William T. Ayton is a British artist based in Tempe, Arizona & New York's Hudson Valley. His work deals with the human condition, social issues and myth. He creates drawings, paintings & augmented reality pieces, and has recently started to experiment with AI-generated art.
This will most likely be the final post of the year. I've spent a lot of time working with generative AI in the Leonardo.AI space, & have created many complex & detailed worlds, so below I'm putting in a somewhat random selection of fairly recent pieces (from the last couple of months or so). The images are detailed, so you are encouraged to view them full screen or larger, if possible. More to come in 2026, no doubt.
You can find many many more on my Flickr pages.

I'm just finishing off the year with some updates, since it's been a long time since I've posted on the blog. Here we all are on the cover of Living Rhinebeck magazine, which is where we live in Upstate New York. And a Happy New Year to all...
This is one of my fairly early experiments in AI video...creating the images and movie loops in Leonardo.AI & assembling them in Blender's video editor. I'm still learning...
This is currently my favorite deranged conspiracy theory, as seen on X/Twitter etc. Apparently there was a huge technologically advanced empire that everyone has forgotten about that created all the neoclassical, etc. buildings of the 19th century & beforehand. I'm baffled that people believe this stuff...? Here are my AI homages to this:

Here is my recent interview & AI co-generated image ("A New Golden Age") as featured in the Davos edition of Art Talk Magazine (on pages 63 & 64).
