We've recently had to add password protection to the Pure Illustration website. This began as a response to a hacker submitting fake orders, which was affecting the performance of the site.
Since then, we've also taken steps to protect the work of our artists from AI bots that crawl websites, gathering imagery to learn how to generate similar concepts and styles. Nothing has been stolen (yet) — this is a preventative measure to safeguard the originality and creativity of our artists’ work in an increasingly AI-driven world.
If you're a genuine company looking to license artwork for your products or packaging, please get in touch. Once we've verified your details, we’ll be happy to share the password with you.
Thank you for supporting independent artists and original illustration.
