I never thought I would do it, venture into the world of AI image creation. After all, I’m an artist. I’ve been working on my skills for a lifetime. And now AI comes along and all that goes to waste? Nah, not really.

The AI I’m using is Midjourney. It takes some time to figure out how to access the AI (via Discord), but, once you get it all set up, it’s easy. Then it becomes a matter of being able to communicate with the AI to have it produce the best results.

If these seem random, that’s where I’m at right now. The Instagram page will be themed. It’s called CoffeeShop.AI. If you go there as of the date of this posting, you’ll find nothing. It’s brand new. However, if you’re reading this sometime in the future, I may have pics posted. Let me know what you think!
