Hi, I'm Nick Teeple
an American artist and technologist in Hong Kong. I bring over 15 years of professional experience to the table, solving problems and leading projects for the world’s top organizations.
I’m comfy in ComfyUI
I’ve been working with node environments since 2008. ComfyUI + AnimateDiff have revolutionized the GenAI art landscape by creating the first friendly UI for these cutting edge tools.
Experienced in AI
My AI art journey started in 2016 with artistic-videos by Manuel Ruder. My Linux sysadmin experience allowed me to dig deep into the codebase and render interesting early experiments.
3D Art + VR
In addition to AI tools, I use a combination of VR and traditional 3D tools to create novel digital artwork.
3D Art + AI
Combining 3D animation with Stable Diffusion tools like Warp Fusion and AnimateDiff have opened up exciting new directions for research and production.
Taking Art in New Directions
Blending AI art, 3D design, and physical fabrication techniques adds an exciting new dimension to these tools. Seen here is my digital/physical sculpture, Opportunity (2023).
Exploring Node Workflows
The video inside the sculpture above was created entirely in ComfyUI with AnimateDiff using text2video. The style was influenced by the IP Adapter node to create an "instant LORA" stylistic effect plus the QR Code Monster controlnet to maintain the overall brain shape.
Making AI My Own
Using Kohya_ss, I was able to train a new set of LORA based on my 3D renders of digital glass sculptures. Combining custom LORA, models, and other styling techniques allows for AI art that transcends the "AI look".
Seasoned Professional
In addition to my art practice, I’ve led large technology projects for some of the world’s leading brands. I’m a team player who values respect, collaboration, and creative problem solving to achieve impeccable results that win over clients worldwide.
