NEW MEXICO SCHOLASTIC AWARD WINNERS 

I walked into a high school art exhibition -- the New Mexico Scholastic Award Winners show -- during the First Friday downtown ABQ Artwalk on February 3, 2023.  It was only a few blocks from my house in Barelas, at the Orpheum Community Hub in Albuquerque.  I was pleased to see high school artists from EL PASO on display amongst the New Mexican artists:

One of Diane Vera's students in El Paso, Sarah Uribe, had a print hanging in the gallery:

ABQ ARTWALK

In addition to the New Mexico/El Paso high school art show, I also checked out Ben Harrison's opening at the Red Door Brewing Company during the downtown ABQ Artwalk:

When I saw the "Coyoacan" metro sign I had to buy this giclee of Frida by Cosmic Desert.  I rode this olive green metro all the time around 1990, between UNAM university and downtown Mexico City.  This subway station was only two stops away from the "Division del Norte" station, by my house:

 AI Art


I looked up "krrrl drawings" on You.com and found that Autolume Acedia had used my AI figure drawing model -- http://krrrl.blogspot.com/2020/08/runway-ml-3rd-model-based-on-long-poses.html -- to in part create some the second video on their website.  It was part of an exterior exhibition in Kelowna, British Columbia in February 2022:

They even credited my AI model:

Quelab is thawing out nicely after the flood and the Covid lockdown.  They are building an airplane, a silk screening station, and the big CNC machine is operating.
