I Am The Sun- Redux I, II, III - NEW Limited Edition Print Series

 I Am The Sun- Redux II

The evolutionary process of exploring and making art has been at the forefront of my forty plus year career even while working for big publishing companies or in the film industry. Trying new techniques, methods and technologies are ways to challenge myself and find unique ways to express my soul in physical form. 

AI is a new tech that has received a mixed welcome in the context of how it generates images by sourcing trillions of art and photography pixels. People ask me if I am afraid of being ripped off by AI and how do I feel about all the artists whose art these AI programs were trained on?

#1. As soon as an artist's work becomes digital in any format you are vulnerable and there is really no way to completely protect yourself at that point. You can copyright your art, but try to sue someone in another country.

#2. I am so utterly in competition with myself (as an artist/educator), I pay no attention to people, companies or bots using a part of my art or my style for other purposes. It is not worth my time or energy. I am too damn busy! That being said, if one of my copyrighted pieces of art was used straight up without my permission to sell a product etc. that is where I draw the line.

We are all standing on the shoulders of creative giants, AI is standing our shoulders, artists will stand on AI... it’s the history of art. 

What is the solution? Focus on making great art, all the time. Period.

Which brings me to my NEW Limited Edition Redux Print Series! 

These are existing images of mine that I bring into an AI program then brainstorm and manipulate them into alternative versions. I finalize them in Photoshop. It is a similar technique that I used when creating my "Progressions" except these spin offs become digital prints only.

I Am The Sun- Redux I

I started with my original I Am The Sun painting on canvas (below). This art was transformed into three new versions.

I Am The Sun- Redux I, II, III are celebrations of the Summer Solstice within us. When the sun rises high in the sky for the longest day of the year, we are bathed in that fierce, intense, electrifying, invigorating, exhilarating energy. These images remind us that we are an abundance of health, vitality, inspiration, and infinite spiritual potential!
