The Teacher: AI Variations on a Theme

Last night while painting in my studio, I did a little touch up on one of my faces from ten years ago, acrylic on canvas paper. I proceeded to photograph it and feed it into an AI art program. By varying the prompts, we ended up with some very different images. Here are the ones I didn't discard. 

Here's the current status of the original:

New Business Attire for the Corporate American

New trend in corporate attire is catching on in America.

I had a dream in which handles were affixed to the back of our suits so that we could be more easily tossed aside when we were old and in the way. The concept filtered down to younger office workers, who could  jockey for position more easily when blocked on the corporate ladder. This is a sketch I drew to illustrate the new corporate attire. 

One of the advantages of the new corporate uniform is that it reduces the amount of bloodshed caused by back stabbing, which can get messy at times.

The handles are also convenient when a C-suite exec wants to lift an employee up a few rungs.
