This is precisely the kind of thing other people were doing that inspired me to get into AI video-making. What, you can make a whole trailer? How?! Now, a lot of people, really a lot, and I might even say MOST people are not having this one bit. In fact, for every AI video I…

I’m taking a lot of heat, folks. People are unfollowing me on YouTube. I pinned this comment because the guy precisely expressed a phenomenon I believed I was witnessing. Spoiler alert, what this fellow was missing is that while, for me, making images with AI alone doesn’t give me as much to do as I…

This video expands on clips of art critic Robert Hughes critiquing two of Damien Hirst’s works in the documentary “Mona Lisa Curse,” which has been removed from YouTube under the pretext of copyright infringement. All such segments from the documentary have also been removed. I’m able to get around that by using heavy and creative editing…

The reason I made this video is that I discovered that the infamous clip of art critic Robert Hughes saying that Andy Warhol was “stupid” could no longer be found on YouTube.

These days, the art marketplace writes art history, and what is best for the profit margin of the top buyers and sellers is not necessarily faithful to what is true, best for art, or conducive to understanding art, artists, reality, or each other. Au contraire, and in spades. The legend of Vincent’s extreme psychological distress—the…

Since the discovery in 2016 of a doodle made by Dr. Felix Rey ostensibly illustrating what portion of Van Gogh’s ear was removed, virtually every art critic, historian, and institution, including the Van Gogh Museum, now maintains that Vincent sliced off the entirety of his ear. If, like me, you “didn’t get the memo,” you…

This is the video version of my Richter post about his painted-over photos, which are among his most captivating works. It includes lots more images, and much larger ones at that. My approach includes doing a deep internet search for the best available images and footage to pull from so that my videos contain top-notch…

If you like painting, photography, and aesthetically beautiful images, you’re in for a treat. Gerhardt Richter’s overpainted photographs are among his most captivating works.

This one’s a beauty. The video is more about the destructive impact art history has had on art than it is about Pollock, but even Pollock haters should appreciate the aesthetics of his work as I’ve showcased it.

This video combats the often-repeated argument that AI is just a tool when it comes to making AI art, and the real art is “the idea”.

Where does the real art happen, in the concept, the rendering, or both? What kind of ideas are present in visual art? What does everyone miss when talking about ideas in AI art?

I have a limited time to get this blog post out before it’s too late. What is the thing I most have in common with Vincent Van Gogh? There are a few things, but topping the list is never making any money off of my art. True, he sold one painting in his lifetime, which…

In the final version of Mecha-Marilyn, I elongated the canvas, added broken glass, her signature on masking tape, and in the upper left piled thick [digital] paint swatches on the surface of the image … If I were to write about this piece in the manner I do about other artists’ work, I’d lavish praise,…

My digital painting Mecha-Marilyn (V1) has arrived, and I’ll share Version 2 in the coming days.

UPDATE: I just made a video version of this post if you’d prefer to kick back and watch rather than read. For some mysterious reason, my video about the Salvator Mundi not being a real Leonardo, basically because it sucks, has suddenly been getting a lot of traction after being buried by the algorithm for…

My internet hoax of more than 10 years ago. A surprisingly good read, and curiously relevant considering recent UFO/UAP stories in the news.

Imagine what America would look like if it were ruled by corporations and institutions that paid off politicians and got away with doing whatever they wanted in their own self-interest. Somehow it would look exactly like it does now.

We’re not allowed to talk about evil in polite society. It’s considered almost so backward as to be medieval. But the real reason is that evil will not stand for being pointed out and always masquerades as good. Nobody comes right out and acknowledges that they are doing evil things, except perhaps the Marquis de…

My latest video. This one’s more straight-up art history, but with some significant observations and analysis that are all my own and you won’t find anywhere else.

The video is based on a recent blog post, which you may have read, which was in turn based on a Twitter thread I wrote that got exactly 1 like. [And hey, just an aside, but Elon has been a serious disappointment on Twitter. Not only did he never make the algorithms public as promised,…

“The Last of England” by Ford Madox Brown is not only a super-crisp, vivid image that perfectly captures the sensations of being in a small boat tossed about at sea. It is a tragic self-portrait of the artist, his wife, and their baby, leaving England never to return, hoping to find better prospects in some distant land.

AI may sour people to art that has anything to do with machine learning or processes, and cause a renewed appreciation of physical art.

The reason I’m exploring this style right now has a lot to do with AI. It’s done using only my own imagination and skills. It also goes against everything I learned in my advanced art classes in university. This piece was a bit of an experiment and template. It’s not a new style for me.…

I’ve worked in a lot of styles over the years, and invented several. I have not made a concerted effort to develop one style, preferring to explore a full range of possibilities. Consequently, some people think I don’t have a style of my own. Here are 52 images which share that they are created 100%…

There’s no AI, no appropriation, no references, no photo-bashing, no filters, no uploaded sculpts, no gimmick… It’s essentially just drawing from my imagination.
