Irregular tortillas

During July 23 2024 lunch time, I saw the company cafeteria staff trying to fix the tortillas machine that was doling out irregularly shaped portions which I commented to be still edible and uniquely artistic.

Arrived at the airport too late, with the boarding pass showing “too late” instead of the gate information.

Sprinkler-induced rainbow

It was quite pleasant to feel the sprinkler and see the rainbow it induced during a heat wave. From the captured photo I tried to convey the heat and color at the moment with a generative video.

Saw this nice combination of coastal pig-face and African flag plants a few weeks earlier and finally managed to draw my impression with vector brushes.

Rock rose custom brush

From the rock rose photo I created a custom brush via Adobe Capture, which automatically goes into my Creative Cloud library and can be used in Fresco.
It felt satisfying to roll and drag the rose brush around.

Leg cramp exercise dream

I dreamed about doing some footwork exercises on early morning in May 23 2024 and ended up waking up with a severe leg cramp.

Newspaper photo of Genghis Khan

I hypothesized these newspaper “photos” of Genghis Khan via a IP-Adapter ComfyUI workflow that combines the structure of his portrait and the style of a real newspaper photo of my late grandfather.
(Their ancestral relationship could lend to some credibility of this experiment.)

Clover mites

I noticed these tiny red creatures crawling around on the concrete tiles, too tiny to be photographed by my cell phone camera. This is my attempt to draw and animate their appearances and motions.
