Bling

Robert Atkinson and I made some custom die-cut stickers and heat transfers to get our AI images off the computer, and out into the public eye.  

This AI image (based on my drawing)
became a sticker and a heat transfer design



STICKERS

Proper Printshop of El Paso produced a pile of 50 stickers of our designs on 5x5 inch sheets.  I paid $135 to the shop in El Paso on Tuesday, approved the design on Wednesday, and by Friday evening they were in my mailbox in Albuquerque.

We bought 50 
5x5 inch sheets of die cut stickers

The red lines on this 300 dpi image
were the die-cut lines


Kirsten put the stickers
on her refrigerator
in her drawing studio


HEAT TRANSFERS

111 T-Shirt lab in Albuquerque ordered some heat transfer images for us from Supacolor. We piled a bunch of images on an 11.7 x 16.5 sheet, with 1/4 inch bleed in front the edge, 300 dpi.

These images transfer to clothing with a heat transfer machine.

AI Process

I have been creating images using the AI Art programs online, in particular Midjourney, and I wanted to bring them into the real world.  Creating stickers and clothing (via heat transfers) was the easiest first step.  All my images were created with AI, and refined in Photoshop, as were most of Robert's images.


The following blog entries cover the AI images in more depth:

UPDATE:  Adric had these custom hologram stickers made at Sticky Brand online:
