Assanti Breeder - Machine Learning Art

3/20/2021

I've watched a lot of My 600-lb Life.

And, Steven Assanti Jr. has to be the most memorable character of all time from the show.

So, when I stumbled upon ArtBreeder, naturally, I wanted to make some Assanti fan art by using ArtBreeder's machine-learning art creator. I blended Assanti's face with other faces to create new versions of him.

Below are some of the Assanti Breeders. I thought it was all going to be nightmare fuel but it ended up being pretty tame.

Make Bad Art and Take Up Space

I think most of the stuff I make is ugly.

I'm just not a naturally talented person. And, the discipline to stick to one thing until I've mastered it, well, that just isn't in my design (Manifesting Generator). That doesn't mean I don't keep trying. I do, I just tend to make a lot of ugly things along the way as I ping from one thing to the next, following what inspires me.

I have this screaming need to make.

It can keep me up at night if it isn't satiated. So, I continue on making junk and living life. Someone who continues to inspire me along my making journey is The Purple Palace. And, one of her recent videos, along with inspiration from one of my closest friends (hi Kendra!), has inspired me to start making ugly paintings and more YouTube videos about the projects I'm working on.
