Live Wildly

Live Wildly is an organization devoted to protecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor. In 2021, they held an online challenge to paint a simple manatee to raise awareness to their cause. I took the manatee and started working on painting it with AI. This turned into one of the most fun collaborations with the AI.

I asked for something, like - 'an image of the florida wildlife corridor', and would get something amorphous, maybe with some trees, fish, etc. Eventually, an image appeared that had a nice perspective, showing islands above the water, fish under the water, and a city in the distance.

I took that and started to refine it, changing the structure and adding more details as I went. This resulted in this work, which also won that online challenge and was presented during Miami Art Week.
