Flat Depth

“Flat Depth” is a further development of yesterday’s work. I have manually filled the areas with flat colors and experimented with depth of field. 

Available as a #cryptoart #nft at my Opensea store.

Colors spark Emotions

My #dailyart 005 of 2021 is a colorful drawing, that I created in Photoshop using my Wacom graphics tablet. In the next step I have run it through a Picasso #stylegan model. 

You can bid on it at my Opensea store:

Homeless

My #dailyart 004 of 2021 deals with my current situation. It is based on a digital drawing I created in Photoshop. In a second step I have run variations of it through the stylized-neural-painting #AI model at RunwayML.com, upscaled the frames with Gigapixel AI and animated the results using PicGIF.

You can make me an offer on the #nft at my Opensea-store.

On the other Hand

At the third day of my 2021 #dailyart challenge I started using some colors. I also experimented with different #ai style-transfer models. 

The unique #NFT is available for bidding at Opensea:

Living my Dream

Made using a single pencil brush in Photoshop. Available for bidding at my opensea-store:

The World is Confusing

While the world is made up of many different levels of perception, which intersect and overlap, it is increasingly difficult to see the big picture.

At night you are less distracted by bright colors and it is easier to see the patterns and connections. Therefore this work of art automatically changes to day or night mode every 12 hours.

The work is part of my series of digital remasters of my old drawings. It is based on a drawing from 1990, that I digitally recreated by accurately following the lines using a graphics drawing tablet before I filled the shapes with single colors.

You can also place an offer at AsyncArt.

Adaptive Style Club

The work is based on a monochrome digital drawing, that has alternately been run through an artificial “adaptive style transfer” process using the “Picasso style checkpoint” of RunwayML and manually amplified and extended by adding new layers of lines by the artist.

Or buy this work directly at SuperRare.

The Devil’s in the Details

Being part of my series of digital remakes of 30 year old drawings, the original drawing is one of my favorite early works, in which I expressed my love for detail as well as the danger of losing myself in that same. Besides its complexity, the work also shows how everything is connected with everything.

You can view the original drawing on Codex.

Although I gifted this work to one of my most supportive collectors, you can try to place a bid on SuperRare, that he won’t be able to decline.

Tainted Love

Another digital remaster of a doodle, I originally created in 1990 around a coffee stain on a piece of paper. Everything else was just one line leading to another.

Also available for bidding on SuperRare.

Basta

In the search for my signature-style, I recently started to digitally remaster my sketches and drawings from 30 years ago.

The source of this work is taken from my favourite sketchbook from 1990 and I remember, that I created it shortly after I saw “The Mystery of Picasso” for the first time in the cinema.

Mind Puzzle

Life is a big puzzle game made up of many different events and experiences, some of which are interrelated and overlap. The more experiences we gather, the more complex and colorful the overall picture becomes.

But over time, the perception, emotional coloring and evaluation of different events and memories changes. Some things we may remember only vaguely after a while.

Thus, the inner thought puzzle of each individual constantly reflects life and yet is greater than the sum of its parts.

The work has been created as part of a conversation with my younger self and the search for my signature style, that I started in July 2020.

It is based on a ballpen drawing from about 1990, that I digitally recreated by accurately following the lines using a graphics drawing tablet. Next I filled the shapes with digital colors before I finally decided to split the work into several puzzle-pieces, that can be independently change hue or alternatively display the outlines to turn it into an interactive AsyncArt work.

Read the background story of all the different puzzle-pieces here!

You can also bid on the master and all the different puzzle pieces at AsyncArt.

Up to Something

This colorful work was created in July 2020 shortly after I had realized, that digitally drawings are part of my signature-style.

Also available for bidding at Rarible.

Cheer up!

The world can be confusing and exhausting at times, so it is all the more important to rest occasionally and find your center again. This work is another digital remaster of one of my drawings from 30 years ago. The source of this work comes from my favorite sketchbook from 1990.

Also available for bidding at SuperRare.

Gas prices are killing me

This artwork is both the result of the high gas prices on the Ethereum blockchain and my search for a signature style in July 2020.

Available in an edition of 1/10 at KnownOrigin.

Independence

A digitally remastered version of an analog oil pastels drawing, that I created on July, 4th 2017. The original title of the work has been “Neat Freak”, but I decided to rename it according to the historic date, it had been created on. You can see the original source at my Hive post.

Available in an edition of 1/10 at Makersplace. 

999

A digital remaster of an original drawing by the artist from September 1999 (hence the name).

Available in an edition of 1/3 at KnownOrigin.

Con-Vincent

The work is part of my series of Vincent van Gogh remakes and expresses my deep connection with him. With the help of my signature technique, I dissected the original into its individual brushstrokes and transformed them into mosaic-like color fields. The result makes the incredibly vivid movements that are present in the original visible and even amplifies them.

Glitch Art Nouveau

A series of glitch-art reinterpretations of a (public domain) vintage nude photography. Work #194 in 2019.

Available at MakersPlace. 

Here are some variations:

To the Moon!

This is my first experiment of embedding a Bitcoin wallet inside an animated gif using steganography.

The owner will be able to extract the private key of the wallet loaded with 0.02 BTC. The public address of the wallet is: 13P3m4paqsBRSUWogY74QLSFfJMFXwx4yq

The collector can use Terminal to extract the key like so “unzip 2Moon.gif”. Windows users can also use WinRAR to decompress the zip (just rename the gif to zip upfront).

To prevent the funds from being stolen, the buyer will need a password to unzip. This will be sent to the buyers Eth-address as an encrypted message using Mailchain. Alternatively I can send the password over Keybase chat (I’m shortcut there as well).

Please make yourself familiar with the required tools before bidding.

The work is also available at SuperRare.

Fly Files

My first solo-artwork at the revolutionary #cryptoart platform AsyncArt. 

Asynchronous Art is an experimental art movement born out of the question “what does art look like when it can be programmed?” What if art could evolve over time, react to its owners, or pull data from the outside world? It’s time to find out what’s possible when modern art takes full advantage of the digital medium.

“The work deals both with the question of the ethical limits and dangers of scientific research (as in the film “The Fly”), the philosophical and sociological consequences of a transformation (as in Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis”), and not least with the question of what actually distinguishes us humans from insects.”

Above is just one of countless combinations, here are some more.

The respective owners of the different layers will be able to control the background, body and head states. The latter can even scale, rotate and change the position of the “Fly Files” heads.
