What happens when a poet picks up a pen and remembers she likes to sketch too:)
I write poetry over at @words.bycm on IG and since Inktober is here, I thought it was time to let that side of me out of its little corner of Instagram.
This is 'What Is Freedom?', a poem I wrote about a blue bird that spends its life fighting to escape a cage, only to find its wings clipped when the door finally opens.
A little existential crisis, now available in ink.
I wanted to bring the poem into a visual form, keeping the bird, the open cage, and that big, complicated idea of freedom at the heart of it.
For the writers, designers, and other creative shape-shifters here: what side of your creativity would you bring to Inktober?

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this<3
Very interesting interpretation of "freedom"...Most people look for freedom in the hopes that if achieved, everything will be okey. But then when we get it, we might have lost a lot. But I think what matters is the purpose of the journey in search for freedom. The bird only lost...
Nice

A little visual exploration of the analog collage aesthetic.
I used 10 images of my own as visual references for Flux 3 Image Klein to generate a single collage.
I wanted to see how well it could interpret a set of somewhat unrelated references and bring them together into one cohesive composition, rather than simply combining the original images.
I like that it incorporated all 10 references without leaving any out, while blending some of the elements quite naturally.
I've included the prompt in the comments.
What do you think of this style?
Love this aesthetic! The way it brings unrelated references together while keeping that authentic analog collage feel is really interesting. It feels creative without looking overly AI-generated.
AI isn't the designer. It's the tool.
You're the designer. The art director.
It can't design without your direction.
yes, we are like a boss to AI. its all upto us how we get done our work from subordinate.

What happens when fashion becomes part of a painting?
Inspired by 17th-century Dutch paintings from the Getty collection, I created a custom style in Recraft to explore the relationship between fashion, art, and visual perception.
From patterned floors to velvet curtains and spotted horses, each look blends into its surroundings, blurring the line between clothing and the world around it.
Created for the Contra × Recraft Archive Style Challenge.
