The images below all involve AI in their creation, with different techniques and degrees of dependence. I see it as crucial to follow AI developments as an artist, both to explore what AI can offer and to assess its potential existential threat. I think of this work more as visual and technological research than as art.
Set 1. These images use the 6.1v of Midjourney. They are AI texture edits applied to a structural framework of images I have constructed digitally using Illustrator, Photoshop, photography, and digital painting. Note that each row of three shares a common underlying structure.

Set 2. The images below have been digitally manipulated in a variety of ways to expand upon and humanize typical AI imagery. For example, image 1 has been constructed by pasting generated foregrounds into a different generated background. Image 2 combines surfaces that are made in photoshop with generated imagery. Images 3 - 5 are intensive reworks and digital drawing combined with AI image making. The remaining images in Set 2 are the result of layering and combining AI generated surfaces with Photoshop.
Set 3. The images below were created using large language model (LLM) image generation techniques, combining both text and image blending. The source material for these AI compositions comes from my own personal photographs and original compositions.
Set 4. This group of images is from text input alone into Midjourney.
