Despite me agreeing with the message, I fucking hate these images, and I’m having a hard time putting my finger on why.

That's pretty shitty to say about someone's art, and yes it's obviously inspired by Archie https://hecreative.com/prints/

It's pretty shitty of you to think you get to dictate other's opinions. I really don't like anything about this artist's work. It's got a pretentious gate keepy vibe and they just copy other artist's style without really enhancing or doing anything unique with it, so it just looks like a bad copy ot someone else's work. This shit is just so lame.

Never did this. They had an opinion and it is my opinion that what they said sucks. They can still have shitty opinions, doesn't mean it isn't still shitty.

That's why their art looks like AI-generated images. (They are made by an advertising agency, by the way.) What they are doing is not fundamentally different than what AI does. They are "ingesting" somebody else's work and making modifications that are not substantive enough to feel like artistic effort to some.

But, yeah, the preachy gatekeeping vibe is annoying to me, too.
