So I’ve been playing around with some of these AI art generators lately, you know, the ones that churn out images from text prompts. It’s kind of wild how good some of them are getting. My first thought was, “Great, now I can make all these cool illustrations for my personal projects without needing to…
I don’t even know where to start with this. It’s been a weird few weeks. I was trying to put together a short video for my sister’s birthday, something simple just to share online. I’ve never really done video editing before, just used the basic Windows video editor that comes with it, you know, the…
I’ve always admired those super detailed, almost realistic colored pencil illustrations you see online. They look so effortless, like the artist just woke up and decided to draw a perfect apple.

I’ve been thinking about getting some sort of certification in computer graphics for a while now. It feels like a good way to put a stamp on whatever skills I’ve picked up.

I was looking into ways to change the background of photos and thought, ‘Maybe Gemini can do this easily.’ I’d seen some articles mentioning AI image generation, and it sounded like it could replace Photoshop for simple things like this. I mostly wanted to change the background of some travel photos I took to something…
Why I Decided to Make an Illustrated Book Honestly, the initial spark wasn’t some grand artistic vision. It was more practical. I’d been doing freelance illustration for a few years, mostly small gigs for blogs or social media. The pay was okay, but it felt… disposable. Clients would ask for a few images, I’d deliver,…
I’ve been working in the game development space for about seven years now, mostly on the art and asset pipeline side. Lately, there’s been a ton of buzz, especially around Nvidia’s DLSS 5 and similar AI-driven graphics technologies.

Hiring an agency to run Instagram ads felt like the obvious next step when my small online shop’s sales plateaued. I’d spent hours tweaking product photos, writing witty captions, and even trying a few DIY boosted posts, but nothing really moved the needle.
