Instead of AI, Pablo Delcan Hand-Draws Each Prompt You Send Him
Move over Midjourney, there’s a new sheriff in town. Well, kinda. His name is Pablo Delcan, a Catskills, New York-based artist who’s been offering his own prompt-based service called Prompt Brush. These aren’t highly rendered, intensely saturated compositions that are typically churned out through AI, mind you. But rather, more humorous hand-drawn interpretations that Declan creates within a minute for each of the submissions he receives.
This all started as a joke, but Delcan now creates up to 50 prompt-based artworks a day, totaling 1,000 since launch. It’s understandably a “huge undertaking”, he’s noted in a past interview, but merits the project for the way it’s allowed him to connect with his audience “in a way [he] hadn’t before”.
Drawings have included simple reinterpretations of a diamond to a depiction of “An art director getting a haircut” to another’s dream of having Brad Pitt as their “new boyfriend.” “I’ve received a lot of messages from people about how much it meant to receive a drawing in their inbox,” Delcan added. “People tell me some of the drawings make them laugh, some become memorable. It’s also been a project that feels more universal than most of the other work I do – it’s simple and it can be understood by anyone, especially kids.”
