Modern Gangster: 1970s Wave Perm Series
A cinematic AI art project exploring the aesthetics of 1970s gangster culture β style, emotion, and rebellion β visualized through AI-generated character sketches and scenes.
Each image represents a story of identity, ambition, and love in a world of smoke, suits, and secrets.
This series captures the raw energy and emotional tone of 1970s film noir and urban crime dramas.
The βWave Permβ hairstyle became a visual signature β symbolizing confidence, chaos, and charisma.
Through this collection, I reinterpret that era with modern cinematic lighting, composition, and AI stylization.
- Toolchain: AI image generation + Lightroom editing + composition refinements
- Workflow: Idea β Prompt crafting β Image generation β Curation β Enhancement
- AI Style Reference: 1970s Hong Kong / Italian noir / American New Wave films
All artworks in this project are AI-generated and curated by DavidDesign1988 (GitHub: David1988-x).
Each piece is timestamped, verified via C2PA, and linked to decentralized vault logic on Arweave and OpenSea.
These works are not for commercial sale and exist as a record of authorship and creative provenance.
Future releases will expand the series with additional cinematic batches, continuing the exploration of AI-driven visual storytelling.
