Q&A
What are your goals and plans?
To create on my own terms and to not adhere to a content calendar. :) The Superghoul is me, my passions, and interests without the constraints of niche branding. I love to keep myself busy and connect with others on a meaningful level.
Are you done with horror?
Done with The Superghoul as a horror centered site? Yes. Done with horror? Never.
Do you use AI?
In 2022, I was using an app to create portraits of myself, joining in on the hype on the site formerly known as Twitter. I did not understand what the tool entailed or the negative impacts that AI can have such as stealing from artists for generative tools.
I stayed looped in debates and once it was made clear, I stopped using the app. Today though, I understand that the conversation surrounding AI is ongoing and with its own nuances. While I'm still trying to grasp how to navigate the creative landscape with this, I make sure to avoid/limit my use.
For transparency: The maximum extent of my AI use is through two features: the 'Background Remover' tool that's available in Canva, and Text-to-speech that's offered in Capcut. Aside from those, I do not use ChatGPT or generative AI tools.
Have I seen your work anywhere?
You may have seen a memed version of a photograph I took floating around. It's of Michael and Jason having a milkshake together. The awesome team at HorrorPack gave it the name Summertime Slashers. You can get a 5x7 print for $3 from their store at this link: Click Here
