My Creative Process
For me, the making of AI-assisted art is about guiding a machine to hallucinate a draft of my vision. It's a mix of daydreaming and problem-solving.
I often work with as many as five different AIs to create a single piece, spending most of my time in Photoshop, shaping those raw sparks of inspiration into high-resolution files that will produce beautifully detailed fine art prints.
Where It Starts
Most pieces start with a flash of an image in my head — maybe a towering mech guardian walking a small child home, or a delicate graphite sketch of a young geisha. I try to put that vision into words an AI can understand, and from there it’s a process of nudging, refining, or sometimes completely rethinking things, until the image 'clicks'. Sometimes that happens in minutes, other times it can take days of experimenting before I land on the perfect starting point.
Four AIs. One Vision.
Once I have that initial render the real work begins. Altogether, I’ll run it through multiple AIs, each with a specific strength — enhancing details, rebuilding textures, or adding depth to the mood. Between those passes I'm bringing it into Photoshop where I fine-tune colors, fix imperfections, and replace or reimagine elements until everything fits with my initial vision. When complete, the final work will have a resolution of at least 8K (about 40-inches at 300 DPI) so it’s ready to print with every detail intact. My goal is for each piece to feel polished, alive, and ready to hold its own in any collection.
My Artistic Style
If someone asked me about my artistic style, I’d admit my work draws from my love of science fiction, both modern and classical art, architectural design, and world travel. Contemporary artists I admire include Syd Mead, Tim Burton, and Simon Stålenhag—visionaries who create immersive digital worlds blending technical precision with cinematic storytelling.
