AI Tribute to Divine Nine Members

November 28, 2024 by Rashid

Happy Thanksgiving!

I enjoy playing around with Artificial Intelligence and illustration from time to time. I was not given the gift of visual art in that way (although I know my way around a camera).

This morning, I created some images that I am pretty happy with. Feel free to share them without alteration.

I was going to release these on the respective founders’ days of the various fraternities and sororities, but let’s be real, I neither have the discipline nor the patience to do that.

Enjoy!
