I’M SHADY ART DEALER

My exploration of AI art under the moniker Shady Art Dealer marks an exciting evolution in my creative journey. AI art captivates me because it challenges traditional notions of creativity and opens new realms of artistic possibility. As someone deeply invested in both traditional and digital mediums, I view AI art as a revolutionary extension of my creative practice. It allows me to experiment with forms and ideas that transcend conventional methods, embracing the raw, unfiltered outputs of digital technology.

As a disabled artist, AI art provides a unique freedom that my physical and mental limitations sometimes restrict. It offers a low-energy way to translate the flood of ideas in my mind, alleviating perfectionism and anxiety. Whether it sparks new concepts, expands existing ones, or simply provides a playful exploration, AI art enhances my creative process in ways traditional methods cannot.

However, the use of AI in art is not without its controversies. Issues such as art theft, environmental impact, and control raise significant ethical concerns. The technology behind AI art poses important questions about the role of machines in the creative process. As a Black creator, I am acutely aware of the racial biases that can be embedded in AI systems, reflecting broader systemic issues within the art world. Addressing these biases and contributing to a more inclusive and diverse conversation about art is a crucial aspect of my practice.

As Shady Art Dealer, each piece of AI-generated art is crafted with an understanding of these challenges and a celebration of the opportunities AI presents. I embrace the imperfections inherent in AI art, viewing them as valuable aspects of the creative process. These imperfections reflect the authentic, unfiltered nature of digital art and challenge traditional notions of refinement and polish. My goal is not to deceive or undermine traditional mediums but to demonstrate the potential of AI tools in artistic creation. While anyone can create AI art, not everyone can create Art with AI. My use of custom AI models and curated inputs ensures that my work remains uniquely my own.

This page serves as both a showcase and a celebration of my AI art. Here, you’ll find a curated collection of pieces that reflect my artistic vision and the innovative spirit of AI technology. I invite you to explore these works, each embodying a fusion of my personal journey and my commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. By offering my AI art for sale, I affirm its distinctiveness and the personal effort invested in each piece. My art is special because it originates from my mind and cannot be replicated.

Thank you for visiting Shady Art Dealer. Embrace the future of art with me, where every piece tells a story of creativity, innovation, and personal expression, celebrating the beautifully imperfect nature of AI art.
