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.

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.
