Synthetic Happiness
I was looking back at all the images I rendered with Midjourney over the last year and a half. There’s some good stuff in there that got overlooked. I actually rendered this last year (2022) with Midjourney version 3.
I could have opted to crop this square and make it all about the figure, but that is so boring and just like every other image on the internet. This composition reminds me of art you would see on a gatefold vinyl LP double album from back in the day, with the front cover on the right and the back on the left, and the art continuously wrapping around.

The Horror
I finished two versions of this piece because I wasn’t sure which one was better. This is the closer version:
The closer version would probably work better on social media, but I really like the wider version a lot better, especially since I’m trying to design my artwork to be printed big (poster size and larger.)
Part of me resents feeling like I have to constantly cater to people looking at stuff on the internet aka on their phones. It really messes with my head when I’m trying to make creative decisions. I think I have to actively resist the temptation to reduce everything to the least common denominator of what will get the most likes when viewed on a small screen. It’s extremely limiting, not just because of the composition but also the subject matter. What will get an immediate reaction so you get the most likes? Subtly is lost and everything starts to look the same.
Social media really messes with your head.

I Made This!
I thought I had posted this last year when I made it. This was created with Midjourney version 3 (that’s two versions ago!) It was another accident while I was trying to do something else. The accidents are always the best stuff.
I almost titled this “You are what you make” but that’s a little on the nose, don’t you think?

All of Us 001
I’ve chosen this as the start of a new image series that deals with anxiety and confusion. It’s about all those different voices inside our head that distract us from where we are, and where we’re going.
One thing that fascinates me is how the “Art Machine” understands what things look like but it doesn’t understand what the images mean. It doesn’t understand metaphor or surrealism. I’m hoping to get some interesting images exploring confusion and dreams.
