About the Artist

Welcome to Squigi.com—home of uniquely whimsical and captivating art! I'm Blake, an artist and craftsman dedicated to blending imagination with cutting-edge technology to create something truly special.

Every artwork begins as a spark—a concept, an imagining, or intriguing idea just waiting to come to life. Much like character customization in a videogame, where one might spend hours moving sliders and getting their character just right, I methodically fine-tune each element in my work, iteratively refining and shaping every detail until it aligns with my intended vision.

By harnessing trained and tailored AI models, I generate hundreds of iterations throughout the development of each piece. Much like traditional sculpting, or the video game character creation example, my process of digital sculpting allows me to deeply explore each character or design—building up the final image bit-by-bit.

Throughout this process, I rely on a full spectrum of digital tools. This includes cutting-edge AI tools— alongside more contemporary AI-powered features like Generative Fill, Remove, Spot Healing, Image Upscaling, etc.

Yet—as great as these tools may be—they are not magic nor touch-less.

I meticulously polish each creation in Photoshop. The final elements of every print—the nuances, the minute details, composition and balance—are carefully crafted by hand, ensuring each piece is a proper reflection of both vision and quality. This ongoing experiment— the hybrid blend of advanced AI technology and traditional hands-on technique— allows me to express my creativity in new and exciting ways while keeping the heart of the creative process firmly in human hands.

Beyond the Canvas

Alongside my art, I create a diverse range of custom 3D-printed products. This range includes personalized bag tags & magnetic placards that support local teams—the players and the fans. A portion of the purchase price of these products goes directly to the support of their program through the corresponding association.

I also have a variety of other designs that appeal to a wider audience— and continue to develop new products in this space on a regular basis.

A Philosophy of Creativity

I'm passionate about showcasing AI not as a replacement but as a powerful extension of human creativity. Embracing AI as another tool in the artist's toolkit opens exciting new possibilities, pushing the boundaries of what we can imagine and create.
