Hey everyone, my name is Sarah McBride and I am one of the makers behind Cross & Freckle. Alongside Tyler and Paul, I've been super fortunate to be immersed in the growing “synthetic media” scene here in NYC and as a team we wanted to dabble in some AI-generated media for ourselves. And, as Nick said, if software is eating the world, we may as well make cute t-shirts out of it! The doodles on the t-shirts are generated by AI, but are very much real t-shirts for real humans. They come in all colors from white to black. That is, they come in white and black. From the obsession over little puppers, to 1AM dollar slices, to morning commutes alongside subway rats and to making friends with pigeons, the Cross & Freckle t-shirt range represents life as we know it in NYC, with a little help from AI. On the science side, Paul, our esteemed engineer, trained a variational autoencoder (machine learning model) on Google Creative Lab's Quick, Draw! Dataset. He chose to use the model architecture from the Sketch RNN paper, and trained the model on NYC themed drawings. The output? Fun and fresh lifestyle t-shirts, that are sure to be a conversation-starter. Please do check out the t-shirts and read more into the science behind them over on our website. Please also feel free to ask questions and leave comments below. Thanks!! (this is my first-ever project launch on PH and I'm so excited/nervous) 🍕🐕🐀🐦

@tylerjbecker @pblankley @mrcalexandre thank you! the training set has already been put to use in a bunch of different ways, so we figured we'd find a cool way to use it to create something we could wear. (plus i love pizza)

@aaronoleary the key is to eat a dollar slice while wearing dollar slice. Legend has it an additional dollar slice appears out of nowhere.

I honestly don’t understand. What’s the catch? Why would anyone pay $25.00 for that t-shirt? They wouldn’t. Which means I am missing something. And I feel like I’m going to be made fun of for missing the obvious
