I own an old Mitsubishi L300 4x4. It is unreliable in the way honest machines often are. When I cannot drive it, I modify it digitally instead. This seemed reasonable at the time.

Simulated Upgrades, Real Obsession

What started as casual experimentation with AI became a fully art-directed fictional tuning universe. I refined one visual direction, enforced consistency across angles, lighting, stance, graphics. Then I escalated. I designed imaginary 90s magazine spreads to document the non-existent build. Headlines. Body text. Fragments of Japanese I no longer remember writing. It stopped being “playing” somewhere around version twelve.

This is not a project.

It is what happens when you care about a vehicle more than is strategically advisable and have access to generative tools.

The van remains mechanically unchanged.

The editorial mythology, however, is expanding.
