Reflecting Our Stories (part 2) 

Every piece we place on our walls is a thoughtful commentary, a quiet declaration of personal ethos, humor, irony, or curiosity. I'm exploring the sophisticated exchanges between viewer and artwork, dissecting how our chosen visuals reflect our complexities and contradictions.

*My illustrations are created with my own custom diffusion models, MJ moodboards, SD/MJ ai rendering, and my own painting, rendering, touch-ups, and assemblage in Photoshop. Custom textures. Custom effects. Custom filters from Topaz Studio... blah blah blah. My own unique mix of analog, digital, and diffusion(ai) techniques.
