Drawn live at North Fourth Art Center in Albuquerque:

I passed the drawing below between two AIs -- "Text 2 Dream" in Deep Dream Generator, and Midjourney -- in a game of "Telephone" solitaire:

Collage of three drawings


1)  I uploaded the above drawing into "Text 2 Dream "in Deep Dream Generator, with the prompt: "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration," using their "Artistic" model:

"Text 2 Dream" prompt:
 "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration"


2)  Then I uploaded the above image into Midjourney using the same prompt:  "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration," and the image below was the closest to the image above:

Midjourney prompt: 
 "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration"


3)  Then I revisited "Text 2 Dream" in Deep Dream Generator by uploading the above image, with the same prompt: "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration," again using the "Artistic" model:

"Text 2 Dream" prompt:
 "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration"


4)  Finally I uploaded the above image to Midjourney with the same prompt again:  "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration."

Midjourney prompt: 
 "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration"


FORKS

I didn't get anything I liked, so I started again, uploading the first AI image (created in "Text 2 Dream") to Midjourney with the prompt: "in the style of Hans Bellmer":

Midjourney prompt: "in the style of Hans Bellmer"


I wondered if I had just uploaded the original collage drawing to Midjourney with the same prompt " "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration." It was very different from what "Text 2 Dream" in Deep Dream Generator gave me:

Midjourney prompt: 
 "A pen and ink drawing in the style of English Victorian illustration"




PRINTS

Elle transferred a photo with tracing paper, to a 6x6 inch expanded PVC foam square, and then gouged into it with a metal etching needle.  The relief print came out really nicely:
