The Tuesday Night drawing group of Santa Fe drew together online using Zoom, because of the Covid 19 quarantine. The model was from Colorado.

The colored images on this post were altered with Deep Dream Generator and XnView.

John Tollett posted some of my drawings on his website under "Tuesday Night Blog."  He also massaged a photo of me in Photoshop, and I further altered it in Deep Dream Generator.

John Tollett also made a mash-up video with me pretending to be Robert Rauschenberg, maybe because we both went to UT Austin.

Holly Grimm reflected on GPT-3 in a blog post, which includes the Aikphrasis project which I participated in.

Holly also pointed out that Runway ML has a green screen program on their site now, to help change the backgrounds in videos.

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham imposed another New Mexico lockdown for two weeks, starting Monday, November 15th.  I can no longer go to the coffee houses and drink pour overs, not inside or outside.
