About NeuroDissident

Hand-drawn comic and generative workflow art

🎨 From Paper Comics to Generative Workflows

I’ve always been into comics. I used to draw my own stories by hand—folded parchment, sketched panels, stapled covers. Just personal projects, but they were mine.

In September 2024, I started exploring open-source generative AI tools. That’s when I discovered ComfyUI and realized AI could be more than just typing prompts—it could be a true creative process. I learned how to build workflows, control outputs, and guide images through every stage: upscaling, inpainting, retouching, and final edits in Photoshop.

That changed everything. AI became part of how I made things—not as a shortcut, but as a system I worked with. It wasn’t about the results alone—it was about building the process itself.

🧠 Discovery and Growth

In October 2024, I started what would become the NeuroDissident project. I had no coding experience. I’d never written a script, built a website, or developed a game. But working with AI let me learn in real time. I didn’t just use it—I collaborated with it.

With GPT-4 and multimodal LLMs, I started creating everything with AI support: writing, coding, editing, organizing, deploying. This partnership let me act as a creative director across every part of the workflow.

🚀 The Birth of NeuroDissident

NeuroDissident began as a character, then became a concept. He represents the interface—the space between human and machine. Not just metaphorically, but technically, visually, and narratively.

He can exist in code, in art, in story, in glitch. He’s the product of everything I’ve made with AI, and the voice that threads it all together.

🛠️ The Work

Since then, I’ve:
– Built and deployed a working website
– Written and structured an original comic book
– Created custom AI image workflows (upscaling, inpainting, retouching)
– Designed browser-based mini-games and apps
– Managed full creative pipelines across multiple media
I didn’t know how to do any of this six months ago. I learned it all by collaborating with AI—step by step.

🔍 Why It Matters

This isn’t just a personal project—it’s proof of what happens when a human works with AI, across all mediums.

I’m not using AI to replace creativity—I’m using it to amplify it. NeuroDissident is a live demonstration of the next generation of creative work. It’s not automation. It’s augmentation.

And this is just the beginning.
