My GPU is Working Overtime

I recently got my hands on a new model called FLUX, and it’s been a game-changer. The quality and creativity it brings to my work is phenomenal. But, there’s a catch: it devours GPU power and demands significantly more time to render each piece. Despite this, the results are well worth the extra effort.

I’m always refining, testing, and learning when it comes to making art. While most people think AI art is just a simple one-click button to make something perfect, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Creating professional AI art, as it stands now, requires a blend of skills: graphic design, prompt engineering, color grading, understanding composition, the ability to fix flaws, and spending countless hours learning, experimenting and rendering. It’s not just about pushing a button; it’s about knowing which button to push and when to push it.

And let’s not forget the various software that needs to be used, model experimentation, and training, each with its own methods, plus the endless amount of time spent on trial and error. It’s a lot of work that goes into creating “AI Art.”

I love making images that are thought-provoking, make people laugh, evoke emotions, or are just plain interesting. In a world where anyone can render AI art, I strive to be unique, humorous, and thought-provoking. For now, I want to share some of my recent artwork. Enjoy the images and remember, behind each piece is a whole lot of behind-the-scenes magic.

I was inspired by Banksy’s Art, and wanted to make this for a while now. It does not have the meaning you think it does. 

This was difficult to make and came out much better than I thought possible.

I’ve been playing a lot of “Ghost of Tsushima” and was inspired to make this.
