The derelict Ocean Hotel in Sandown has been reimagined by an Isle of Wight man using AI technology.
Justin Bailey, based in Bembridge, used around a dozen different programmes to show what the abandoned hotel could look like, with a lot of work!
He said some of the 'eyesores' around the Island 'could do with a bit of regeneration' and set about to show what they could be.
The designs, which he published to social media via his TikTok account @islandai_iow, gained traction and generated conversations.

He said: "I used the AI subscriptions I have and my photography background to bring it all together.
"I am really passionate about the Island and it's so sad to see Sandown the way it is. I have lived in Suffolk and it took only a bit to change the outlook of the towns completely - I'm just pushing a few ideas out there to see what happens.
"The designs are a bit of fun but it does seem to be on the pulse."
Justin has created designs for Ryde Theatre, Shanklin Esplanade and other places across the Island.
The Ocean Hotel, on Sandown Esplanade, was once a focal point of the town and its tourist economy - however, it now stands derelict with its future uncertain.
