Finally posting a bunch of photos from last year. Hopefully I can establish a workflow and habit.

Some New Photos

It’s been a while, trying to set up a workflow to add proper alt text and publish widely. Still working on it.

Finally, A New Post

Still trying to get some kind of posting workflow happening, very much a work in progress.

I’ve been down the AI rabbit hole with Stable Diffusion, using the AUTOMATIC1111 script- keeps things relatively easy to set up and update. What’s fascinated me most is the animation extension, Deforum. I’ve created a new Youtube channel for the experiments-

There’s also some folders in my Junk Drawer-

I just finished this video for my main Youtube channel-

In putting the video together, and other exploring, I generated large number of images. I wanted to share a few here. The captions are the artists I prompted.

John William Waterhouse
Egon Schiele
Austin Osman Spare
Norman Rockwell

I’ll. hopefully, be posting more. Maybe dive into the workflow of these things.
