Wow! All of these images were generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) courtesy of Pete Linforth, an artist in the United Kingdom.

Pete says:

“I have created Digital Art going way back in the 1980’s when rendering a small resolution image would take over 24 hours! Now these things are done in seconds. I also doodle with black ink pens.”

“I’ve used AI pretty much as it came out into the market place. Basic AI has been around for many years, but recently of course there are hundreds of tools anyone can get into easily. I like the fact that someone with no experience at creating art manually can now create images from their imagination, that’s a great way to bring creativity to the masses. I tend to mainly use Leonardo, it’s a feature rich tool that is growing in popularity and new features are added on a regular basis.”

“Some personal inspirations are Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Escher, Rothko and Emin. Each have their unique view of the world and each had a major influence on my style and general images I like.”

Thank you, Pete! These images are whimsical and fascinating!
