December 6, 2023 -- first drawing session at Fusion

We had our first drawing session at Fusion in Albuquerque:

AI ART

My "ALCHEMY" trial has run out on Leonardo.AI, but it still generates good results when I used my "KRRRL Drawings Long 07" model (based on my long drawings):

prompt: "Sculpture of a woman sitting

on the floor in the style of Bernini KrrrlLong"

I tried a second time, with a similar prompt -- but with "Prompt Magic" turned on:

I would like to subscribe to Leonardo.AI, but they would not take a prepaid gift card

PRINTS

The Open Press Print Exchange put out a call to printmakers for their third print exchange:

FLOOD 2.0

Quelab flooded at 2 AM when another sprinkler broke, but when I showed up about 11 PM later that night the damage didn't look too bad. This is the second sprinkler flood, the first being on October 30, 2021

I blended each of these drawings in Midjourney with this fake Henry Moore image above to get the images below:

Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:

DEEP DREAM GENERATOR

Apparently Deep Dream Generator upgraded to "Version 3" on December 1st, 2023. However they eliminated the "Style Transfer" option, which I thought was the best feature of the program.

I could still use "Style Transfer" if I changed the suffix of the URL -- from "generate" to "generator":

https://deepdreamgenerator.com/generate

https://deepdreamgenerator.com/generator

The "Style Transfer" does not change the basic structure of the input image, unlike the other AI Art programs.

Moreover I need to beef up my thin pencil drawings first, with "Style Transfer" -- because the other AI Art programs generate poor images from thin pencil drawings.

The Difference

between the old and the new

Deep Dream Generator

I uploaded the first drawing in this blog post to Deep Dream Generator, and used both the old "Style Transfer" and the new "Version 3" -- there was a huge difference in the results generated:

"Style Transfer" from the older version

with the prompt: "in the style of Moebius"

Second Figure

I uploaded the second image of this blog post, and used the old "Style Transfer" method:

Using the old "Style Transfer" method

However there are new features with "Version 3," such as "Remove Background" and "Inpainting:"

I then used "Remove Background,"

a feature of the new "Version 3"

I then collaged the above image, now without background, into a photo I took at the "O'Keeffe & Moore" exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum, and uploaded it to Midjourney to generate other variations:
