AI Art Adventures: Fiddler on the Ref (Ref’ing on Classic Art)
I was going to call this the Art Forgery Edition, but realized that wouldn’t go down too well. My post on the 17th century artist Diego Velázquez made me think. What if I took one of those imaginary lost paintings and used Midjourney to create it, using –sref and –cref parameters? As a plus, he’s …
AI Art Adventures: Homemade Halloween Costumes
In 2018 and 2020 I posted lists of randomly generated Halloween costumes and I thought it would be fun this year to see what Midjourney came up with for those prompts. Most were variations on ” [person] dressed as a [randomly generated thing] , homemade costume, candid, casual photo, Halloween setting –c 15″. The –c …

For this Worldbuilding Wednesday, let’s take another look at Narniaworld. Pics are all AI and I take no credit for any of them.
Passing Obsessions 7-24
Scandal strikes the SFF world again. Writer Neil Gaiman accused of, but denies, sexually assaulting two women, one of whom was the nanny of his child. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, an animated film by Warner Brothers based on Tolkien’s work, releases some preview artwork. (It’s anime style.) In related …
A Not So Wonderful Tea with Tumnus
There was a nice brown egg, lightly boiled, for each of them, and then sardines on toast, and then buttered toast, and then toast with honey, and then a sugar-topped cake. — from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe Let’s see how well AI can recreate this iconic scene. I specified “Cute whimsical faun …
