Creative Process: A way of being in the world integrity kindness Truth
In this 21st Century of Artificiality, the Artist Shield's the Imagination from the onslaught of Machine-made imagery.
ANCIENT TECHNIQUES IN MODERN TIMES
maintaining artisan traditions in a technological world: Passing On SKILLS, TOOLS & WISDOM To Younger Generations has never been more important
The first images the AI birthed were dreadful looking, 6-fingered ghouls staring out with dead eyes.
The Artist will not be fooled by the latest iterations, knowing that at it's core, there is a lack of Soul.
Better to look at a child's crayon drawing and marvel at the preciousness of the imagination
than to have one's attention manipulated by a heartless machine.
