Confused On An Unimaginable Level | A Mixed Media Art Project

Sometimes it feels as though no matter what you do or how you go about it, a situation will fail to turn out successfully. That's how I've been feeling the past few months. I've noticed it in my mixed media art projects the tendency to turn inward and pour out the dark and dramatic.

I share with you another project I recently completed. Those eyes are mine as I try to figure out what the heck is going on and how can I snap out of it!

I love mixing mixed media art images. I feel the results are fascinating in the variety of ways the scenes can be portrayed. From light to dark and everything in between, I've discovered content is similar and blend well together.

In this project, I decided to utilize a stable diffusion image from one of the programs I use, StarryAI to represent a man's face. For the landscape, I used a generative art image from Nvidia Gaugan.

I also include two important pure fractals that added texture to the scene.

StarryAI Text input:
"Am I nothing in the future but a tangles mass of thoughts and eyes in this humanoid body."

Style: Lyra
Iterations: 50
Seed: 2718430098

StarryAI Result:

This generative art program produces lovely landscape images.

To blend the images, I uploaded all into Canva, my design program. Below are my procedures.

To a blank, white canvas, I added my generative art purple landscape image.

I think we all feel that way from time to time... but it's probably more severe for creatives! Keep up the great work. I think this turned out successfully!

I was hoping to. Sometimes it's hit and miss. I'm pleased you found this one to your liking. I appreciate your support. Take care and have a good rest of your week.

It's interestimg this is posdible,yesterday I asked my child if photos can be uploaded and used/mixed. She didn't know but you answered the questiin although it's abracadabra to me.

This is the paid version? You make a lot of this art? I like it!

Hello. To answer your question...yes, I make a lot of collages for the Let's Make a Collage Community. Then I love creating mixed media art pieces and publish them in Alien Art Hive. They take time to produce, but I love doing it and can barely concentrate on my freewriting.

The program CANVA is actually free. I upgraded to take advantage of the pro tools available such as background removal. Before I upgraded, I would have had to search for a separate background removal program.

Or, you can use Photoshop, but it's not a free program. A free similar version is ProCreate, I believe.

Canva is easy to use with its free features. Just upload all the photos you want to use, including those from free sites, such as Pixabay. Just source the photos in your post like I do.

I also create and design fractals. The fractal images can be rendered on a transparent background within the fractal rendering program. I use Apophysis 2.09 and the upgraded version 7X.

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.

You are getting to that Edgar Allen Poe level of evocative art ... which may or may not be of comfort to you! Loved it!

Thanks so much for your lovely compliment for my project. The more I experiment, the more I find new avenues to explore and attempt to bend to my will.

I truly appreciate your visit and support.

It was great to see things like this and a lot of effort goes into combining the images to create a special image.

I can agree with you @djbravo. I do put a lot of effort into my mixed media art projects hoping they turn out nicely and are well received. I'm pleased you liked this particular project. Blending the images are sometimes hit and miss as often they might not mix well, and I have to start over.

Thanks for your visit, engagement, and support. I appreciate it.
