“In a nutshell, it’s an image created by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. In recent developments, the AI learns the visual structure, style, and text labels for a lot of images. Then upon receiving a text prompt can generate a new image.”
 – Shlomi Ron

Artificial intelligence images. Text to image generation.



My latest passion is "text to art" using artificial intelligence generators. Looking forward to the time when thoughts can render art without the use of traditional media. In my old age I will be able to continue to create without tools; just with my mind. I now spend my time imagining imagery in my mind that I cannot create using traditional methods. The future is "mind to art" artificial intelligence.
“For more than 250 years the fundamental drivers of economic growth have been technological innovations. The most important of these are what economists call general-purpose technologies — a category that includes the steam engine, electricity, and the internal combustion engine. The most important general-purpose technology of our era is artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning.”
—Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, 2018

Hidden knowledge.


The dragon is a symbol of evil, in both the chivalric and Christian traditions. In the Orient, it symbolizes supernatural power, wisdom, strength, and hidden knowledge. In most traditions, it is the embodiment of chaos and untamed nature.

Don't count your chickens.


"People who count their chickens before they are hatched act very wisely because chickens run about so absurdly that it is impossible to count them accurately."

- Oscar Wilde.

Head with steel worm.

The (Gun) Worm that Turns

Soldiers once used “gun worms,” metal claws mounted to the end of wooden ramrods, to clear bullets and wadding from the barrels of muskets that had failed to fire. The curled tip inspired the winding shape of a corkscrew, once known as a steel worm.

During one of my treks through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew.

We were compelled to live on food and water for several days.

From the expanse of space to the microscopic view of structures.

The primary influence on my work is the natural world, from the expanse of space to the microscopic view of structures.  I am not interested in reproducing what I see. Instead I am seeking a way to go beyond the world  of nature and into the place between what we can see and what we cannot.

My interest, at either end of this spectrum of this reality, continues to feed my imagination.
