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 sketch to conceive the core image concept for the piece
2nd) early days I used my Wacom tablet. Now arthritis has me using iPad to render the core image, employing apps, tools, and plug-ins
3rd) write and enter the code command stream, 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
