New Drawing Class

Amazing news. The people from The Halley, a creative work space, reached out to us to do a life drawing collaboration at their venue. So I am delighted to announce that beginning in August we will run another weekly drawing class. It occurs every Wednesday, from 6:30-8:30p at the Halley offices in Haggerston, overlooking the canal. (The studio is above Cafe Route) Our maiden session is on August 5th, come and say hello.

All of these images were generated by artificial intelligence. Each one was created in under 5 seconds and attempts to mimic my style. This is AI-generated art, and it’s quite astounding. In this experiment, I collected two sets of drawings, each representing a particular style, and uploaded them to a website. The site ingested the original images and analyzed their characteristics—a process known as machine learning. Each image is processed through an interconnected web of mathematical equations, most commonly referred to as a neural network (often mistakenly called “the algorithm”). This initial step trains the network to emulate my style. The learning process took about half an hour per set (I’m not sure exactly, as it happened overnight) ... (continue reading)
