ai image generation: using Freeform to keep track of images

May 12, 2024

I’ve been using Freeform as a digital sketchbook and to track series of ai generated images in a sort of look book. It’s a great way to quickly create pages with image groups and it prints nicely. It has remove background and snap to grid features that help making quick layout.

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.
