So I suppose the first thing to talk about is I feel that there is some success, some momentum perhaps with my adventure in selling online. I’ve made a few sales in etsy, the tracking isnt very good so thank you to all that might have bought from coming here. I think that momentum is a better way to think of it since the sales are low, but moving. I don’t have the reviews but hopefully that will come. I enjoy the process, some it is repetitive, making mockups, thinking about titles and that. I thought I might be able to leave a lot of that to AI but it isnt that good if I’m honest, or at least I’m not good enough to get it to understand me, textually.
I cant upload a video unfortunately, perhaps I’ll add one to youtube and embed it but I haven’t thought that far ahead right now. Essentially I was going to show a video of me excitedly sending out prints but not to worry.
Something a bit of a personal nature I suppose. I’ve been out this weekend with some friends, had some beer and whiskey, taken the time off if you like. It’s good for the soul if you ask me.
And finally, some understanding.
I make images and don’t really know how to describe them for selling online sometimes, its all well and good using keywords like Wall Art or Home Decor but for a picture like this, I just dont know.
Now this is of course still an AI generated image but I have asked it to create a watercolour style landscape, and an abstract image, and combined further a image in pink and teal, so there are many things going on here that I have described to the AI multiple times. So for something like this, and yes perhaps someone could come up with in a single prompt, but I’ve taken elements of a few different things and combined them until I have something that I am looking for.
From my own experience I would talk about this in the abstract natural style, I think of it a dreamy landscape suggesting summer near a lake with a mountain in the background. At the same time, as you might expect, it represents an unclear future with obstacles on either side of what could be a very peaceful and serene experience. AI, at least AI questions I’m asking, doesn’t seem to understand this, I cant get it to understand that, so perhaps its seeing of “my style” was a fluke? Perhaps “in my own style” is limited to photography since there is significantly more of that “out there”. I suppose the old adage applied, the more I know, the less I understand!
Anyhow, I’ll take more pictures of beer next time! There are a couple over on my instagram @dgtlartbyjason if you are in the neighbourhood but for now ttfn. 🙂
As always, be happy and have a great day!
