I envisioned this graphical version of the text receipt from a recent restaurant takeout.

I see a ghost in a horse painting
A horse painting that used to hang on a high wall recently broke its rope and fell to the ground, which gave me a chance to close examine it and spot this white ghost hidden within the broad brush strokes.

Tornado
The term trash tornado I heard from this podcast inspired me to create this motion graphics based on a branch I was just working on.

Corgi cam
If you have attended SIGGRAPH this year, you probably have noticed this Corgi cam inside the experience hall of the Vancouver convention center.
I am not sure if there was a live video feed, whether someone was behind the camera, and what was the purpose of this whole setup (except for people to play with the dog), but below is my sketch of my (imaginary) mental image of the Corgi cam based on a reference photo.

Midjourney
I did some experiments with Midjourney’s prompt-based image generation.
(I am glad that the site imposes GPU compute constraints as otherwise I might be tempted to spend endless time exploring the rabbit hole.)
The first one came from a real life experience I encountered the very same morning: A painting by Joan Miro of a laptop computer that still works after being cracked open by heat coming from the office window, after some iterations here is one I like:
The second one also came from a real-life experience, which I iterated to bring out the vegetables from: A vegetarian descendant of Genghis Khan

Monumental reckoning
Initially I thought these black objects were some kind of construction cones surrounding the plinth only to find out that they are artworks representing African slaves facing the (now empty) space occupied by the (now removed) sculptor of Francis Scott Key.
