Singing head
I quickly sketched this sculpture on my moto-x4 phone in the museum but opted to add motion graphics over a stock photo at home later.

Depicting a power sucking process running amok on a wearable device
A few days ago I noticed that my fitness tracker was losing power almost as fast as it could be charged, which turned out to be caused by a very power hungry background process. The issue was resolved by rebooting the device.

Impression of an evening lamp over an utility cottage
I painted from impression the scene of this little cottage, built around utility equipments, lit by a nearby yellow lamp after dark.
(For more background information, I recommend this.)
Stable diffusion can work well for this case.

I dreamed about making an U-turn on my bike over the side of a school bus
This is a dream I had over a year ago about taking a U-turn on my bike over the side of a school bus in a junction of the University avenue at Stanford university. (The dream might relate to my once getting stopped by a campus police for over-speeding on a bike.)
I have been having difficulty sketching what I saw in my dream, and finally decided to do the best I could with some visual references (bike turn, school bus).
Stable diffusion seems to have difficulty with such out-of-sample case.
