The Next Great Art Endeavor

The next big community project for the Tuesday Night Drawing group in Santa Fe is called "The Next Great Art Endeavor." Each participating artist will create three works based/related to a famous painting. An exhibition is scheduled for March 2027.

So I recreated some classical paintings in my drawing style -- using two AI models in KREA -- one trained on my drawings, and another based on my drawings-and-Bernini:

NOTE: The difference between the original Bernini sculpture and the AI version (on the right below).  I altered the original sculpture with two AI models -- one trained on my drawings, and another based on Bernini-and-my-drawings.  The results are definitely different from Bernini -- but are they original?

Hmmm...if Damien Hirst can outsource his artwork to assistants, why can't I outsource to AI?
