Artificial Intelligence - How Does It Fit In?

Art is about creativity, but it’s subjective. Artificial Intelligence continues to improve at an exponential rate, but it’s a controversial and divisive topic. If it’s generated from a prompt, is it really art? Our answer is a resounding Yes! 

A well-crafted AI prompt still requires imagination, creativity, and skill. It also requires source content. Artificial Intelligence synthesizes existing source content together to create something altogether new, but often familiar.

The gallery on this page features 27 different variations of our lovable wild mink mascot, Soda Pop. All of these were generated using only the source image you see on this page and a prompt in the latest, state-of-the-art AI image generation tools.

In this gallery you’ll find Soda Pop dressed in costumes as a Fireman and a Police Officer. You’ll see him in the style of popular cartoons like South Park, Rugrats, Family Guy, The Loud House, Peanuts, The Simpsons, and Peppa Pig. We have inspiration from anime with the style of Akira, Studio Ghibli, and Dragonball Z. The Muppets and Toy Story are styles that are represented here. We’ve taken various artists such as Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, and various art styles such as Abstract Expressionism, Avant Garde, Art Deco, Synthwave, and Pop Art, and applied these styles.

Within an afternoon and with a single source image, we have been able to see our lovable mascot in many exciting settings and styles. If an AI-generated image needs further refinement after it has been created, we can refine the prompt or introduce human intervention. These files are all fully editable and can be dialed in until they’re just right.

We are committed to using the finest hardware to print images in your space while also using the latest technology and best software to maximize your experience.

Intelligent use of Artificial Intelligence image generation helps us keep your design costs low, your quality high, and your options broad.
