The facial “lotion” that I have been applying in the past fortnight turned out to be cleansing gel.

Dream earlier this morning
– rough Google Keep drawing after waking up followed by Adobe Fresco vector drawing later in the evening
Probably as a reflection of our trips last week to different destinations, I dreamed about this Google map showing us traveling to the same island without being far away.

Fallen leaves
Animated some leaves over a photo I took of a package of fallen leaves collected by a worker whose process I observed while having lunch on a high floor balcony the other day.

Acorns
Process: paint one acorn in Adobe Fresco from which create custom brush in Adobe Capture and paint back many acorns in Adobe Fresco.
Inspiration: witnessed the prodigious quantity of acorns on the ground and wondered about its potential as a food source (edible by humans after leaching out the tannins).

Sleep infinity
I was trying to keep my (interactive) run-ai job running instead of being “succeeded” and realized that I could use “sleep infinity” as the entry command.

Accidental art from a broken train station display
Saw this broken train station display showing intriguing patterns caused by the interactions between the surrounding light and display structure, and got some inspiration to create abstract art from it.

Cupcake wars – motion graphics
This is an experiment to create motion graphics from the original poster image (in the event email), which, upon looking at it, prompted me to want to animate the cupcake topping.
I started by twirling the topping via Motionleap, selecting the candy particles via Photoshop and animating them via Fresco Motion, followed by generative stylization via a comfyUI workflow (using the MotionLeap + Fresco video as control and its first frame as style input for IP-adapter). The challenge is that the output background won’t be completely black/transparent (which hopefully will be fixed soon in standard generative video workflows), and thus for now I did some masking and keying in After Effects as a workaround for proper compositing.

Cupcake wars – virtual decoration
There was an employee event for cupcake decoration competition on Thursday afternoon. I took a few bases, which seemed healthier than the toppings, and decorated them virtually via company products.

Fleeting moments
While driving back home on August 22, 2024 evening around 8:30 PM, I saw this impressive pale blue sky with dark clouds. I did a quick drawing the next evening and planned to refine it later. Then I realized that there are many fleeting moments in life that were better captured without further delays.
