Unlocking Creativity with AI: A Teaser

Hey X community,

I recently embarked on a fascinating journey with my wife, Christy Valsente, a talented glass mosaic artist working under the pseudonym Gladys Finkelstein. Faced with a challenging "Alice in Wonderland" themed mural commission from GoArt!, we turned to Generative AI to bring her vision to life.

Christy needed unique, imaginative reference material for her largest project to date. By leveraging Midjourney, a Generative AI tool, we crafted stunning digital images that she transformed into breathtaking glass mosaics. This blend of human creativity and cutting-edge technology resulted in a spectacular mural that combines the whimsy of "Alice in Wonderland" with the dreamy essence of Van Gogh's "Starry Night."

Curious about how we did it? Head over to my Substack for the full story, complete with more images documenting Christy's artistic process. Discover how AI can be a powerful ally for artists, driving innovation and unlocking new realms of creativity.

Read more about this on my very first 1st article on Substack!

@morgocomics As a recipient of your goodies I can attest to how well you care for and package everything. And I’m across the pond too, and it all gets here in pristine shape.

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country.

I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

[Ben Northern @paintmonkey]

@morgocomics It totally does. Seeing artists like you take action after all these years is beyond inspiring. 💥 Your dedication is a reminder to all of us to keep pushing forward. Can’t wait to get my hands on this collected volume of Blam & Glam! Keep rocking it. 🎨✨

@WWESheamus Your pale ass has blown out at least 2 of my TVs.

Anyway, congratulations on your 15 year anniversary.

@MTGrepp Just 3 counts. You seem to be thinking about the other guy…

[Ben Northern @paintmonkey]

@perplexity_ai that trailer…in hindsight…was that trailer AI?
Was it? I honestly am bliss on this

[Ben Northern @paintmonkey]

@thealexrossart I have a concept sketch you drew on a sheet of fax paper…maybe you sent to Todd? I’d love to know its place in the creative process of this painting.

My wife bought it as a wedding gift over 20 years ago.

I’ll post a pic when I get back home.

[Ben Northern @paintmonkey]

Doing a thing tomorrow.

Also teasing Christy’s new work while I’m here. Maybe you’ve read about it?

It’s honestly easier for me to talk about Christy than me.
