Last week I sat down with The AZ Insider for their Mission Monday column, and the piece ran on the front page this Monday. Read the full interview: theazinsider.com/mission-mond... Portrait by Daniel Koeth, Marfa, TX (2024).

Day 183 #DailyMuse (The End?) Six months of making art every day. This has been an incredibly rewarding experiment. Today's piece looks deceptively simple, but is actually comprised of at least three overlays, plus multiple edits. I also made an alternate version.

000

TheBenMeadows @thebenmeadows.com · 15/07/2024

Day 182 #DailyMuse This is a combination of a photograph overlaid with an AI generated image based on the same photograph. The coloring comes from using an algorithm to highlight the differences between the two photos.

000

TheBenMeadows @thebenmeadows.com · 13/07/2024

Day 181 #DailyMuse I couldn't decide if I prefer the grayscale or color version: two very different aesthetics. Which one is your favorite?

000

TheBenMeadows @thebenmeadows.com · 11/07/2024

Day 179 #DailyMuse Today's piece is the original photo I used as reference for my largest fully on-chain piece (to date), "entropy." It's interesting to see the two pieces side-by-side, as they each have their own unique feel, while still expressing the same basic concept.

Throwback: #DailyMuse Day 4 January 18, 2024 I love the sense of scale in this piece: an airplane is in the upper left quadrant, while a person stands in the lower right.

TheBenMeadows @thebenmeadows.com · 08/07/2024

Day 176 #DailyMuse Don't forget to have fun creating art. Today's piece was inspired by the recent meme coin frenzy, along with the absurdity of American politics. "Donald Pepe Obama" Created using multiple programs to generate, upscale, and edit the constituent images.

TheBenMeadows @thebenmeadows.com · 06/07/2024

Day 174 #DailyMuse I had some fun with today's piece. Using multiple programs and algorithms, I combined a stylized version of yesterday's piece with a version of the UFO from my Solana edition, "Dark Tidings."

Day 173 #DailyMuse I made two pieces for today. The first piece is a photograph I took at sunset last night. The second piece is based on a collage I made of the same photo combined with some old fireworks photos, which I then ran through a couple of AI algorithms.
