AI Art: In the Style of Georgia O’Keeffe
UPDATE: This has been one of the more popular pages around here so I decided to give it a refresh. A year and a half later I’m still using “in the style of Georgia O’Keeffe” as an AI prompt. I love her style of painting and it really lends itself to what the AI can…

The Addictive Nature of AI Art Apps
I’ve been thinking a lot about the addictive nature of AI art. Using the AI art apps often feels like using a slot machine. I vacillate from, “It’s fun, it’s cool, it’s crazy,” to “it’s dull, it’s fake, it’s a ripoff, it’s a dopamine hit.” The addictive quality of making these images is nothing new…

Digitized Brushstroke Collages
Abstract art is so alluring, but also daunting. The greats make it look easy (Diebenkorn, Rothko, Mitchell), but the reality is that it is so much easier to make a lot of crap.

Stringing Beads for Meditation
I recently got back into jewelry making as a break from digital art. Every once in awhile I get overcome with the addictiveness of easily generating images. It feels like I’m making too many things, too quickly. In these situations I look for a way to slow it down. Sometimes I go back to painting…

Susan Rothenberg at a Drawing Class
Susan Rothenberg is one of the best painters of the post modern era. Her horse paintings of the 1970’s brought something so shockingly new to the art world, which at the time was saturated with pop art and minimalism. As Peter Schjeldal put it: “It was like a great malevolent joke in a year of…
