Why My Alien Wears Headphones and My Monster’s an Astronaut

“Why is your alien wearing headphones?”
“Why’s your monster an astronaut?”

And for a while, I didn’t know how to answer.

Because honestly?
I didn’t decide those things.
They just… showed up.

But over time, I realized those strange little details weren’t random.
They were me — slipping out between the prompts.

The Weird Stuff Is Where the Soul Hides

When you work with AI, you can make anything. Endless variations, perfect symmetry, flawless images.

But perfection isn’t what I’m chasing.
I’m chasing the weird. The stuff that feels alive.

And for some reason, my inner world seems to look like headphone-wearing aliens and monsters floating through empty space.
It’s funny, but it’s also honest.

Because the alien?
That’s me, lost in my own world. Tuning out the noise.
And the monster?
It’s the side of me that doesn’t quite belong anywhere — so it drifts.

AI Art Isn’t Just Pretty Pictures

It’s a language.
A mirror.
A way to tell stories you didn’t even know you were carrying.

Those characters started out as visuals.
But when I looked closer, they were parts of me.
Little symbols of solitude, curiosity, rebellion, wonder.

And suddenly, what seemed like random choices became visual diary entries.

That’s Why I Turned Them Into Something Real

I didn’t want these stories to live and die on a screen.
So I printed them on phone cases.
And eventually, built this shop around them.

We All Have Strange Little Stories Hiding in Us

Maybe yours don’t wear headphones.
Maybe they aren’t astronauts.

But they’re there.
And if you make art — with AI, with a pencil, with a camera, with anything — let them show up.

That’s where the good stuff is.

That’s where you find yourself.
