ADIDAS AURA-X // an experiment in controlled chaos.
I wanted to see how far I could push AI while keeping a cohesive visual language, design, and style - with the goal for a finished proof of concept piece for @adidas
It took a bunch of tools (a lot credits) — and 5+ days of human time — to bring it all together.
AI can’t replace human creativity, but it can help augment it.
At the end of the day it’s pretty damn amazing/fun to have tools to able to create what I imagine in my 🧠

And yet, there is no denying that there will be a continuing human cost to our industry as we know it (jobs/career/mental health) 🪦
In the meantime… I’m available for hire 🎥

A classic coat with over a hundred years of experience. One jacket for all seasons. Tightly woven wool to keep the wind out, warm enough to keep you going when the temperature dips, with the natural ability to wick moisture to the tip of each fiber, enabling it to insulate dry or wet.

The classic @filson1897 Mackinaw Cruiser jacket never lets you down. Pair it with a pair of @imogeneandwillie Barton slim jean in eastland wash and the @harleyofscotland Lambswool turtleneck and you’re ready with the right fit for any occasion.

Shop the look at www.journeymanshop.com

I had a blast taking 📷 for my dear friends @violetpalmsband for their show at @barnsessions! I first caught the bug for photo/video via shooting live concert 12+ years ago in Chicago. Nice to dip my toes back in :)
