December 2023 did not slow down one bit:
FIGURE DRAWING
We started drawing the first Wednesday in December at the new venue in Albuquerque -- FUSION -- after the last session at the North Fourth Art Center on November 16th.
after having only gone one other time this year,
AI ART
AI ART and AI Programs continued to accelerate in the last month of 2023:
I remixed works by Henry Moore and Georgia O'Keeffe, that I saw at the Albuquerque Museum -- in thee O'Keeffe and Moore exhibition.
Adam 3D printed one of my AI generated 3D figures on his Bambu 3D printer at his house, and gave it to me on December 12th, Our Lady of Guadalupe day:

I discovered that "Robots Doing Art" also used the 2020 AI model I uploaded to GitHub, for three remixes on YouTube:
Just before Christmas Leonardo.AI released a video function --"Image2Motion":
prompt: "Flying elephants over Mexico City"
And the last minutes of 2023, or the first minutes of 2024, Leonardo.AI released "Realtime Gen":
PRINTS
The OPEN PRESS PRINT EXCHANGE in Germany put out their third Call-to-Printmakers. I participated in the second exchange with the mini-print I did on a 3D printed printing press, earlier this year:
At the beginning of the month, my print was part of the "La Frontera Print Fest" exhibition in El Paso:

We ordered a Sizzix BIG SHOT PLUS press to accommodate 8x8 inch paper, and it printed quite well in both Henry and Ellie's studios. The press is portable, light enough to carry to Santa Fe for hit-and-run printmaking sessions:
Even better is when we add WebAR (Augmented Reality) to the prints, even if we have to use an NFC card:
The Cuban printmaker Marcel Molina has been on my radar ever since we went to Habana in 2018, so I bought this print from Stuart Ashman at his gallery in Santa Fe, Artes de Cuba:

Someone tried to steal Alison Aragon's sculpture in Barelas, which she made of her father, around Christmas day. They weren't successful, but the City of Albuquerque had to remove the damaged sculpture for repairs:
