My duties as Director of Marketing & Communication for the Alliance have kept me busy lately. To balance that work, and the stress that job hunting brings, I’ve also been making a lot of artwork.

The Jellyfish & Pop Culture Series

Below is the Wicked Jelly of the West that I made in procreate and then animated on my iPhone with a fun app (paid) called MotionLeap.

I have been exploring graphic and design programs since Print Shop on the Commodore 64. Lately, though, a breakthrough has been made in technology that has blown my mind like no other.

There are many Google Colabs out there that use artificial intelligence, advanced mathematics, and other generative methods of using technology, programming, and neural networks to make artwork.
