    Check out Part 1 here: We keep talking about “Shadow Doll.” And we’re asking people to watch Eva and Hailey review video games – what if we made a fake video game called Shadow Doll? Vermis did it and now everybody makes art of video games that don’t exist.– Twilight That’s a terrible idea.–…

    This took a long time to make. And when I thought it was done, I ended up going back and adding more, because I feel like I only get one shot at this. It took 15 days, 1,696 images, and over 500 videos to get to this point. And probably about 80 hours of…

    NOTE: if you came here from Reddit, the above video is the director’s cut which adds one additional scene. Currently we’re working on a new project with Eva and the War Bunnies called Retro Rabbit. It’s almost done. But, I got distracted by other things. Here’s the latest distraction. I like strong women.

    I’m losing sleep. I’m losing time. I’m losing my mind. But I’m not losing you again. We published a video called “War Bunnies” on Easter. We’ll talk about that project another time. It actually it started off as something much simpler: A highly realistic and detailed photo portrait, 8k, Leica aesthetic, analog aesthetic, natural…

    Long, strange days Days where I can’t remember who I am Why am I so far from home? Looking down at the broken bodies And the ruins beneath us. Warn Bunnies is a fragment of a larger, darker idea. The basic premise: Sometime in the near future war is AI automated with weaponized absurdity;…

    This is Part 2 in a series on…whatever the hell it is we’re talking about now. You can find Part 1 here: Grok updated. And people are doom posting: And I’m just trying to be reasonable about this. But it’s been difficult. So we’re going to get into some more specific image and video…

    NOTE: this was not originally a video post. The video post was created because there’s been a plague of doom posting on social media about “the end of Grok” and I wanted to make something to calm people down. Eva is just a nice girl who wants to be your friend. There’s a weird…

    This started out as a very different idea. I wanted to make an image that was evocative and melancholy, but also a bit of a horror vibe. Kind of like “The Great God Pan” by Arthur Machen. This was the initial prompt: Vintage 1950s black and white photograph, grainy film texture, high contrast, slight…

    Can I just stay in this moment with you? Every now and then you find a liminal space where things are quiet and you can catch your breath. This is one of those spaces. Happy Friday.
