Few people probably ever bother to read profiles. Just in case you are the exception and actually bother to do this, I have a personal message for you….

I’m getting old and I don’t have a lot of patience. I create images using whatever tools are available to me …. Including AI …. if that turns you off my images then you’ve just proved yourself a narrow minded bigot.

An image is an image, and communicates visually what I see and think and feel about the world. I try to make them dramatic and beautiful …. and for me they are like a Time Machine which enables me to revisit my past, both real and imaginary….. using artistic influences from the past of artists I admire.

It’s not copying or worse, because these images are a fusion of their ideas and styles re-expressed through my life experiences, imagination and creativity. I collaborate with the camera and or AI, to create something new…. Which means something to me and expresses something about life as I see it.

I apply styles and digital techniques I have refined over 30+ years of working with digital imaging, based on a lifetime of real (physical) art practice, sketching and painting.

This is just another way of me expressing myself and enjoying the process.

Feel free to comment or even contact me for a discussion about art, AI and future directions. I won’t bite your head off.
