I've seen an AI parody of the Obama "Hope" poster going around featuring #PortlandFrog and I decided that I should make a non-AI version (left). This is also under #cc0 ( #publicdomain ) so feel free to use it however you wish.

See alt text of other image, this one doesn't have a cape and the frog is color-stepped from tan to dark green
Alt text from an earlier poster of this poster: a cartoon frog with a bit of a glare wearing a cape evocative of the US flag in a poster setting similar to the HOPE Obama posters, captioned HOP.

Not exactly autotrace but admittedly similar. I started with brightness steps (the initial output is basically 4 grayscale vectors representing 4 ranges of brightness on the source image, excluding the lightest range). After, I colored the steps and I did some changes to the brightness steps, such as removing the lighter tones near right and adding in the lightest (yellowish) tone. I also did the background but that was just 4 rectangles and Futura letters.

This still sounds rather mechanical. To make a point agains AI art, I sat down and gave this an hour of my creative time. Thanks for holding my beer! 🍺

Portland Frog motive based on Shepard Fairey Obama motive and the AI created HOP motive. Inflatable frog in side view rendered in yellow and green. Background blue and red. The frog is wearing the blue cape, a bit longer than in the original picture. CC BY-NC-ND 4.0

Didn't manage to see any inflatable frogs on this trip to #portland, but I did see some #PortlandFrogs going up down the street from Powells…
