PRINTS

Just after Joe Marshall mentioned Showcard presses, Ellie got one for FREE:

This is like Henry's Letter Press Proofing Press that we are envious of, as it makes a perfect print every time:

Both Ellie's new press and Henry Morales' press can be taken on site to make prints, but they are too heavy to take on the train up to Santa Fe.  We have been taking the Sizzix Big Shot Plus to openings , and will soon carry the Fuse Creativity System to other public events (as soon as we made a press bed for the Fuse):

AI ART

BLUR

The new AI tools are a big blur to me right now, as I realize that I have to reorient how I use AI to generate art.  I have already used GPT 3, WEBSIM and DEEP SEEK to write simple AI ART programs in HTML.  However it seems like Google AI Studio might be more powerful -- if it doesn't write AI programs for me, it will pace me through using other programs, like Blender:

Google AI Studio:

• (YouTube):  The Death of Blender Tutorials? | Google AI Studio
• (YouTube):  The End of Tutorials? This Free AI Changes How You Learn Software Forever | Google AI Studio
• (YouTube):  Google AI Studio for Beginners

The next step really is to install the AI ART programs on a powerful personal computer and run them locally.  However that gets a little convoluted as apparently I have to install other programs first -- PINOKIO, SWARMUI, LM STUDIO, OLAMA -- before I can download and install the AI ART programs.  Are these programs safe, and how beefy of a laptop/computer do I need to run all of them?

Installing with PINOKIO:

While a lot of these AI tools have just come out this year, I already feel behind the average college student, who probably needs to be fluent in AI just to deliver his homework.
