“When I started seeing Midjourney / DALL-E 3 stuff, I was terrified. I thought it was the end of illustration, the end of design… and then a friend of mine started showing it to me, and I input some pictures of my old paintings. It became a very exciting way of iterating on an idea”
“I can send my imagery to a website, access that website through the VR goggles, and I can grab them and position them anywhere I want. So I kind of put them right in front of the painting, and then I can trace parts of that image, layer another image on top, and do the same thing.””
“AI needs artists to shape it, to guide it, to create workflows, and to use it. It’s so formulaic now, and every once in awhile you’ll see something that’s like, ‘Whoa! What is that?’ And it’s some creative director who’s experimenting and doing really, really cool stuff. So [AI} needs that.”
