AI playground / Editorial design
Baloo. Editorial madness.
I own an old Mitsubishi L300 4x4. When I cannot drive it, I modify it digitally. This seemed reasonable at the time.
An AI playground for imagined upgrades, improbable scenes and magazine layouts. The van is real. Its expanding editorial mythology is entirely my fault.
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.
