Blog / 2017 / The Gwenn Seemel Photo Filter
January 15, 2017
For info about people who’ve imitated my style in more hands-on ways, go here and here. This post explains why it’s okay for us to appreciate getting credit for what we do.
My friend Amylee told me about about the Seemel filter, which you can find on Picas. And Shannon Kringen is the artist who used the Dreamscope app to transform a photo that I showed in the video.

If you’d like to see what you would look like with through the orignal Seemel filter of my eyes-heart-hand, commission me!

A second tech company is using my art in a photo filter, but this one doesn’t bother to give me credit.

This video is all about why human art will always be more interesting to us than AI-generated images.
Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!
Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? I’d love to hear from you.
