A NOTE ON PROCESS & TECHNOLOGY​

​​​

My visual art is mixed media in every sense of the word, incorporating real-world photography, physical drawing, digital collage, graphic design, VHS glitching, collaborations, and - where it serves a specific concept (such as my deliberate uncanny-valley horror) the thoughtful use of AI tools. 

​

As an independent creator releasing all published work for free and working without the budget for commercial studio sets or expensive camera rigs, I occasionally use generative tools to help source raw, surreal visual elements and impossible scenes that I couldn’t otherwise stage or photograph. To be completely clear: AI is never a finished product here. I treat it the exact same way I treat an old magazine clipping, a raw texture overlay, or a distortion pedal on an electric guitar. Any generative element is heavily chopped, repainted, combined with real photography, and manipulated by hand in software like Affinity.

​

I understand and share the ethical concerns surrounding how generative technology is built and deployed. I firmly advocate for strong industry regulation, mandatory protections and fair compensation for working artists, and using technology thoughtfully rather than treating it as a cheap replacement for human craft. Frankly, I find 99% of raw AI content utterly lifeless, uninspiring, and boring—it only becomes interesting when guided by genuine human ideas, flaws, and manual intervention.

DEAD LETTER LIBRARY ASSETS (ZERO AI)

All downloadable asset repositories hosted across the Dead Letter Library—including the vintage collage cutouts, video overlays, and LUT packs—are 100% human-curated and hand-crafted with zero generative AI. They are clean, authentic, and completely safe for indie filmmakers, game developers, and artists to use in commercial projects without copyright friction.

MUSIC, SOUND & AUDREY VIXEN (100% HUMAN-MADE)

All music, sound design, and scoring under Audrey Vixen is 100% human-made. Every track is written, recorded, and produced from scratch by Kellie and me, with zero generative AI of any kind involved.
