The Squeaks Caper

A few years ago, at the height of the nonsense, a friend was sad. Heck, the world was sad. Lawdog, like me, has a bit of the clown in him, so he was doing his part to entertain and amuse the world at large.  I was doing art every day, and he’d been posting funny… Read More The Squeaks Caper

Process of Elimination

I was messing around with art, and thought it would be fun to unpack my thought process as I worked towards what I wanted.  My first prompt to MidJourney was “graceful dryad in green chiffon, fashion photography, green vines –ar 2:3”  I wanted to see what I got for dryad, first, and I really like… Read More Process of Elimination

Art Peregrinations

Drawing Prompts

Every year in October, I take part in the global phenomenon where artists draw every day. Unlike the majority, for copyright issues, I no longer call this by the name the movement started out with, and out of an excess of caution, I also don’t use the prompts lest there be an IP issue with… Read More Drawing Prompts
