Makin' Art

Today I discovered a little lightning bolt icon in the Squarespace interface. Clicking it led me to a new AI writing helper—as I suspected/feared it would. But not to worry—as you can see from the previous post, which I allowed the AI to write, mostly, this tool is really going to come in handy.

As has the current Photoshop Beta, with “generative fill.” That’s a technical term for asking a robot to add stuff to your Photoshop for you. I’ve been making art. Here’s some of it.

Majestic Creature

Captured some unexpected fauna in my shot of Bear Peak.

NCAR Fairy

I posted this to Instagram and I think some people thought it was a real fairy.

Spirit

She was blocking the path for no reason and wouldn’t move. Fucking Karen.

The Gathering

This one might just be my masterpiece. Kind of reminds me of Neal Stephenson’s Fall; or Dodge in Hell.

Visitor

Only on Barberry Court.

This is tremendously fun and time-wasting. And, obviously, brilliant shit. It kind of reminds me of some work I’ve seen where people find framed art at Goodwill and add new elements to it. Except it’s my photographs with some weird magical junk layered on. I’m going to be so rich.
