On May 11th 2020 PUFF was born

In the spring of 2020 (before chatGPT and text to image models existed) I trained a neural network on 100 or so of my monster artworks.

This ML model could produce endless synthetic monster drawings.

One of these stood out to me over the others. I named her PUFF.

Over the last few years we have been exploring the potentials and pitfalls of AI and creativity together.

The evolution of PUFF:

With the help of the online community, PUFF evolved.

Hundreds of beautiful fan-made images meant I could train a new iteration of the AI model, allowing endless variations of PUFF to exist.
