Reflecting on my past work does seem to bring some new perspectives for me. I miss having a shared studio space so here are a few of my pieces. The beauty of female form is a favorite, and I always need models besides myself. Msg me. :)
All are original and mixed media on arches 100lb paper. Media includes ink, pastel, charcoal, acrylic, and oil pastel. Most originals are available for sale and all available for prints. Check out my website!
Does midjourney dream of Starry Nights?: AI & the Death of Avant-garde
At first glance, this piece stirs notions of the innate, persistent, raw beauty and existential melancholy true to humanity. Earnestly, when approaching it with the pseudo-sardinistc call-to-answer “I could have done that,” “okay, but did you?” I find myself grasping at artificial air in a room absent of point of view. Where is the abrupt humanity? Where is the crippling, self doubt-ridden pursuit? With the exponentially spiraling capabilities of AI in all fields, how does generative art live relative to the pursuit of technical mastery or vision that defines “analog” artists? Or rather, how does one survive as an analog artist in a digital age? Relative to reception, sustainable practice, and baseline, marginal profitability, is one realm destined to die of obsolescence? Or is there more in the space between? If so, how do we get through the void?
