March 4, 2026

I drew at FUSION in Albuquerque:


Flyer drawing by Ken Romig

AI Evolution of a Sharpie drawing


We projected the AR version of the model
on the stage, as it was based on the same real model

Then I animated the AR version in Midjourney




Nano Banana 2 put clothes on the figure
in the style of my drawing


I got emails from Google saying that Whisk and ImageFX will merge into Flow on April 30, 2026.  Flow let me generate a video, as apparently there is a free tier:

Animation generated with Google's Flow
prompt: "Man texting on his smart phone"

The full version of the Flow generation
with sound

AI Evolution of a Sharpie drawing

Nano Banana 2 prompt:
"Can you put swimming trunks on these figures"

I had to invert the colors
so that Midjourney would not censor the animation





I switched the colors
 in XnView Image>Swap

CATS

Daniel Allen drew these cats, as well as the human model








Adric used the ARTIE 3000 robot to draw a cat at Quelab -- http://192.168.4.1/:

The ARTIE 3000 robot
is proud of the cat it drew


CATS taking over the hackerspace:

Nano Banana 2 prompt:
"Rube Goldberg machine for turning on a light
 at the hackerspace"

Midjourney was unable to turn on the light at the hackerspace --
maybe that's a little too realistic

March 3, 2026

We drew at Sir Henry Morales' studio in Albuquerque:

I asked Nano Banana 2 to add a new sculpture -- 
that I generated from this drawing session (at the right) --

  • NOTE: The Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth has posted a VR tour of their "Myth and Marble" Roman sculpture exhibition, so that visitors online can "walk" through the exhibit as well

I can't get these crisp lines that the AI generates
with the pencil and paper that I'm drawing with

KREA Realtime prompt: 
"Sculpture made of plaster
 in high contrast lighting"

KREA Realtime prompt: 
"Sculpture made of plaster"

The above image refried again in KREA
(with an AI model based on my drawings and Bernini)


The "clothed" sculpture below is what I added to the AI Gallery at the top of this post:

Deep Dream Generator AI Image Editor prompt:
"Put a bikini top and bottom on this sculpture
in the same style as this sculpture"


I could not get Midjourney to animate the whole sculpture,
even after I put a bikini on her
