Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:

PRINTS

Barbara Endicott drew on an expanded PVC foam square with the idea of making a print, using a light turquoise ball point pen to "draw the whites." Then she inked the plate with waterbased Speedball ink to see how it would look when printed:

So I tried to repeat the idea, of "drawing the whites." I first tried to tint the plate by covering it with pencil, though that wasn't dark enough. Then I drew into the foam plate with a white gel ballpoint pen. The pen was hard enough to gouge the foam, but I don't know that it actually made any white marks:

the lines do not protrude,

but rather are gouged into the PVC foam

Our Desert Triangle Print Carpeta exhibition opened at the University of Arizona Art Museum in Tucson on Saturday, June 10th, 2023, and they made a couple of Instagram posts about it:

AI ART

There are more AI Art tools coming out everyday, and I used a couple of new ones for free -- Clipdrop and MusicGen:

I "uncropped" an AI art image I made in Midjourney

using Clipdrop

I made test prints on June 14th,

on the large scale printers at Quelab,

the top is from Photoshop (after image was enlarged),

the bottom is from Vinyl Master (unenlarged image)

Then I added AI music created with MusicGen, to make the video below. I actually uploaded a song to the demo program, and the program made an AI variation of that song:
