‘Go Within’
My entry for the Google Gemini Art Remix Competition in collaboration with and , Amsterdam.

This is a story for anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t fit in.

Inspired by Karel Appel’s ‘The Square Man’ (1951) from the collection.

The Process:
Nano Banana: I realised the 3D furry protagonist and created every beginning and end frame for each scene, translating Appel’s raw impasto style into a tactile, needle-felted world.

Veo 3.1: Brought those frames to life, capturing the charm of stop-motion animation.

Adobe Photoshop: Used for light editing and resizing of individual frames, and for assembling the final sequence on the timeline.

Google Gemini: Acted as my AI collaborator, providing feedback on narrative flow and camera movement to refine the final output.

I’m not quite finished, but I had to stop to get my entry in before the deadline. I’ve really enjoyed the experience of pushing these tools to see how they can serve a traditional art narrative.

Most booths asked people to look.
Ours gave them pencils.

SCOPE Art Show, Miami saw Bellwether Arts launch their Collectible AR card series, and it was anything but quiet.

People stopped.
They sat down.
They coloured.

Not to watch art, but to make it.

You’re never too old to colour.
The focus around that table proved it.

Then the moment hit.
A phone lifted.
And what they’d just drawn came back at them in AR.

That look, the split second of surprise, never gets old.

Huge thanks to the Bellwether Arts team for putting together the most active booth at SCOPE and inviting me to be one of their inaugural artists.
