This is a question Addressed to both artists and to the people who enjoy the arts.
Firstly let's consider the definition of prolific.
Prolific is to produce something in great numbers.
Example: Pablo Picasso produced 147,800 works of art including paintings, etchings, sculptures.. during the course of his career.
In my opinion art is not a contest, but this is a very different concept in the artworld as many artists and those who represent art see the production and
business of art as being just that, It's all a competition and the best man / woman wins!
With that said I would like to introduce you to Walter Paul Bebirian and the kingdom made of art he has built and calls it Volord Kingdom.
Over 250,000 images and growing every day. This is just part of a regular day for Walter, In the morning maybe a glass of milk and a chocolate covered Graham Cracker, then back to work. Working with Digital images that stream effortlessly from his mind like having a great breakfast or maybe lunch. Simple & effective.
Like so many of us his culinary selections become a much needed break in his day filled with creation in the world of an artist. The digital world that has taken the globe by storm and is now an absolute part of our daily lives.
Walter has simply adapted to the ever changing landscape of computing and uses these tools to manifest his visions.
In Walters' work the viewer is gently drawn into his compositions with a vast selection of images, renditions of photographs he has taken over the course of his career in both film and digital.
Always pushing the boundaries of his imagination. Artificial Intelligence now plays a role in his work and as new advances in technology become available Walter will add them to his ever expanding tool kit and use them to create new upcoming artworks.
I am sure you might like to meet Walter, but until then I can present his art in his words.

Who is Walter ?
Well Walter is a little boy as when I started out exploring many years ago and who finds great enjoyment in exploring with the tools at hand and also with new ones as I continue to experiment and see things that I have never imagined before.
For example just this morning I created this image with a combining of two AI generated images seeing how this effect develops:
Well Walter is a little boy as when I started out exploring many years ago and who finds great enjoyment in exploring with the tools at hand and also with new ones as I continue to experiment and see things that I have never imagined before.
For example just this morning I created this image with a combining of two AI generated images seeing how this effect develops:
This image is not even up on my website yet but I am giving you a unique peak at things to come and what is now just developing.
As I take this image
As I take this image
Exchange it to this image
morph it into this image
and then take this image
and then merge the two to make up this image
and that is all I can share with you now since I am right in the middle of creating what if anything comes next
(This is a first for viewers of the world)
Volord Kingdom was formed with many different ideas in mind
first I was in the process of merging many different parts and levels of my creations into one big universe and I thought that it might be nice to have some entity purchase the entire collection and exhibit it in a large enough space so that it remained a whole in such a space
but now I do not know
Art is not only a way to breathe but a way to move forward with developing anything in the world
the Internet allows me to envision the entire population of the world not only seeing but also responding to that which I am creating
how very exciting compared to how I felt when I was just 8 and just begining to imagine what the world was like
the technologies have brought new life to a world that was all about death and dying especially since my youngest brother John died from Covid in a hospital in Las Vegas where he lived and I had never seen his since when I told him that Antonia and I were going out there to meet him and his wife Yumi and he said don’t travel there because of the rapid rise of Covid deaths going on there in Vegas
the next thing I know he was in the hospital and no one could talk with him not even my other brother Richard who is. doctor who had had Covid himself and has thankfully lived to know what life after Covid is like — or John’s wife Yumi — I think it was in a matter of a week and John was gone — this was extremely tragic for me because John was the surviving member of twins where only one was born
I am the richest man on the planet ever since the Internet allows me to share my images with anyone in the world who desires to see them for free — requiring. them only a connection on the Internet and not even a computer because everything on the Internet is visible on people’s smart phones today and even TV’s in April 2023 I had a stroke which has for a time greatly limits my physical movements but has instead allowed me to expand my travels using my mind — imagination and my world of art — perhaps much more than I could ever explain with words
AI is just the latest tool and my physical limitations have made me focus more energy and effort in learning how to use these AI tools which seem to be proliferating on a daily basis.
AI allows me to create images that I would never otherwise be able to create
how many images I create is not an issue for me how many I can physically create because I am able to store more and more files on ever shrinking digital hard drives that I can access all while working from my computer is the key to greater and greater creativity
I am like a chef with access to all of the fruits and vegetables all of the various meats and spices without having to go anywhere
this is a photograph of my great grandparents on my mother’s father’s side of the family
and that is all I can share with you now since I am right in the middle of creating what if anything comes next

this is a photograph of my great grandparents on my mother’s father’s side of the family
my great grandfather was a chef to a Pasha in Turkey and from what I remember of the story that part of my family was allowed to escape during the Armenian Genocide because the Pasha loved his cooking so much.
So in effect I am cooking up something new every day either with images or even on the stove sometimes
AI now while I am immersed in experimenting and learning it’s capabilities and limitations — is everything now until something else comes along to supercede it.
I hunger for the next great creations....

After knowing Walter & his wife Antonia I don't think I have ever had closer Friends.
