Electric Sheep is a digital painting project born from the feeling of helplessness I'd get whenever I'd see one of those (increasingly common) uncanny AI generated images in a place where a meme, photo, or yes, actual human-made art could have been used. That plus the realization that, hey - if the AI can steal our ideas, we can steal theirs. In light of this information, I've decided to paint my own versions of the strangest, most hallucinatory visions from the dreaming "minds" of generative AI (found in the wild, as I don't use these programs myself). And what do androids dream of? Electric sheep, of course!

Check out the gallery below. It's just Kevin for now, but he'll have friends soon! Tip: You can click on a piece to see it side-by-side with the AI-generated image it was inspired by (link opens the project's Tumblr in a new tab).
