Hi, my name is Erik Eskedal – thank you for stopping by my site.
I share positive and deep perspectives on different things.

Eskedal Expressions is a collective of art made by myself.
I am a professional artist who has recently been using artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance my photographs to get closer to my original visions.
ALL images are based on my original photographs.
Without using my photographs as a basis, I flounder without direction and feel as though I have no control over where I would like to take the generated art.

I am an artist with a uniquely refreshing perspective with which I am making the world a better place.
Enough about me, you be the judge.

My stimulations are at their peak when encountering old and decaying mechanical things.
a few things I like:
driving, playing frisbee, cars, trucks, playing ping-pong, junkyards, meteorology, maps, space, eating and making tasty foods, the Red Sox (baseball), drinking alcohol, stick-shifts, boating, abandoned stuff, ghost-hunting, the holiday season, snowstorms, thunderstorms, cetaceans, relaxing, youtube, pizza (Uno’s especially), cryptocurrency

Fundamentals
Who am I? an artist
What am I selling? creativity / refreshment
Counterpoint to niche: I live moment to moment with, oftentimes, no direct line or correlation between them.
The only consistency is my way of visually perceiving and sharing the world that I am reacting to – through the art of an image.
There is a journey from the reactionary momentous capture – through the processing and intentional work towards finality – which is the overall vision of the original perception.
In essence, the photo is just beauty without the story/context which provides a foundation (basepoint).
The photo represents my reaction and how I felt at the time of the shot.

From there, I process with AI or any (other controllable variables).
Within this process, I look to convey more of what I could have conveyed with the orginal.
Within this process the narrative is isolated or enhanced and is whittled into the feelings that I want to portray overall.
As an example, with many of my “Zen/Meditative/Yoga” works, I have added a background (visual) component of the 963 Hz frequency (also known as the God frequency) – which is said to be a vibration which enables connection to the Divine and the essence of the spiritual world. This component is added by using specific AI prompts which embed elements of script-direction depending on contextual weighting and various degrees of input.
In addition to being compositionally balanced specific to Yin and Yang, there are many other layers of art which have been embedded in varied degrees.
