Platform: WordPress, Facebook, Instagram, Patreon
Year: 2023 – Ongoing
Notes: cursejourney is a project that I’ve started in August 2023 which is essentially content creation via AI images portraying the supernatural, gods, demons, monsters, and anything in-between. cursejourney currently has over 500,000 followers on Instagram and over 220,000 followers on Facebook with over 220 million views on Instagram alone. cursejourney is expanding to other platforms.
Cursejourney has become a project that I am actively focused on and is the main source of my AI art portfolio. I have designed the logo (with sepia hover effect on the site) and a responsive website for it with a working WooCommerce store and several orders fulfilled. It features a minimalistic navigation (very similar to this portfolio site that I’ve made) as well as a video gallery. The main gallery is a filtered gallery displaying various images in random order while specific parts (image sets) are ordered sequentially and are further categorized via filter to show the main image set and bonus images or both. Breaking up the image sets into separate parts is to reduce load times as each part can contain over 100 images. Other image sets and a fan section which will display tattoos, merch, commissions, and other cursejourney related media will be created in the future with plans to provide more ways for custom AI commissions.
Social media reach from July – August 2024 is 179 million with 6.4 million interactions on Instagram and 25.8 million reach with 1.2 million engagement on Facebook.
Cursejourney has become an inspiration and source for album covers, tattoos, art, stories, and even apparel for others. Patreon supporters receive extra content and more horror content that is not allowed on social media. The depiction of supernatural, demonic, and macabre themes with a mix of different image sets appeal to a wide range of audiences.
Print on demand, collaborations with artists, and music is in the works for 2024.
