Tuesday Night Drawing Group Movie

Perhaps the best thing about 2021 was that the Santa Fe drawing group met on Zoom every Tuesday night, right through the Covid 19 pandemic, continuing the group that Eli Levin founded in 1969.  John Tollett made a YouTube movie from the work of all the artists this year  (including mine):

I continued to push my figures through any AI program that I found online.  My favorite was the AI style transfer program Deep Dream Generator, at least until I found a bunch of VQGAN+CLIP programs since July 2021.
