This seems culturally appropriative to me. You're using the stereotype of the "mystical" Native American medicine man, exaggerating the drug use. I saw your post above and I understand what you are saying about everyone's "medicine man" but they way you use it on the shirt seems somewhat disrespectful to Native American culture.
I the work itself is amazing. You definitely made it your own with the psychedelic elements and I love the pattern work. I just question some of the content.

They all were about children commiting suicide. (And one little section about a pig that was kind of a cute story) The play is rather poetic but dark. I spent one evening doing it. I drank a whole bottle of wine and listened to Massive Attack the whole time. I felt sick, especially one with a small baby boy who is sleeping, dead, on a pillow in the middle of a frozen lake. I would post them here but I am afraid they might offend too much, which isn't the point. I did just upload them to my Behance portfolio, though not all of them. Some are only for the live play. Cheers! https://www.behance.net/gallery/Pillow-Man-/15987387
If I recall, this guy is Martín De Pasquale and does some pretty amazing pics.
Edit: Here's an imgur album of some of his work
Fun fact, the original is "Icefields" by "Ryan Schroeder" which can be found here and it's a picture of mount Athabaska in Jasper
Quality extrapolation, thanks for the insight. The reason a mirror is not the same thing is due to the phase space (recording apparatus) and time lag between the reflection-loop. There is the state vector of the input image (consensus, real-time reality [statue]) and the state vector of the output image (digital, TV reflection[statue image]).
In the central nervous system, this is known as axonal conduction delay.
This one's tricky to find - but here is Winterland '78, which I assume is the Winterland you guys are talking about.
Not to discourage you from buying the album though! This show's of a quality that deserves to be owned officially, that's for sure.

This piece is by Chieko Minowa (or potentially the other way around). Her website seems to be down (blacklisted due to spyware distribution, apparently) but I managed to find this tumblr with some of her other works: https://www.tumblr.com/search/chieko%20minowa
A google search for her name returns quite a lot of heavy stuff.
hey thank you! this is an edit of this picture from stock photographer engin akyurt. i like the safety pins a lot they're the whole reason why i made this picture

I have a super old live wallpaper for Android that draws this. I haven't seen it in the play store for years (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.hermit.substrate) but I keep copying it to new phones.
I love this! Google Images seems to place it as alejandro jodorowsky... there is some weirdness to be found in that part of the internet for certain.
If you want to paint a photo-realistic portrait of a pear, you can just go buy a pear and look at it.
I intended 'photo-realistic' to mean:
realism in painting characterized by extremely meticulous depiction of detail
The photo-realistic portraits of birds caused some gallery-goers to forget that they were looking at paintings.

Have fun with that.

Thanks for the great post. I did a project on GANs this summer but haven't delved into the StyleGAN yet. They seem like a really powerful tool. If I manage to delve into the math next week I can definitely keep you posted on what I learn, if you like.
Can you explain the following paragraph?
"Now that the model is trained, I have a ubuntu box hooked up to a 2070 which allows you to actually run the model in runwayML with your own computing resources so that you don't have to pay them any money for cloud services. THESE would be closer to actually generative images in my understanding and its fun to move through the latent space and see how forms adapt."
What's the benefit of using runwayML if you're just using your own graphics card anyway? And why would you be getting more "generative" images from your computer? (I'm not even sure what that means.)
Can you go into a bit more detail about the small-scale artifacts? I know a big issue with GANs circa 2018 (I don't know about the current state-of-the-art) is the existence of checkerboard artifacts (because of the way transpose-convolution works out). However, thispersondoesnotexist.com seems not to feature any such artifacts, so I assumed the StyleGAN ironed them out.
The latent space walkthrough was really marvelous to look at. Did you just, like, interpolate in a straight line, or did you curve it in some nontrivial way?
Thanks for watching and for the feedback, glad you like it! Check the youtube channel for more videos by the same director :)
I've just made the track used in the second half of the video available for download here: https://soundcloud.com/doctea/phatty
If you'd like the whole soundtrack let me know and I'll upload it for you.
Just had a look at your oil paintings for sale - great stuff! Whereabouts are you based? I have a friend who runs an art gallery in the West Midlands, maybe you'd be interested in exhibiting?
I randomly found this artist by reverse image searching an ad thumbnail who probably stole it cause it was pretty. But his WikiArt page has a ton of surreal, religious, political, and earthly themed paintings. Actually, I kinda wish I posted this one instead, probably my favorite of his.
Timothy Leary also wrote a book, called the psychedelic experience, a "manual based on the book of the dead".
The one titled "Timenaut Male" looks familiar.
I sure haven't! I'm pretty durn poor, so these are made with Pilot P-500 pens and printer paper.
I'm unfamiliar with prints, though - what would you say is the appeal in prints that makes it a desired medium for this sort of art?
