FEBRUARY SUMMARY -- 2026

I used the new Nano Banana 2 to display the best AI versions of from drawings this month (mostly as sculptures) as if they were in a museum -- in contrast to Henry Morales' real print exhibitions at the Juan Tabo and Tijeras Public Libraries in Albuquerque:

I asked Nano Banana 2 for a view from the opposite side


The FAKE museum show above featured AI interpretations of my drawings this month, from the following blog posts:

We drew at the SECRET GALLERY on February 28, 2026, at the ARRIVE HOTEL in Albuquerque, during a session run by Ben Harrison:

Mark Archuleta came to film Ben Harrison, the organizer of the drawing session, to make a video about him on his YouTube Channel -- Meet the Artist:

Julianna Kirwin told me about this new coffee-and-printmaking place in Old Town Albuquerque -- so the next day (March 1, 2026) I went to check out Print Bound Press:
