Today when I went through my feed I stumbled on this Post by @carlgnash about an AI called deep Deep Dream Gerniratorin which photoes are turned into works of art via choices of style sheets thus learning how to do so more efficiantly each time a user does this.
You know me I am always hungry for new ways to create art from pictures with new spiffy tools and then turn them into layered collages ( especially because I can't paint in real life right now, due to issues with my hands ect. ) Like I did with the portrait of my kid and grandkids here -
and the portrait of jubilee-
and my friend @annvdb

So I snuck up on Deepdream and hit it with Picasso, sadly it did not get the concept of distortion so well I was so hoping to get a freaky dog and Pandora (my grand daughter) morph it did not happen 😒
I tried it with another picture of mine and with a painting from Picasso's less challenging blue period with similar result. I pouted as those two were not close to any of the beauty the crane shot @carlgnash made in his Post, Then I realised that I once again just expected to much from things and that what the AI needed was not whole paintings but basically textures and brush stroke types to do its work.
So for the next attempt I chose a new picture ( a self portrait from 2014) and decided I would run it through some of the templates the thing already had and the results were far better.
From the images and 4 run through my percolator and pix art that @c0ff33a introduced me to (the usual suspects)
I created a layered collage giving us this end result.
For the process on how I do these layering go Here I would like to thank @carlgnash for his introduction to yet another great art tool 😊
P.S I started this to post it for @c0ff33a's sublime sunday but it sort of turned into sublime monday very early morning
