KRЯRL DЯAWINGS: SEPTEMBER SUMMARY -- 2025

September disappeared in a PRINT CRUNCH -- while I was blogging about all the printmaking last month, and preparing for the Southwest Print Fiesta next month. I managed to draw a couple of times in Santa Fe at the new Vital Spaces location. However I was too busy to push AI ART as hard as usual, barely trying Google's NANO BANANA (which came out on August 26th).

AI ART

I was so busy with printmaking that I lagged on the AI ART front this month. However I did try Google's NANO BANANA (released on August 26, 2025), and also the new styles function in Midjourney.

Specifically I took a photo of downtown Albuquerque, turned it into an Art Nouveau scene from the 1930s, and then applied various Midjourney styles to that Art Nouveau image to generate different city scenes:
