When I say “enhance” photography using AI, I don’t mean upscaling, color correction, or anything like that. No, in this case, I’m instead using it to help me rescue an old photo that was perfect, aside from 2 failures when shooting. 8 years ago I came up with a promotional concept for my next blues ...

2 new releases are finally available for everybody, instead of just for Patreon subscribers (you did check out my Patreon, right?). Get them both at Pain Propaganda here. Suffer My Love is the remastering of the old, old tune by the same name, and is available on numerous platforms for you to enjoy. My Survivor ...

One of my passions as an artist is to embrace all the “happy little accidents”: The seemingly random accidents that end up creating something uniquely attractive.
