I was listening to music and started pondering the phrase "either/or". It's a funny idiom, since "either" and "or" have similar meanings. #drawing #fineart #art #figurativeart

I recently got a beautiful set of colored pencils and took them for a test drive in this #drawing. #fineart #art #figurativeart

This #drawing includes Morse code and has two orientations. #fineart #art #figurativeart

Are subatomic particles analog or digital? #drawing #fineart #art #figurativeart

This #drawing was mainly inspired by primary colors plus green. There's a "bad" musical pun in this one. #fineart #art #figurativeart

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

This #drawing was inspired by thoughts of the movie The Last Temptation of Christ and the story of the burning bush. #fineart #art #figurativeart

I was thinking about modern physics in this #drawing, inspired by a video interview with the world's smartest human. #fineart #art #figurativeart

I found some oil pastels and had fun smearing them around in this #drawing. #fineart #art #figurativeart

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

I was thinking about the movie The Thin Red Line when #drawing this one. #fineart #art #figurativeart

Once in a while, I feel like #drawing a flower. #fineart #art #figurativeart

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

This #drawing is probably my least favorite of the recent work, but it does reflect how I was feeling when I did it. #fineart #art #figurativeart

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

I recently started #drawing again, trying to find 1 hour a day. I'm returning to my style from the mid to late '90s, working this way seems to be like exercise for my brain. #fineart #art #figurativeart

An #aiart series derived from an AI description of a real-world painting that includes collaged AI art. I had to change the prompt quite a bit before I got something I liked. Here's the painting I started with: https://t.co/49lWV3WPzO

More #aiart derived from a description of an old drawing, focusing on the phrase "between a rock and a hard place".

#aiart series using a prompt derived from an AI description of one of my very old drawings, circa 1995: https://t.co/AUMEeg4msa. I'm surprised by some of the artist influences that emerged - Dali and Miro - they weren't referenced in the prompts, and neither was surrealism.

Another #aiart series evolving the prompts from yesterday's post.

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

A few more #aiart "paintings" using prompts that started out as AI descriptions of one of my real-world paintings. Some of the prompts included phrases like "in the style of expressive oil studies, city portraits, blink-and-you-miss-it detail, plein air scenes".

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

#aiart "paintings" inspired by some of my favorite painters like Jenny Saville, I think she exerted the most influence over the AI, but there are other artists in there ;-)

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

#aiart series using a variety of keywords in the prompts, but focused on wabi sabi, defined on Wikipedia as "a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection." It's really interesting that the people aren't the usual "beautiful" figures that AI defaults to.

[David Van Everen @DavidVanEveren]

This latest real-world #acrylic #painting is derived from an iterative process of: 1) asking AI to describe one of my paintings, 2) using that description to generate an image of a painting, and 3) using that image as a source for a new painting. https://t.co/9Q8J87RzfS
