I took thousands of images of fire and a thousand of nude paintings and trained a StyleGAN3 model.

My example. I built a display where my photos were on View Masters. The display reflected the nature of the photos.
The Golden Toilet Paper Roll. Made out of a a toilet paper roll soaked in resin and spray painted gold. Maybe I should make a bunch of these. I think I will. 1/100
That time I made giant retro 3D prints. Love to visit the world of vintage and bring it into the present whet creating.
I wanted to make a piece that gave the feel of street art so I added texture to the surface & wheat pasted the photo image on top of it. I added a few layers and this is where I landed. The piece is much better in person as you can better experience all the textures and layers.

His name is Orvel, he is from Memphis.
Here is an example of an alternative photographic development process. In the darkroom I beant the photo paper so that the light hit the paper unevenly giving this falling off effect on the side. No photoshop here this was all in darkroom.
Here is a still frame from my VHS self portrait video series Millennial. Anyone else working with VHS?
How much can you do with a photocopier. Alot apparently.
That time I presented my BARE USA photo collection on vintage view masters in custom boxes.
Here are some samples of the AI art collection I'm putting together. It's going to be huge. Many characters for the FBI to profile.
What do you all make of these 3D collage masks?
AN alternative art/photo process I have been enjoying is Cyanotype. Basically you coat a surface with this light sensitive chemical and expose it to UV light. The parts exposed to the light stay and the rest washes away. It's pretty cool to see the images come to life. Here is an example. Anyone else into Cyanotype?
I've been using a photocopy machine to make weird portraits of people. The results are pretty awesome. I didn't know you could do so much with a photocopier until I just kept trying stuff one day and the vwalah, magic appears.
