A Compilation- Part 1

Because, why not?

This is how I think I look to people these days when I have a sniffle.

I keep my energy more protected lately. If I think a person might be thinking about me in a judgemental way or in an unhelpful way, I will announce to the open air that I do not accept that energy. I block it from entering my space and I send it back to them transformed into compassion, healing, and the powers of discernment. I look forward to practicing this and being better and better at it. It makes my stomach release all tension and I can think better.

I do a lot of things purely for the beauty of it now.

I had to share this image that got left behind in the piano competition story. She was the vampire that didn’t “make the cut” in the last story. She is too gorgeous to keep in a file folder.

We have had so much to think about, so much to get away from.

Creativity is our birthright. “Creativity doesn’t exclusively relate to art. We all engage in this act daily. To bring something into existence that wasn’t there before, to find a solution to the problem, have a conversation, take a new route home, or write a note to a friend; what you make doesn’t have to be witnessed, recorded, sold or encased in glass to be a work of art.”¹

We are already creators merely by existing. We are immersed in a field of “undifferentiated matter” and we gather information from that. We are ongoing participants in what is happening. Your life is a form of self-expression. You are a work of art.

This warm red and purple image represents that feeling you get when you know what you are doing and why. It’s a good feeling.

Here is an image that represents that feeling you get when the artist Alex Grey is calling you from down a long hallway. “Alex? I hear you….I am on my way….”

Speaking of Alex Grey, here are a few more prompted with his name included in the prompt as a “style inspiration type.”

That’s that moment when your soul is coming back to your body after you are done dreaming.

I recently had a dream that my own headless body was walking toward me, NAKED! I hit my head recently, so I think the takeaway is that I am glad that I have a head. But that was a terrifying dream. Sheesh :) I look much better WITH a head.

I used the words “Blotter Art” to indicate the art style with the girl in the boots. I also used “foreshortening from her cream boots to the top of her head”. I stated that she was looking at the camera, I specified the colors and I used some descriptive Psychedelic art terminology from my psychedelic art terminology Word Dox.

The above is “prompted by” the words “liquid light show”, a psychedelic art depiction of a man becoming one with the chandelier in the ceiling.

The above lady is stuck in a wall or something. She looks irritated. I hate it when that happens.

Look at the little see-through sphere in her hand.

This beauty is my absolute favorite.

Here are a few more “psychedelic-inspired” promptings:

This guy has had too much of something, I would say.

I think I will make a wedding card out of this for my nephew and his bride. I just specified that everything should be white, I didn’t have a wedding card image in mind but hey, it was destiny.

May the two, bound together in vibration become singular in purpose.

The book I referenced in the quote goes on to explain that we either sense ideas, we tune into them or we remember them. This is much like the book Big Magic, Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert, wherein she describes ideas as floating from one artist to the next. When an idea’s time has come, it has come. If you don’t grab it by the tail and get to work, it will move on to another artist. There is a limitless pool of ideas. We should never worry that we will run out. As long as we are open to doing the work, they will come.

Look at that glass, maybe you should not drink that? I think it has some Starry Night in it! I included “art in the style of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh” in this prompt. Thank you, Vincent, for your beautiful art.

What was in that drink?

What’s the likelihood that more than ONE person would have awesome green boots in the same, rich, and unusual color and at the same party? I would say it’s very slim. Something WEIRD is going on here.

This is that other guy’s friend, trying to figure out how to get up to get some water. Why are these people just hanging out naked? Why not? Who am I to judge? I prefer to stay home and play pool or shoot some darts with my clothes on. To each their own, however.

And now for the blues………

You all bring me magic every time I come here. I hope to cultivate and share my own organic forms of magic by way of other expressions via acrylic art on canvas, illustrator art, and piano music; but for this moment I bring you AI promptings as thanks to you all for your good and beautiful work. It’s what I can manage for the moment. All the rest will come this year. I have much to do! All in good space/time.

I have learned a lot from you all and I shall learn more!

Most of the time we are gathering information whether we are aware of it or not. If you allow yourself to remain open you are able to draw down ideas as they are made available. Stay interested. If something you are researching is bringing you down and making you want to give up, take a break from that. Work on something that interests you and leaves you hopeful and in a peaceful state.

I feel like the woman above is looking at some real Bowl Sheet behavior with disdain. Those people are TRYING her patience. She has the power to destroy them, but instead, she is sending them powers of discernment and humility.

Here is some realism that was inspired by a long-time favorite artist of mine, Frank Frazetta. Thank you, Frank Frazetta, for your amazing inspiration.

I am just in love with land art.

I like to put chunky boots on characters, high-heeled shoes, or nice Italian boots, not only because it adds to the aesthetic but also because it helps the prompting to be more clear that you wish to see the subject’s feet. You can also use the words “long shot” or, “foreshortening, from the feet to the head”, but that doesn’t always work out. A lot of times, depending on how you say that you will get a content warning. The foreshortening can be “too sexy” if you write it a certain way, like if your subject is in skimpy or lacey clothing or cream pants *wink. Sometimes you just have to keep tweaking your verbiage until you get a full-figure image. I use these three tools to do that. Or you can add “vast distance” for more space and that might do the trick. Also, in this case, I could have specified what kind of rock she had her feet on.

