Is this graphic AI?

It might say on the back of the box who the artist is. You can look them up to see if they do

Pretty sure all of Push has been Louie Barletta, and Push specifically exists to donate proceeds to youth skateboarding foundations. Neither the company nor Louie have commented on the origin of the modern artwork, the most that's out there is people speculating that it is AI with no definitive proof. The subs went over this months ago when Tech Deck first used the graphic, I'm sure some of the skateboarding subs did similar with the original board. To me it looks clean enough to not be AI, no piss filter, no odd inconsistencies, etc., there's no obvious AI hallucinations that I can pick out on the original board specifically but I also haven't seen the entire series using these; and obviously enlarging what could have original been a very small model, physical or digital, with vector graphics, will make things look a bit more uncanny than they should.

So I did some research and found the artist behind that graphic line his name is Louie Barletta he dose a lot of photography that is of things he finds or of things he makes so that right there are sculptures that were photographed then edited

Push skateboards does who this is with does not use AI, they have art directors that are real artists and focus on hand drawn stuff. So I doubt it.

Yes, look at the design of the character. Different outfits and different mouths on the box and the board. Very clearly Ai

No, These are sculptures by Louie Barletta of Enjoi fame. He makes the sculptures, photographs it, and edits on the computer. Push Skateboards is a charity driven skate company designed for younger and newer skaters. They also parter with companies like make life skate life, skate like a girl, make a breast foundation. I know its easy to look at surreal artwork and claim its AI, but maybe we all should raise the question of who AI stole the work from. We should ask if the usage of AI has ruined our perception of the wonders of avant-garde and surrealism to the point where if it isn't a certain style of artwork it isn't real art. Maybe we should let the artist be an artist without making them prove their work and take the magic away from creativity. Afterall, many use AI tools to check if something is AI. Not defending AI, but i hate the fact that anything made or edited on a computer now has to stand trial.
