       Lito, a self-taught Japanese artist who began creating intricate, hand-carved art on fallen leaves as a way to manage his ADHD. He carefully selects each leaf & carves whimsical patterns that often depict animals, objects & landscapes - transforming delicate leaves into complex scenes. Art that captures the fleeting beauty of nature. #art #MastoArt #artist #creativity #beauty

       @smlx4 if someone can sit  there and focus enough to do this, they don't have ADHD

       @smlx4 one of the worst consequences of generative AI is that it made me extremely sceptical about anything I see online. This is beautiful and I’d love for it to be real but I have a hard time believing that it is.

       @jpelckolsen I get your view regarding AI, I feel the same & always make sure to research before I believe what I see. https://mymodernmet.com/lito-leaf-art/

       @jpelckolsen @smlx4 When I look at the fingertips I'm pretty sure it's not AI generated.Might still be AI composed, though.

       @mafe @jpelckolsen still think it’s genuine. The artist has accounts on instagram & twitter and they’re in Japanese.

       @smlx4 @jpelckolsen I also believe it's real, but Johan made a good point.

       @mafe @smlx4 The horrible part is that only a year ago, faking something like that would take a lot of time and quite a bit of photoshop savvy. And while it was definitely possible, why would any one bother with that for next to no gain? No, there's no pain so why not flood the internet with slob for a few followers?I will say that the consistency of the images is what convinces me that they are in fact real. You cannot prompt a gen ai model to produce such consistent outputs.

       @smlx4 And he makes it permanent with photography with backgrounds and backlight that enhance his sculptures.

       @smlx4 The animal in the second picture is a raccoon. In the fourth picture, a tanuki.
