Welcome Issue: Summer Vibes

Hello Friends, Colleagues and Acquaintances!

I am inspired to share my experiences as I embark on the new creative process of learning AI art direction! I'm happy to announce I'll be posting on a regular cadence to share my creative experiments with AI. I will pick themes in the future that are specific and wonky, and so for today’s welcome issue I picked a group of images that give me the best feelings of summer.

I love learning new things! Ideation, all about ideas and concepts, is one of my top five strengths. I’ve always thought of it, however, as sort of a burden rather than a true strength. Like I’m lost chasing the ideas inside my head. It happens.

With AI imagery engines, I have the hunch they can help me envision some of these ideas. The best and most interesting visions. I’d love to share them!

That is, if I can only. Get. Them. Just… Right. And therein lies the complexity.

Achieving desired outcomes can be a challenge! It’s easy to get gorgeous images. Getting exactly what you want, well, that’s a different story.

So I started sensing the beginning of my creative process. The yearning for learning. I started playing around with DALL-E, and now Midjourney. There’s commands, and prompts, and parameters! Gotta catch ‘em all. With this process, with AI, we are all learning at the same time.

For your consideration, I'll be posting occasionally with the following:

  • Images I curate and art direct with AI,
  • Grouped with some sort of unifying theme in mind,
  • A brief description of my process, and
  • Any key learnings.

This project is a way for me to reach out and share in hopes of fostering greater connections.?If you like what I’m putting together I’d love to hear from you! If you’re a skeptic I’m interested in hearing your point of view. I offer respect to all people and ask the same in my conversations.

Hopefully you will find inspiration in my work, both creatively and as the output of a professional with a workflow (maybe not unlike yourself in that regard). If we are lucky you'll have the opportunity to enjoy some cool art.

Enjoy! Fingers crossed.

Much respect,

Graham

I am absolutely delighted to learn along with you. I am inspired to pay more attention to AI and figure out how to make it work for ME.

Hey Graham! You've inspired me to update my automatic1111 repo and get back to my own dabbling. I've been trying to set up a randomizer to automatically kick off and push the content created to a Chromecast monitor on my wall so I can have daily art.
