Drawn at Art Buddies in Albuquerque (I left early):

ABSTRACT AI

I drew this abstract drawing, and then worked it through a lot of AI to get results...that had little to do with my original drawing:

My initial abstract drawing

before any AI treatments

Petalica Paint

Midjourney

Haiper

EzGif

The abstract drawing above

passed through multiple AI treatments

Midjourney has a new feature where they will let one "re-texture" an image that one uploads -- so I uploaded my abstract drawing and "re-textured" it with prompts referring to other artists:

prompt: "drawing by Giacometti"

prompt: "drawing by Ingres"

prompt: "drawing by R Crumb"

Midjourney "re-texture" interface

PRINTS

Joe Marshall sent me photos from Tucson of the new tessellation tile prints he carved:

Previous announcement from Joe Marshall at the Heart of The Sun Gallery in Tucson:

• I got an email from Xerocraft makerspace on November 12th.  It looks like I can send them a stack of linoleum, and they will laser cut it into "hat" tiles for me.  Then Joe Marshall can pick them up for our EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Print project

• I also left a stack of linoleum at the UNM Printmaking Department, if they would like to laser cut some "hat" tiles

• And on November 13th I should be laser cutting some "hat" tiles with a private laser cutter in Albuquerque

• (Plus there is a stack of linoleum to laser cut at UTEP in El Paso)
