CarrotwithaK

United States of America

Drake Cappi, also known as CarrotwithaK, is a self-taught visual artist currently based in Kirkland, Washington. His focus is on creating dreamy and aesthetically pleasing environments through blending nature with contrasting architecture. Flowers play a key role in almost all of the art he creates, both as a universal beauty, and as a way of creating a surreal split between the natural and unnatural. His works ranges from depicting surrealistic scenes of nature overtaking interior or metropolitan spaces, to reinterpreting historic works of art such as Monet's 'Waterlilies' using new artistic tools and 3D software. Throughout Drake's work is an encouragement to view the world with fresh eyes, making use of digital means to add a touch of magic to that which is familiar.


In his freelance work, Drake has worked with various musicians to create music videos and cover art, including clients such as Deorro, Chilly Gonzalez, Lil Ghost and Sokuu.

As she sits among the flowers and plants, her form seems to blend in with the environment, as if she is disappearing into it. The red poppies that surround her draw the eye away from her, as if she is being forgotten. It is a portrait of a person who has lost their identity and is fading away into obscurity.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
