I designed and painted the imagery on this bowl on the Thanksgiving weekend, and it was recently fired and sent to me. It took two days to finish - next year I'm doing a simpler design. (The bowl itself was made by my mom.)

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.
Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

Some spooky art I made at a Hallowe'en party.
(1) The craft supplies included some googly eyes, so I incorporated them into a painting.
(2) The dragon model (right) was painted by my friend Chris; I made the painting (left) of the model.

Remember kids, you're more likely to be killed by a car on Hallowe'en than by poisoned candy. So just to be safe, make sure to eat lots of poisoned candy. I'm pretty sure that's how statistics work.

Got the urge to work on a project I’ve been ignoring for several months, but I’m out running errands. All good though, I’m sure I’ll feel the same when I get home

If they ever make a spreadable cheese based on clarified butter, they should call it "Ghee Whiz".

There's a horror movie coming out called "Ouija". It's rated Puija-13.

just thinking about the first time i met Dr. Goodall. I was at the Dallas Zoo and ran into her out of the blue. I told her I was a huge fan and I'll never forget her response: "I am not Jane Goodall. I'm not even a woman. Please stop shaking my hand."
that's just how Jane was, incredibly humble.

The bad news is, AI nostalgia slop is all the rage. The good news is, it's given me an excuse to promote my 2022 animated short film with a very similar theme.

Need to let the world know that due to my wife drip-feeding me the news, sagely advising me not to seek out video, and calling him "that right wing Kirk guy," for a full four hours yesterday I thought this was all about Kirk Cameron.

Maybe the movie is fine, but the presentation of the logo almost seems like a parody of Disney movie announcements, i.e. generically whimsical one-word title in front of a black background.

I appreciate the message and I hate to be pedantic, but the first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to sing a gibberish parody of the French song "Titine".

I've been experimenting with Pytorch recently. I've been training networks on a sketch page I drew, experimenting with different numbers of layers and the size of the window I train it on.
The first image is my original sketch. The next 3 are the results of different models trained on it.

My 2022 film "Happyverse", made for the SNG 2022 Festival and which later showed in Animaze 2023.
At first I didn't share this film online because it was still in festivals. Then I didn't share it because I was embarrassed by it. Then I just didn't get around to it, until now:
