Collage Art

Trained an AI model on my mixed media collage work from over the years 🧡💙

Thank you! This is an output I made while creating a book cover for my Mom who is publishing a book of poetry about Los Angeles 🌴🌴

Love this! Working on a collection of outputs from it?

Thank you @pjc 🙏

And yes! I’m super stoked on how I’m able to use these tools to expand the personal artistic language I’ve been developing for many years.. like a conversation almost maybe? For me, AI just expands the mix of tools & ways I create.

Using AI in my work wasn’t really interesting to me until around 18 months or so ago when I learned how to fine tune models. So I fine tuned on my artwork from the last 20ish years & then it made so much sense to me.

In my physical art practice much of my work uses different types of papers that I dye/paint/sew into colorful collages & sculptural paintings on wood panels w resin/spray paints/inks etc. & I have my ‘library’ (ie: drawers, shoe boxes & bins) of dyed paper scraps & small sewn bits etc. from years of that stuff that I use in my scanographs & then I use some of those to train AIs too

Also love using my own photos for the AI to reference like I did w these roses. I made this piece using a photo I shot while walking my dog one night :)

woah - yes yes yes. I love this.

AI amplifying real human talent, not replaces it.
Is this how you're feeing about the tools @ashira - positive, or what's the vibe? Amplifying prior bodies of work...

This sure one a hell of a beautiful art-e-fact! 🤍🤍🙇🏻‍♀️
