Kachina Mod

This abstract Kachina has always been one of my favorite digital creations. I continue to develop variations.

A Field Guide to Dragons

This is just one of 15-20 dragons from my self-published book. None have been minted.

Spirit Garden

I created over 300 digital renderings while collaborating with Ballet Tucson on the new ballet “Spirit Garden” in 2016. The ballet is now in Ballet Tucson’s bi-annual rotation. I have minted a few of these, I think. Otherwise, they are available to mint.

A few of the “Spirit Garden” images have already been minted. I didn’t want to spend the time to cull them out for this overview.

I COULD EASILY CREATE VARIATIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MOCDA WORK

Power to the People

Shaded Skulls

Color Clans

Steampunk Cruises

All three of these images are available to mint.

 GAN Development

This was something I put together in an effort to get Playform to understand the importance of design basics. They were not interested.

Of course, many intermediate steps are not shown. My point is that my understanding of the principles of design was required at all stages. The resulting images are all worthy, though I would likely not use some for NFTs.

Billions of pixels were shoved around during this creative exploration, but little was left to chance, and the result is anything but random.

I would love it if you could develop a system wherein an artist has more control. If nothing else, I’d like to have control over the CENTER OF INTEREST and a few other critical elements, so that I can guide the work. Art, almost by definition, is a process of selection—not one of unfettered randomness.

Put a billion monkeys in front of a billion iPads and give them a billion years. You may end up with “Guernica.” But good luck finding it on any particular day, as you work your way through the ~googol failures they would also create.
