Derek Myers and His Daily Dose Of Miniature Art

Derek Myers is a proactive artist, his latest project involving sketching out a drawing a day for one year, using a felt pen. The creative series features beautiful natural landscape which are framed by geometric patterns and designs. By utilizing the paper as a texture to create the rough natural element such as snow or stone, the detailed scenes of the wild become tamed and restrained within the symmetrical framework of lines and shapes. His compositions are reminiscent old tattoo work, with their monochrome tint and depth of meaning.

Machine learning is really blowing up right now, especially with GPUs being so powerful. They’re slowly creeping up all over the place. It’s quite fascinating really all these new and creative uses people find for it. If anyone wants to learn more, feel free to message me!
