When the prompt changes from adding seashells and other ocean detritus to “a container,” rather than a “ceramic container”… these are a few images Wombo’s dream.ai produced. These make me wish I had time to start working in fine metals! Images are from back in 2023/2024 before the refinement of the app. They are amazing in their lack of symmetry which is hard to produce as these image generators evolve.

The vessels in this series were not in the direction I was heading at the time but ideas seep from all input/output. They feel like treasures dug up from an ancient civilization with magical properties. What to do to get my three wishes, or ward away an enemy? Burn incense from them? Add an effigy inside?…

These are keepers!

Images generated with Wombo’s dream.ai

ai image generation: a journey

I became intrigued with ai image generation as a way to quickly iterate ideas and concepts. This was one of my first “successful” generations from stable diffusion 2.1. At this point I’ve generated many images from a number of image generators. I’ve used the free versions, and no images I have generated have been sourced from other artists. Though there is controversy surrounding it, to me, ai is a useful and powerful new tool for artists, just as the computer was when it became available. This blog was created to share a glimpse of my ai project journey. The work I create influences the ai images I generate and vice versa in an ongoing dialogue.
