Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque:
When I went home that night I spotted a raccoon in my backyard:

Maybe it's an omen. PAVEL ACEVEDO came to town, and his power animal is the raccoon, because he takes things and brings them back to the community:

I remixed the murals in the RiNo District of Denver with Midjourney AI:
September 27, 2024 -- Portrait
And maybe my favorite art in the whole RiNo District was this photo at CREMA in the bathroom of a urinal in at the Hole in the Wall bar in Austin ,Texas. I love the nested self-referential concept:
Axoaxoniclab in the Santa Fe art district of Denver. This is an augmented reality furniture by Nicholas Figel. He uses the augmented reality app JigSpace, to target his augmented furniture objects to a specific place in the real world:
We saw a few of these sidewalk light projection ads, in front of businesses in Denver (are they affordable?):

Then I continued to remix and remix using an AI version of a portrait I drew on September 27th, and got the AI portrait murals below:

I thought this was a clever mural outside of CREMA COFFEE:

And maybe my favorite art in the whole RiNo District was this photo at CREMA in the bathroom of a urinal in at the Hole in the Wall bar in Austin ,Texas. I love the nested self-referential concept:
Detailed labeling data
of the art in the bathroom,
of the Austin photo from the Hole in the Wall
I wonder however,
if this posted sign is necessary at CREMA
Unlike in Albuquerque, dogs aren't allowed in the coffee houses in Denver:
I stayed at the Days Inn hotel
just down the street from the Colorado Capital building,
in the Lavender Hill District
Down the street was a Voodoo Donuts
MEOW WOLF
DENVER
My favorite room in Meow Wolf Denver was filled with bad portrait drawings:
Tanya in the Bacon Faces room
I could draw a better portrait than this...
