"Lucas john" Zine

"Lucas john" captures an interaction I had with an 'art bot' on Instagram.
Unfortunately common for artists online, these attempted scams have happened to me a few times but always follow the same pattern - praising your art style, requesting a strange commission, and demanding to pay for the artwork by some type of "electronic cheque." One chat bot in particular, Lucas john, was the most interesting and I knew I had to make a zine based on that Human to AI conversation. All of the text is this zine is taken verbatim from our chat history.

Concept art created in Sorauaren Park, Toronto, and risograph printed at Color Code Printing, also in Toronto.
