I did a very quick (in seconds) watercolor painting based on visual impression of a sunset I just saw, and let stable diffusion create variations from it.

I quickly sketched this sculpture on my moto-x4 phone in the museum but opted to add motion graphics over a stock photo at home later.

Depicting a power sucking process running amok on a wearable device

A few days ago I noticed that my fitness tracker was losing power almost as fast as it could be charged, which turned out to be caused by a very power hungry background process. The issue was resolved by rebooting the device.

Impression of an evening lamp over an utility cottage

I painted from impression the scene of this little cottage, built around utility equipments, lit by a nearby yellow lamp after dark.
(For more background information, I recommend this.)

Stable diffusion can work well for this case.

I dreamed about making an U-turn on my bike over the side of a school bus

This is a dream I had over a year ago about taking a U-turn on my bike over the side of a school bus in a junction of the University avenue at Stanford university. (The dream might relate to my once getting stopped by a campus police for over-speeding on a bike.)
I have been having difficulty sketching what I saw in my dream, and finally decided to do the best I could with some visual references (bike turn, school bus).

Stable diffusion seems to have difficulty with such out-of-sample case.

Portrait of Satoshi Nakamoto

This is a light-hearted experiment to see if deep learning has somehow spotted Satoshi Nakamoto in the training data and could shed light on their real identity.

I experimented with stable diffusion over some of my own manual drawings and here are the results.
