If you’ve been around for a while, you may know of my brand @pjclub.world I put it down for an indefinite nap a while ago but I still dream of everything I want to create.
Technology is weird! I can use it to bring my ideas to life exactly how I imagine, but can I manifest into the material world? Only time will tell I suppose, for now enjoy what’s going on in my head.
“Drunk” 2025 oil on canvas
Beauty is currency on a buy now pay later credit system. We teach this to children. If you see me at Sephora, yes you did - I’ll be dodging the 10 year olds.
And I have to be honest, I made this painting using AI. I trained a model on my work and prompted it based on the previous sentiments to see what would happen.
This happened. A bastard.
Do we prescribe artistic validity only when the full output is from the human mind? Is it wrong to take inspiration from the computer when the majority of inspiration that I see comes from my screen?
I feed it my world and it spits out my words. It gives me something I wish I had made, but never could without me. So, I birth it into the physical world - a creature of its own design where I am the only muse. I am part of the machine.
Maybe I’m a fool, but I’m tired of taking. Maybe this is my chance to give the computer something of itself. Maybe if it’s real, it’s not a bastard anymore.
My mommy - I love you more than words can express
And my mommy’s mommy
And my mommy’s mommy’s mommy
And my daddy’s mommy
My heart is swollen with the love I carry for these women, past and present all at once.
Happiest mother day I love you all, ESPECIALLY MY MOMMY
