AI-ASSISTED CREATIONS

Playing around with MidJourney is like letting your fevered brain roll the dice at the craps table of imagination. Happy accidents and nightmarish visions are all on the menu. I've found the app an interesting tool to generate ideas, and explore artistic directions I might not have considered otherwise.

​

Rather than letting the AI do all the work, though, I've been feeding it my own drawings to analyze how it interprets my style. That way, I can hone in on words and phrasing that direct the AI to create something similar to what I would (and could) do. Then I refine that new output further with my own digital strokes in Photoshop.

​

This means expanding the canvas, retouching mistakes, adding details, refining colors and mood, etc. ... I can achieve in days what would take me weeks, if not months. It's both exhilarating and depressing.

Please enjoy my synthetic collaboration.
