 150.00.

[@johnxsantos]

I should have corrected it. But it was around $60 for the sublimation top and bottom. I ordered 2 hats plus 2 other shirts which brought my total to around $140 with shipping. Which is less than $150 😆

Getting broke talentless people to hop in the streetwear game is nasty work 😂 ... People like this need to buy a mower to start a lawncare buisness. Fulfilling orders takes too much dedication and nobody is less dedicated than someone that puts no effort into the brand

[@johnxsantos]

You got a point. But a lawn care business is hard work.

[@TVGoldMind]

Take it from someone who has a brand AND does commercial landscaping with my father, fulfilling orders is easier, but the satisfaction from a hard day work in the sun is fulfilling as well.

[@mmi3207]

I don't like this idea because Most AI STEALS the work of other artists. If you use it, make sure the company owns all of the photos that they're sourcing it from.

[@91750fast]

I love your energy brother but I have a awful feeling that you are encouraging people to add more shit to the shit pile. If you cant even take the time to learn how to design effectively, you probably shouldn't be in the clothing game. Low barrier of entry is ruining the entire process and Ai is at the root of the problem.

[@johnxsantos]

Appreciate your comment man. But A.I is inevitably here to stay. Learning it and including it into your workflow is a must have today. Although it still can’t replace a great graphic artist.

[@greyclassic6563]

Etsy is filled with junk like this. It's actually devastating and the smaller Chinese shops are taking full advantage of this soulless flooded market

[@corneliusblake-star4898]

As someone who is putting forth the effort and skill to making my own designs (15 at the moment all simple rn) I can understand the destain of AI, however it’s only going to keep advancing at a rapid pace, and it’s going to be utilize by almost everyone soon, I will definitely keep putting in my own efforts, but if I want to create something on the fly, then I’ll use AI just for that, I refuse to use it to replace my passion, but rather assist me.

[@THOMASPAYIKATTUVAYALILABRAHAM]

To be honest, I didn't understand anything. Is the video made for common people like me to understand or is it made to get reach for your video? My humble request is to speak a little slower and cut the clippings slower.

Funny how U think it takes no skill when not anyone knows how prompt like the pros so it is a skill

Learning someone else's program isn't a skill but it is definitely a man made hurdle that has to be jumped first before making ai images worth selling
