Full: Art is more than an image. Painting over Frottage Drawing (Patreon)

I call this piece Pavement Darling, because she's my darling and she came from the pavement. 

I made a rubbing of a cement texture on paper (A technique called  “Frottage.”) then I fixed the paper to wood panels and started painting using the cement texture to suggest the painting to me.

People will often say "that looks like AI" when looking at my art. And it is a similar process to what an AI will do to develop an image. However, I happen to be a human being using tactile surfaces in the real world and creating physical objects using my physical eyes, brain, hands and heart. And the result lives in the real world. So, while conceptually similar, I'm not a machine.
