Tonight I succumbed to the Chat GPT Action Figure viral trend, and made a funny action figure out of my photo. I’ve had a good giggle today as friends have been making and uploading their own AI “Action Figure” images on social media.
I don’t make my art quilts as a distraction. I make them as an outlet. This week I am finishing a new piece as a tribute to Theia, the juvenile wolf who was run over (“whacked”) by a snowmobile last year. Long ago I knew someone who had a wolf rescue at their mountain home. The wolves and wolf hybrids would leap on the roof of the house and howl at dusk. They were very intense and soulful, and made quite an impression on me. I’ve been very fortunate as a photographer and traveler to experience that moment eye-to-eye with many wild animals in their natural habitat. It is something you never forget, and you come away with the clear impression that this is a sentient being.
Have you subscribed to the blog on my artist website yet? If not, now might be a good time because I’ve started a series of posts about my trip to Japan. Read the Kyoto prologue, and sign up on this page for the next installment!
If you are a fan of Frida Kahlo art, Day of the Dead imagery, or if you have ever loved and lost a cat….the image above might inspire your next quilt. It features a new panel which I call “Frida’s Cat”. The Ombre Rainbow Florals and Butterflies are pretty stunning also. This will be featured in this Saturday’s e-newsletter of new products, but you might want to snap it up now.
