One of the things I have been playing with is imagining my artwork in a fantastical ai gallery space. I mostly use ai generated gallery images that have clues that they are unrealistic (such as scale, strange proportions, flawed people, odd patterns, etc.) and I don’t put much effort if any into retouching to make it all more true to life. A quick look during a scrolling session could have someone thinking otherwise in some instances, but any of these images I post are labeled with what is mine, what is not and the ai generator used. It is fun to see what these combinations bring.

ai image generation: a journey

I became intrigued with ai image generation as a way to quickly iterate ideas and concepts. This was one of my first “successful” generations from stable diffusion 2.1. At this point I’ve generated many images from a number of image generators. I’ve used the free versions, and no images I have generated have been sourced from other artists. Though there is controversy surrounding it, to me, ai is a useful and powerful new tool for artists, just as the computer was when it became available. This blog was created to share a glimpse of my ai project journey. The work I create influences the ai images I generate and vice versa in an ongoing dialogue.
