News about what’s happening with WEBmadman

Finally, A New Post

Still trying to get some kind of posting workflow happening, very much a work in progress.

I’ve been down the AI rabbit hole with Stable Diffusion, using the AUTOMATIC1111 script- keeps things relatively easy to set up and update. What’s fascinated me most is the animation extension, Deforum. I’ve created a new Youtube channel for the experiments-

There’s also some folders in my Junk Drawer-

I just finished this video for my main Youtube channel-

In putting the video together, and other exploring, I generated large number of images. I wanted to share a few here. The captions are the artists I prompted.

John William Waterhouse
Egon Schiele
Austin Osman Spare
Norman Rockwell

I’ll. hopefully, be posting more. Maybe dive into the workflow of these things.

A quick note on what’s to come

It has been a while since my last posting- things are finally starting to settle in after some much needed work on the back end of the server my site is on. So onward and upward!

There’s a new part of The Dream percolating in my brain, so that should be popping up soon.

Spring has sprung and I’ve been reconnecting with my camera.

At some point I’m going to be doing a post about Evolvotron (https://sourceforge.net/projects/evolvotron/). You can check out some of the things I’ve made with it on my Diaspora* profile- https://diasp.org/people/89b2dc1028d50132232400259069449e/photos

I’ve set up a profile on itch.io- https://webmadman.itch.io/ I will be putting more experiments up as they emerge.
