My surreal work is a technique I call: Directed Digital Extrapolation™,
My DDE™ process is a 5-step process of manipulating my original digital images, utilizing both AI bots and final detailing software.
1st) I use visualization and loose digital sketching to conceive the core image concept for the piece
2nd) I use either my Wacom tablet, but more frequently, my iPad to render the core image, employing apps, tools, and plug-ins
3rd) write and enter the unique code command stream I conceived, URL, and prompt script to direct the AI extrapolation-bot process for the core beta
4th) execute the initial bot run layering deeper into this step of the process as may prove necessary until desired parameters (approx. 95%) are reached
5th) do final touch ups of master image with Photoshop/Illustrator
Rob, these are otherworldly and amazing to look at. To me it feels like you are using various digital tools to enhance your concepts but you are still the author of the art. I hope you’ve gotten a patent on your process? These look SO MUCH BETTER than the AI generated slop that’s out there!!!!!
Thank you so very much, Lisa. I appreciate that and I’m really glad you find these engaging. I would love to be able to patent all the process. The problem with some of it is not patina because it’s not necessarily my until I feel property. Some of this goes back 30 years in film ministry, but I’ve brought it together and combined it and I’m using it they’re aspects. I do have Pat and I forgot to trademark on the name. I’ve got a couple of the ways I I’d bring Wacom images in to the digital processor but I’m glad you love them. I love to make them now every poem am I right? I produce a leaf one work to go with it. I figure I’ve got whatever years I’ve got left. I’m gonna get as many as done as possible maybe someday All my poetry on my digital art will be worth something to somebody maybe somebody in my family I don’t know. I don’t know.
