Pablo Delcan launches Prompt Brush 2.0, a community project for non-AI art

digital · 2026-05-26

Artist and designer Pablo Delcan has expanded his anti-AI art project Prompt Brush into an open community platform called Prompt Brush 2.0. Originally a personal initiative where Delcan illustrated prompts submitted by followers—redirecting requests that would otherwise go to AI generators—the project now allows anyone to both submit prompts and create drawings. The website offers minimal tools: a black brush on a white canvas, encouraging care-free doodling over photorealism. Delcan, who teaches digital tools but opposes artistic laziness, sees the project as a small good thing: a drawing made by a person for another person. The prompts range from silly (puffer fish on podcasts) to mundane ("test", "moon"), all interpreted imaginatively by volunteer artists. The project began as a social media joke but quickly amassed over 1,000 prompts, leading Delcan to open it up to similarly frustrated artists. Prompt Brush 2.0 is free to use and aims to prove that indolence isn't innovation.
