An afternoon of NFT creation IMAGES THAT SOMETIME STARTLE YOUR EYES… I’ve been fascinated by the images from historical Japan. The amount of knowledge backed up or taught to the Artificial Intelligence systems is a challenge and joy to discover the pictures that emerge with just a few written words for a prompt. With the words: “ Realistic general portrait of a warrior Samurai, elaborate realism, handsome,” The NightCafe Creator produced this image: And I’ve published five altogether from the day’s work: I prompted for: “Realistic general shot of a geisha, elaborate realism, elegant.” And that’s all I needed to create this striking presence of a very put-together geisha. Next came this serious, perhaps suspicious, gentleman: The fourth one is this very contained, Geisha lady. The marks on her face are something I have to question.

Chaos in America?
Under the black wing of a Swan? What does this even mean? “Prepare for complete economic collapse.” Voices screaming from headlines, “Get your money out of the bank, now!” What is happening in our very mixed-up world? I see warnings of a Black Swan Event.

The New World of NFT's
I've been exploring the new strange world of NFTs----Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are the hottest trend for the past couple of months. They look like this: These are created from art or photos using artificial intelligence to produce the final artwork. As you see they can go from very abstract to semi realistic paintings. When published they can be sold in a newly developing world of investment art. Some are selling for 100s-of-thousands of dollars. Shocking! These three are my exploratory work in development. I still have a lot to learn. The world changes faster than we can keep up. But it's fun to keep learning. Hang in there everyone! --iggy
