“Still Waters, Smokestacks” New experiments, old textures. I’ve been quietly designing a custom woodcut diffusion model, then merging it with layers from a vintage collage model. It’s a bit like wandering through a town that only exists in the space between history and imagination...industrial skylines, quiet fields, reflections that feel etched rather than painted. I took a break from posting to focus on print and course launches, and they went incredibly well...thanks to all of you. Truly. Feels good to be back at the workbench. #woodcutart #aicollage #diffusionmodels #printmakerstyle #experimentalillustration #nostalgicfutures #imagecrafting #stevemcdonald #woodcutstyle #diffusionart #illustration #modernprintmaking #aiexperiments #oldmeetsnew #digitalillustration #digitalwoodcut #digitalart #aiart #traditionalart
