## About this work

Illustrations for Commercial Type’s [Food Issue](https://foodissue.commercialtype.com/), a digital magazine about the culture of food in New York City. I produced all of the illustrations for the issue using a variety of techniques, some machine learning and some by hand.

Editorial direction by Christian Schwartz, Caren Litherland, and Nikhil Misra.

Techniques: Next frame prediction, Text-to-image (Disco Diffusion), chromatography, collage
