OCTOBER SUMMARY -- 2024

The October Printmaking Blitz kept me busy all month.  We were consumed with printmaking when Pavel came to Albuquerque, and then later also in Silver City for the Southwest Print Fiesta 2024:












PAVEL ACEVEDO

PAVEL ACEVEDO came from California to give workshops and make a community print at UNM from September 30 to October 5, 2024:

AI ART

I did not do much with AI or digital art this month, however we did remix some of the murals in the RiNo District of Denver with AI:




Also we found someone mastering Augmented Reality in the Santa Fe Arts District of Denver at Axoaxoniclab.  Nichola Figel was using JigSpace software to target his augmented reality creations in specific spots in the real world:

RACCOONS

Pavel's prints had a bigger impact on me.  His power animal, the raccoon "agitator," surfaced in my back yard after he came to town:
