About art.haf.se
Welcome to my AI art print-on-demand e-commerce site! My name is Henrik and I'm a digital artist who is passionate about exploring the creative potential of AI. All of the artwork on my site is generated using AI algorithms, but my human touch is involved in every step of the creative process. I carefully choose which thumbnails to move forward with, select the art styles, and remix them to create unique and compelling pieces of art. The result is a beautiful and diverse collection of artwork that combines the best of both human and machine creativity.
In addition to the artwork, I also use AI to generate the pages and functionality of my e-commerce site. With the help of Github Co-pilot and ChatGPT, I'm able to create unique and functional pages that are tailored to the needs of my customers. By using AI to generate the e-commerce site, I'm able to streamline the process and provide a seamless user experience. The result is a site that's not only visually stunning, but also easy to navigate and use.
What's my story?
I've been working as a software engineer since the age of sixteen, and my passion for technology has only grown over the years. I've always been fascinated by the potential of AI, and I've spent much of my career exploring its various applications. Early on, I dabbled in different classical AI styles, like knowledge systems, different sorts of logics, and more. As the field of AI has evolved, I've kept up with the latest trends and technologies, and I'm excited to be working on the cutting edge of this exciting field.
My experience as a software engineer has given me a strong foundation in programming and problem-solving, which has been invaluable as I've worked on creating AI-generated artwork. I've also developed a keen eye for design and aesthetics, which allows me to balance the technical and creative aspects of my work. As I continue to explore the possibilities of AI-generated art, I'm always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of what's possible.

The process
Creating each piece of artwork is a multi-step process that involves a combination of AI and human input. First, I iterate through hundreds of sketches generated by MidJourney, an AI-powered art generation tool. From these sketches, I select the ones that look promising and generate them in the highest possible resolution. Next, I clean up the images in Pixmator or DALL-E, removing any half-rendered elements and extending the canvas if necessary. Once the images are cleaned up, I use Topaz Photo AI to super-resolution them, resulting in stunning, high-quality artwork.
After the images are created, I use a combination of Github Co-pilot and my own programming skills to generate a script that generates all the different aspect ratios available on the website.
This script also uploads the images to Google Cloud Storage, ensuring that they are easily accessible and can be delivered quickly to customers around the world. When a purchase is made on the website, a 200 MiB PDF is sent to a drop-shipping provider, who prints the artwork as close to the customer's delivery address as possible, ensuring that the artwork arrives quickly and in perfect condition.
What do I get out of it?
First of all, I get to be creative — I get to turn parts of what I can see in my head into artwork, and have great fun while doing so. Additionally, I get to push the envelope, to see how far I can push the current AI-products in generating the final results. So far, there's a lot of manual work, and I've spent more than 80 hours just getting everything set up before shipping a single painting, but I can also see how AI is starting to slot into the white-collar worker's default tool set, and that is exhilarating.
