Meet Your Expert Instructor
Hi there! Tony Laidig here... I’m known as The Public Domain Expert, but what I really do is help creators like you unlock limitless potential through AI and public domain content... without the overwhelm.
I’ve been experimenting with AI writing and art tools since before they were cool (back in 2018), and over the last 18+ years, I’ve designed more than 600 book covers, including several that landed on the New York Times Best-Seller list.
My goal? To make creativity more accessible, more profitable, and way more fun!
If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to figure out how to create books, products, or art that actually stand out, I’ve probably built a course or strategy to help. I’ve taught over 2,000 course modules covering everything from publishing and book design to AI-generated art, children’s books, video content, and beyond.
And while I love teaching and creating, I live what I teach... traveling the country in an RV with my wife Kristen and our two cats, making art, writing, and capturing inspiration with my camera wherever we roam.
If you're ready to explore powerful tools, timeless content, and scalable creative strategies, you're in the right place!
