My Dog Had a Birthday

 Charlie turned three a few days ago. I generated a few pictures on the computer for the occasion.





As you may have guessed, Charlie is a beagle.

It’s Veterans Day in the USA

I tried several times to make a computer-generated image to honor Veterans Day, but I couldn’t resist playing with different styles so the results were not what I envisioned. I had fun doing it though.







Making AI pictures can be therapeutic. I don’t have the skills to express myself with “real art,“ but sometimes I can do it with AI imaging. At other times the results are surprising or funny. The ones that follow seemed to reflect my mood after the election.



I was using a free image generator, which doesn’t type text accurately. I added text on the last image.

I Dreamed I was Watching…

... civilization unravel. No, I was not asleep. I was looking at the news on the Internet. I am afraid that it was not a dream.

Demure and Mindful

A current catchphrase on social media is "very demure, very mindful."  It was meant tongue in cheek, but I have made AI pictures that meet the criteria, mostly accidentally.







These were all created in August using StarryAI. Mostly I used styles that were created by other users because I wanted to see what they would do. Often they don’t come out demure at all, but that’s a topic for another time.

Porch Pirates

 I read that you should watch out for porch pirates in the days following Amazon Prime days. 


Fortunately, AI was able to show me exactly what to watch for.

It’s Independence Day!




I tried to generate a picture of Washington Crossing the Delaware, but I neglected to say that he was in a boat.

Various Styles of Sadness

It's interesting to experiment with different styles. Mostly, I keep my prompts fairly simple because I’m curious to see what AI will come up with, but I deliberately use different styles. These are generated with StarryAI.

Faces, a bit magical


So many of my AI creations look mundane that I am pleased when I get something different that does not just look like a mistake. The first image is one I made using a style that StarryAI compiled from art that’s on my walls. (You can create your own style by uploading pictures.)

For the rest, I used other people’s styles,  partly to see what they might do.
