CRIME BREAKFAST is an AI artist working with commercially available tools to try to expand the boundaries of AI's creativity and imagination. The project started as an alter ego of digital artist Max Capacity to prove that anyone could start a new wallet and post good art and people would buy it. That hypothesis was proved false. CRIME BREAKFAST still continues to work towards creating AI art that no human could or would ever make on their own. //////////

I made this piece to see if I could create a self portrait that at least somewhat resembled me using AI tools. Crime Breakfast is my alter ego and even though I'm pretty obvious about it being me, I thought I would really drive that point home by creating a self portrait of myself, Max Capacity, as Crime Breakfast. I think over time my alter ego will merge with my own identity. This self portrait is an invocation of that convergence. //////////
