Yesterday I found an AI art generative programme. Joanna Penn (the creative penn podcast) talked this week about how she is obsessed with hers and is using it for all things. It is inspiring and fun to run her characters and scenes through the software to see what they came up with as an image. […]
I am out of pretty words My brain cells are fried I’ve been writing for days Typing for miles Traipsing up and down the hills of my mind Pulling stories out of thin air Turning them into words I breath in And out Push my chair back And stare at the wall How peaceful it […]
My shadow is stitched to my foot All that is black and self defeating All the rot Follows me I could cut it off, but then I would never know where it is hiding It could spring from the trees on a perfect summers evening And ambush my feelings Bring me low A lightening blow […]
