ART INFORMATION AND AUTHENTICATION

S.J. Crawford actively avoids the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) across the entirety of his published works. As part of his support for the broader creative industry, he has chosen to work exclusively with artists who do not use AI; relevant details are provided below for reader reference.

S.J. Crawford's public works are published by Evernorth Books, whose corporate policies restrict the use of generative AI by client authors and hired external services (editorial and artistic).

The author and publisher wish to balance genuine public interest in artist verification with the ability to support creative talent in areas where global social media is uncommon or unavailable. As such, in addition to the details provided above, all artist portfolios are reviewed extensively for authenticity in advance of commissioning work. Each stage of art, including sketch, line art, and color application, is also screened for potential AI use.

The author and publisher will withdraw any visuals that are demonstrated to have been AI-generated in whole or in part. As such, if the original nature of any artwork, promotional materials, or graphics are in doubt, please contact the publisher at admin@evernorthbooks.ca with your concerns and evidence, and an internal review will be conducted accordingly.
