October 26, 2021

The Tuesday Night drawing group of Santa Fe drew together online using Zoom, because of the Covid 19 quarantine. The model was from Maryland.  I missed the previous two drawing sessions with the Santa Fe group.


Krrrl Drawings -- October 26, 2021


AI DRAWINGS

I pushed the six following figure drawings through the same steps using these online AI programs:

@kingdomakrillic posted a lot of examples with different prompts using the VQGAN+CLIP program.  I wanted black-and-white results, so I choose to enter "pencil drawing" after checking out all his examples.  "Charcoal drawing" is another prompt that leads to black-and-white results.






prompts:  pencil drawing




Petalica Paint




prompts:  pencil drawing








prompts:  pencil drawing


The VQGAN+CLIP treatments are certainly very impressive, and I was pleased at how the other AI programs enhanced the results.  However the VQGAN results have nothing to do with my original input drawing.  They are something else completely.

PRINT

I drew on a expanded PVC foam board in order to cut it afterwards and make a relief print:

Tanya Rich attended the opening of the En La Obrera gallery in Mexico City on October 29th.  I took a screen shot from the story posted on Instagram.  The gallery is part of the serigraph studio Taller 75 Grados, located around the corner.  Taller 75 Grados is where we produced one third of the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta, and also where we first showed those prints at their 32nd Anniversary fiesta in 2021.

On that same night, Friday, October 29th, I went to Hecho A Mano gallery in Santa Fe for the residency reception of Alfonso Barerra from Oaxaca.  We also saw him at the Southwest Print Fiesta.

Earlier I saw Joanna Keane Lopez creating adobe arches as part of her art residency at Site Santa Fe.  Inside they were showing her other pieces:

Quelab was flooding when I got there before 8 PM on Saturday, October 30.  I use this hackerspace as my studio.


One sprinkler broke
and poured thousands of gallons into Quelab,
caving in part of the ceiling


I was greeted before 8 PM
by this glazing of water in the entryway;
the water was over an inch deep 
in some of the lower spots of the building


The water leaked into the parking lot,
and eventually covered a large part of the asphalt


The professionals arrive at about 11 PM
to help save the night


Sam Potter from England visited Quelab last Wednesday and recommended more AI programs:
