## Content

There are lots of artists out there who work very hard on their work. Then there are those who type a few words into an AI, and mint whatever comes out. My final works often look like they’re solid AI. But they are not. Here’s my process:Create a sketch, photograph, or 3d model I then take this original material and twerk it with an app like photoshop, until I get it exactly how I like Next, I input this image into an AI, and spend hours playing with the settings until I get an image I like Now, I go back to a photo editing program, and make small corrections and adjustments. I add text if necessary, frames, borders, that sort of thing The image is ready to mint For every image I offer for mint, I spend hours, over several days getting it to something that I’m really happy with.
