iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Don’t get me wrong I have artist friends who are partnering with AI to make imagery that really speaks to their inner landscape. As a whole though, this pretty much illustrates my enthusiasm level when I discover an image or video is generated rather than crafted through years of skill & practice

Back during the pandemic lockdown, I created a Patreon site as a way to open up my studio for like-minded folks interested in chatting about concept design, theme parks, and virtual reality tech so we can hang out and chat.

When you are old enough to remember riding the "Knott's Bear-y Tales" attraction, but too young to have worked on it. The next best thing is to sketch some of your favorite details from Chris Merritt and J. Eric Lynxwiler wonderful book! Thanks guys!

Over Christmas I shared a stack of the doodles I do on scraps of little brown paper. My good friend Joe Lanzisero commented, “You should make a book of those”, so that is what I did! If you are interested, you can find my little book of desktop sketches on Amazon at for $15.: a.co/d/4I10xVc

Some lovely screenshots of the final Viva Las Elvis course for @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social. This was our chance to play with a more dreamlike landscape rather than attempt to recreate a physical retro Vegas alone!

I had to escape the madness of X, hoping to find saner community here. To start, a very old concept sketch run through NewArc.ai
