Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque (I left early):
I drew this abstract drawing, and then worked it through a lot of AI to get results...that had little to do with my original drawing:
Joe Marshall sent me photos from Tucson of the new tessellation tile prints he carved:
ABSTRACT AI
My initial abstract drawing
before any AI treatments
The abstract drawing above
passed through multiple AI treatments
Midjourney has a new feature where they will let one "re-texture" an image that one uploads -- so I uploaded my abstract drawing and "re-textured" it with prompts referring to other artists:
prompt: "drawing by Giacometti"
prompt: "drawing by Ingres"
prompt: "drawing by R Crumb"
PRINTS
Previous announcement from Joe Marshall at the Heart of The Sun Gallery in Tucson:
- I got an email from Xerocraft makerspace on November 12th. It looks like I can send them a stack of linoleum, and they will laser cut it into "hat" tiles for me. Then Joe Marshall can pick them up for our EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print project
- I also left a stack of linoleum at the UNM Printmaking Department, if they would like to laser cut some "hat" tiles
- And on November 13th I should be laser cutting some "hat" tiles with a private laser cutter in Albuquerque
- (Plus there is a stack of linoleum to laser cut at UTEP in El Paso)
