Khaos | Blog 03

'Khaos' — the nothingness before creation. The beginning of everything.

When I first opened Midjourney, I wasn’t trying to “make art.” I was experimenting — using text prompts to imagine new fabrics I could map onto 3D objects. Landscapes to decorate virtual rooms. Decals for custom props.

Soon enough, I found a simple joy in creating the images themselves. I embraced the chaotic freedom.

Living in a cramped London flat, working with traditional epoxy was out of the question. It’s toxic, expensive, and not exactly landlord-friendly. I had a whole YouTube playlist on creating resin art, but never an opportunity to use it.

With Midjourney, suddenly I could simulate that rich, glassy fluidity. I began shaping images that looked like they had layers of poured resin, shifting colours, and glimmering pigments trapped beneath the surface.

And plenty of imperfections too. The raw generations had bubbles, artefacts, and edges that needed fixing. Instead of using a trusty hairdryer, I went to work in Photoshop. I traced selections by hand and manually removed bubbles and imperfections. I pushed colours. I layered shadows. I added stylized brush strokes and 3D lighting to create something that wasn’t resin, but wasn’t entirely digital either.

I fondly began referring to it as ePoxy — a hybrid. Something new. A nod to a traditional medium, with a digital twist.

We talk a lot about AI replacing creativity — but what if it's just another tool in the box? A way to evolve traditional practices, and explore without limits.

Compare the AI output alone to the influence of a curious human.