Be careful, friend! We need you. This picture makes me anxious.

………………..Moving on through “land art” to “statues”, “the other land art”.

……when you know that you are the best thing going for miles.

A hasty departure, and is he just walking on people’s heads? Slow down, everyone. :)

Me, at midday, when it’s beautiful outside.

One of those babies is looking a little bit strange, but it’s still beautiful. He’s just a “weirdy” baby doing a confused little “weirdy baby dance.” *cue weirdy baby dance music. In case you need an example:

Okay, you should probably turn off the Japanese Chicken yodeling now.

It doesn’t really go with the rest of this vibe.

Here is a better choice for viewing the rest of this post:

This is how I feel when I imagine what it must be like to stand inside a pyramid.

I think this is a gargoyle doing the pee-pee dance, just saying. It’s a cool angle though

This is that feeling that washes over you when you go to grab a plate and fork and they are both clean and there are leftovers so you don’t have to cook for anyone. That is divine.

I love this one.

I just need to sit here for a minute to take it all in.

I often say that the person has a “serene expression” or if I want them to look more intense I will say that their face is “full of angst”. I might call their look “sensuous” as well. You have to be careful when you add “sensuous”, however. Do not try that in combination with cream pants. HAhahhaa.

I also like to play with different textures, so now we will move on to gargoyles made of paper mache, cake, and various kinds of paper.

The gargoyles are prompted as “paper mache.” I love this one. I named each different culture that I wanted to represent and placed them on the outside of a gothic mansion. They are ready for the festivities to begin. That reminds me, I also included the word “carnival” in the description of their attire as well.

These are prompted as “made of cake”. I specified three different cultures here as well. We run into some problems with their hands in this image, but we can just eat those first and no one will know. (do not steal this last sentence and claim that my post here is about cannibalism!- I know you would NEVER do that to me ) I have noticed that “feature difficulties” are more prevalent with clay and with cake prompts. If you want to do some really scary images, use clay.

Here is “a cake”. I want to eat that coral/orange flower in the front.

These guys are prompted as “paper mache” and as “throwing confetti”. Also, I threw a few off the side of the mansion just for fun. It looks like they are having a great time, at the moment….

Many of these are prompted as “inside of” an actual building that exists in the real world. I have a Word document of buildings and ruins (their names and locations) that I use once in a while to change the interiors with the least amount of language necessary. Other times, I spell it out like “a cathedral with stained glass with flying buttresses, columns, frescos, balustrades, grand staircase, velvet wall paneling, tapestries, etc”, but using an existing building allows me to get the impact of all of that and save words for what I am putting inside of it. I cannot recall which cathedral this is, but it is an existing cathedral. I was then able to use my remaining text for the description of the gargoyle.

Moving on..

In these two, I first started with a “golden statue of a man” and then changed the prompt to reflect a “man”. Of course, I dressed him in a 3 piece cream suit. You all are probably starting to gather that I love CREAM!

This prompt is for all my sisters out there. Sisters, take heart. Stand strong. Let the sunlight warm you, breathe the air. We have much to do here together. I am with you for whatever comes. It is an important time to be a woman in the world. Celebrate each other’s beauty and support each other’s efforts. The world wants to set us against each other, silly world. You cannot separate our hearts from each other. Our love is too powerful. We do not need your definitions of who we are. We know who we are. We remember. *I will include an address to all people in the second of this set and an address to my brothers in the third of this set.

I just love this green. I want to be sure to use more of it moving forward. I have always thought that this is a green that I cannot wear, but to heck with it. The next thing I find in this color, I am trying on!

Here, I have removed the men and focused on just the sun mandala. This is the sun before the imposition of daylight savings time.

The sun, after the imposition of daylight savings time. :) Daylight savings time makes celestial beings cry. End daylight savings time.

Don’t worry, she can breathe, it’s an optical illusion. This is an example of a prompt that I was tweaking and finding success with, so I just added “In A Glass Sphere” at the very beginning of the prompt. I have also used “In A Glass Rectangle, Twisted,” and gotten some nice results.

Note, her lovely green boots and the fact that she is standing on a rock, and there is vast space, therefore I was mostly assured of a full figure shot.

Some more land art lovers, a little too exuberant for my tastes. I will just sit high upon this rock and watch, thank you. (I like to send someone flying through the air once in a while. Haha)

I said that there were “spokes” in the sun design here. I prompted “spokes made of wood”, and “spokes made of brown paper”; you can use “spokes made of” anything. It creates a nice textural backdrop which brings your images forward more and frames out whatever you have placed back there. I think I will do more with spokes in the future with different shapes, other than circles. I just love organic shapes and curves. I cannot recall what the man is made of here. I would have to check back. It is possible that it was a “black statue”, or it could have been “black onyx” or “black stone”. And note, I have “rough wood” surrounding and a rug with intricate patterns. This adds more depth and realism to the look as well. There is also “sacred geometry” on the sun mandala.

I look forward to sharing Part 2 with you……………
