ARTIST

makeitrad

Makeitrad is a Los Angeles based designer and pixel manipulator whose work examines finding the organic beauty of nature while being trapped in a world of technology. He often uses artificial intelligence and machine learning but also embraces ideas of randomness and noise to drive the final forms. With his incredible ability to find inspiration through the lens of a child, the result is insightful and inspiring artwork that is also vibrant, innocent, and fun.

Cuco Love Letter to LA

In collaboration with director Paul Trillo and artist Paul Flores, This is a psychedelic love letter to Los Angeles that transforms familiar streets into kaleidoscopic dreamscapes. The goal was to bring the city’s energy to life in a surreal journey that bends reality while remaining deeply rooted in Chicano culture. The project reimagines Los Angeles not just as a physical place but as an emotional landscape shaped by memory, nostalgia, and reinvention.

Evolution’s Echoes

It all began with Monochrome loops. After discovering Hicetnunc in May 2021, I quickly fell in love and started making dailies. Ultimately, I created almost 100 before breaking out of monochrome, hitting color, and later discovering Ai. The goal now is to merge my 3D work and Ai work into one.
