Underwater Exploration

Two cute little children playing in a pond

Humans have a long-standing fascination with the underwater world. From the earliest of times, people have been enthralled by stories of what lies beneath the sea. For many, the idea of diving into a new and unexplored realm is an exciting prospect. The allure of the deep blue ocean remains strong, with advances in technology making it easier to explore the depths below. For some, this fascination is a gateway to a lifelong passion for ocean exploration. The ocean’s depths hold so many secrets, and our fascination with uncovering them will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.

Children, too, are curious about the underwater world and its inhabitants. They’d love to explore the depths of the ocean and discover its many wonders. These images are not real-life, obviously as the children are not wearing breathing apparatus, but they are a depiction of our fascination with the beauty of life under the sea.

I rendered these images in MidJourney, an AI image generator that uses deep learning to create stunning visuals from simple text inputs. It uses natural language processing to interpret descriptions and generate images in real-time, allowing for quick and easy creation of visually stunning content and is my favorite of all the art generators right now.

Other Popular AI art apps include Neural Style Transfer, Artbreeder, Google AutoDraw, and DeepDream. Each of these apps provide users with a variety of tools to create beautiful works of art using AI technology. Deepart.io uses artificial intelligence to transform photos into AI art. Pix2Pix uses neural networks to generate images and Artbreeder, which combines existing images to create new artwork.

Dreamlike.art, Night Cafe Studio, Dream Studio, Prisma AI, Google AutoDraw, AI Painter, Deepart, Prisma and the new Adobe Firefly all allow users to turn their photos into works of art with various AI filters, while Google AutoDraw uses machine learning to convert sketches into digital art. AI Painter allows users to create abstract art based on photographs, using a variety of AI-generated painting styles.

Monsters of the Deep!

by

From the ancient mariners who carved sea serpents into the prows of their ships to the modern-day fisherman who hangs a plastic one from his boat, we have always had a fascination with the monsters of the deep. But what is it about these creatures that we find so intriguing? Is it their size? Their power? Their mystery? Or is it something else entirely?

Some of our earliest fear of monsters comes from mythology. The ancient Greeks told stories about creatures like the Kraken, a giant squid that was said to haunt the seas. In more recent history, we have been afraid of sharks and whales because they are large and dangerous animals.

Disclaimer: these are my imaginary depictions of Monsters of the Deep, not photographs of real monsters

Despite our fear of them, the monsters of the deep can teach us a lot about life. For example, they can show us the importance of cooperation and working together. Sharks live in groups called ‘packs’, and they work together to hunt and kill their prey. Whales are also known to be very intelligent animals. They have been known to help humans in distress, and they have even been known to mourn the death of one of their own.

To overcome your fear of the monsters of the deep, there are a few things you can do. Firstly, educating yourself about these animals can help. Learning about their behaviors, habitats and how they interact with humans can help reduce the fear of the unknown. Additionally, you can try confronting your fear by facing it head on. One way to do this is through scuba diving or snorkeling, which can give you a firsthand experience of the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. It’s important to remember that these animals are a vital part of our planet’s ecosystem and should be treated with respect and understanding.

What do you think of these pictures? Could they depict an Easter of the past or is this a peek into the future?

Eater Old or new?

Maybe an Easter Bunny from Another Planet?

Moving Across Country

by

My place is very messy at the moment, not at all like the image above, but that is the goal – to reduce my belongings acquired over 20+ years into about 10 large packing boxes. Why, because I’m moving across Australia from Brisbane in Queensland to Perth in Western Australia. Why? To be closer to my daughters and their families at last plus the bonus of my first great-grandchild to be making an appearance later in the year!

What Do You Strive For?

by

Although I am in my senior years, I still want to be “doing things” and want to use my time for in a worthwhile and balanced way – so time for work, time to read & relax, time to help others at least in a small way. I was browsing quotes & found this one that summed up my current way of thinking.

This image made with The Graphics Creator from Laughingbird Software. I’ve been using it for more than 10 years & it’s probably my go-to for quick blog or social media posts.

Having fun with Repper App

by

Just upload an image, go to the Patterns Tab, choose a Tiling Option the move your cursor to select the area to create amazingly attractive patterns. Lots of tiles to choose from, both seamless & seamed & several Effects to get even more types of patterns.

Seamless patterns work well as backgrounds because it means that the image elements on the edges of your image need to match up with what is next to it, so when put together you can’t tell where one ends and another begins.

Here are some examples of my recent work. The starting image is one I created using the AI Art creator NightCafe Studio:

Using Patterns to decorate physical products:

Print on Demand is a printing process where the customer can order any product they want, and it will be printed and delivered to them as soon as possible.

This is a new way of printing that has been made possible by digital printing technologies. It has seen a rise in popularity in recent years because it allows for the production of customized products without the need for inventory storage or large-scale production.

Print on demand is also known as “short run” or “on demand” printing, which means that the customer can print one copy at a time.

It’s very popular with clothing companies because they don’t have to keep many different sizes in stock.

The images below show how my designs would look used on Mugs, pillows/cushions, T-shirts or make a scarf:

Spring Down Under

Spring Down Under

Any time is a good time to see flowers, they raise our vibrations or our spirits, whatever way you like to describe it, but it’s hard to see beautiful flowers and not feel some joy in living, at least that’s my opinion.

Here is a photo of my lovely orchid, the first time I’ve had three flowers.
