Fake Prints "Outpainted"

I expanded my fake prints using DALL-E 2's new "Outpainting" function.  These were images I had created in DALL-E 2 in the first place, and then laser engraved them in linoleum to make relief prints:

MORE FAKE PRINTS

UPDATE (September 23):  I made more fake prints with AI, engraving them into linoleum with the laser cutter at Quelab.  The horizontal lines were an artifact of the laser engraving, which might be because of the "scan gap" settings.  Before the empty areas would laser engrave clean, but I kind of like the horizontal lines.

Photogravure

I thought that the photogravure process might translate some of my digitally enhanced drawings into etchings.  So we tried a quick experiment at Remarque Print Workshop in Albuquerque, and I picked it up on September 2, 2022:

The photogravure experiment

This was taken from the digital image below:

I liked this image because it had a sparkly kick to it after I edited it in Photoshop Elements, and the exaggerated forms enhanced the feeling of gravity acting on the figure.

The sparkle feeling did not translate entirely in the photogravure print, and the figure drawing lost volume.

TRYING AGAIN

So we are going to try again with a figure drawing with a Maya style, altered by Deep Dream Generator.  I think this image might be more forgiving because the lines are a tad bit harsher:

I like the idea of blending a traditional print method (photogravure) with a 21st Century affectation (Artificial Intelligence) to generate one of my figure drawings with a contemporary technique.

Second variation

Juliana Coles had a big opening of her work at Remarque Print Workshop in Albuquerque on September 2nd, 2022.  She comes to a lot of the same drawing sessions that I do, and incorporates those drawings into more extensive works:
