Apparently my AI Assistant was back after a snack, or a smoke, or a visit to the little AI Assistant’s room doing something unmentionable (whatever it is that AI Assistants do when on a break). Anyway, I propose that we understand the letters AI to mean not Artificial Intelligence, but Automated Irritant. This “thing” may be artificial, but it’s more obviously an automaton, a robot without a body, and its far from being really intelligent, its really just a data manager.
As for my one-eyed king, he’s meant to participate in my currently in-progress series of 5 paintings, one of which, in its earlier development can be seen with this post, “The Kitchen Sink.”
I have no hard and fast rules for the development of my subjects, or characters, as things would be (I’ve covered more of that in my post “Imagination – the source of creation“). Sometimes they plant themselves right on the painting with paints and brushes, sometimes they get get roughly lined in with charcoal pencil, avoiding the use of graphite pencils, since graphite doesn’t apply itself well to dried oil-paints and vice-versa, since the deposit of graphite itself, which is a lubricant, is a dubious practice when you want to add paint to that surface. You might as well paint on silicone.
As a notice, my website, as mentioned, is currently being rebuilt to be friendlier, and more sophisticated with its tools and navigation, etc. I’d like to announce some kind of scheduled GRAND OPENING, and may do so later, but its kinda hard to do such when you have no idea how long a chore might take, and if you’re a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants-kinda-guy who is more familiar with being a-fool-who-steps-in-where-even-angels-fear-to-tread creative-type progenitor (in non-traditional ways), then you can pretty much forget it.
As always, feel free to share this post, drop a like or comment, and most importantly make a smile your number one priority in life. Good things will always follow that.
