Steampunk-inspired artwork with detailed mechanical gears, cogs, and floral accents set against a background of technical schematics, phone case design.

I Didn’t Just Generate It—Here’s How I Created It

(The Real Work Behind My AI Art Phone Cases)

There’s this idea floating around—that artists who use AI just click a few buttons and magic happens. 
Like we’re vending machines for pretty images.

I get it. From the outside, it can look that way.
But here’s the truth: there’s a massive difference between generating and creating.

And that difference? It’s where my art lives.

A Generator Produces. A Creator Decides.

Sure, I use tools that generate images. But the image is just the beginning.

The real art happens in what I do after.
What I choose to keep. What I discard. What I tweak, layer, refine.

Creation is curation. It’s intuition. It’s obsession.

I test a dozen versions of a single concept.
Tweak one word. Zoom into pixels.
Wait until something finally clicks and says, “That’s mine.”

Creation Is Emotional

I’m not just picking colors—I’m telling stories.
Even if no one else sees them, I know the alien is wearing headphones for a reason.
The astronaut is a monster on purpose. The deep gaze of my characters is telling a story of long lost battles and victories to come.
The softness in a creature’s eyes, the strange harmony of glitch and texture—it all comes from somewhere real in me.

That’s not something you can automate.
It’s something you feel.
And I pour that feeling into every phone case I design.

You Can’t Fake Voice

Anyone can generate.
But to create is to develop a voice.
A signature.
A strange consistency that builds when you keep making and making, over time.

My shop isn’t filled with random outputs.
It’s filled with stories I shaped until they felt like mine.
Until I could imagine someone holding them in their hands and thinking,
“This… feels like me too.”

Why I Put It On a Phone Case

Because I wanted these pieces to be held.
To live in the world. To be touched, seen, carried—not just scrolled past.

These aren’t just images.
They’re moments of connection.
Between me, the process, and now—maybe—you.
