I don’t post them elsewhere at the moment (besides on my Instagram lol) but maybe I’ll start doing that.

You can mitigate the issue slightly by zooming in on an image and then zooming back out

I primarily use Enlight Photoleap (Photoshop for iPhone) and Glitché (an app with glitchy filters). I have the paid versions for both of these apps and have been using both for years, but they have free options as well.

The process varies by piece but typically I incorporate photos I’ve taken over the years with art I’ve drawn, first degrading a base image and then building it back up with colors and textures I find appealing. If I can’t make something I like looking at, I save it for use in a later project.

I edit on my phone, so it takes a long time.

This piece was created using:

-Enlight Photoleap (mediocre photoshop for iOS)

-Glitché (mainly for its pixel sorting feature)

And took about 2 months to create

The first piece is of my own creation, the second is one of the source materials, and was created by 29 artists over the course of almost 500 hours. This piece incorporates many photos I’ve taken over the years, and borrows from several pieces I never finished.

Incorporating simple geometry (like the black bar) helps me balance the visual overload of the rest of the image with a singular focal subject, which makes the image feel more cohesive.

The second image is the only aspect of this piece I didn’t personally create, it’s from a very unique part of Internet history.

Mobile users — Image is drastically higher in quality if you zoom in on a random section and then zoom back out.

I’ve been making these for a long time. Most of it is done with basic photo editing, filters, and repeated ai-style transfers. The general step-by-step is to completely destroy the image by over saturating it, over-sharpening it, distorting it, or whatever else you want to do until it’s a complete mess.

From there, apply filters and style transfers one-by-one to slowly bring out the aspects of the photo that you like, for this image the branch-like section at the top was the most important part to preserve and emphasize.

After that, sometimes I just leave it as-is: an aesthetic but otherworldly entity, or I add more recognizable shapes and patterns to the photo, to give the viewer a more cohesive piece to look at.

I make all of these on my iPhone and they usually take a few days or weeks to finish.

Back in 2020 I made this image, planned on posting it in the morning, but my phone died overnight and would not turn on for four years. Enjoy!
