First day of the rest of my Life (again).
On this side of the Hill, there’s likely less days ahead of me than behind me. Makes my awareness of each day more valuable. I don’t always achieve what I want to do, but I have no regrets and I keep trying.

Happy New Year!!!! A bit early for my time zone, but I’m going offline for the rest of the day. 🎉
For anyone using the nostr:npub1nxy4qpqnld6kmpphjykvx2lqwvxmuxluddwjamm4nc29ds3elyzsm5avr7 AI image generators (thank you nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w !!!) I’ve found them to be great for creating parts; images that I then composite in Photoshop into how I really want the final piece to look.
It takes a few attempts to tweak the text to get the AI to render the part image I need. For example “fireworks” included people and/or city, but “fireworks over ocean” rendered larger fireworks with less stuff to edit out.
Same thing with “night sky” = mountain landscapes with only a patch of sky. “Night sky over ocean” rendered much more sky. Didn’t bother mentioning “stars” because AI *loves* to put stars in a night sky, like so many stars I took some out.

Wow. The photo of the two older men walking different paths …. that hits hard. Very good shot. 👏
HNY! Looking forward to seeing more of your art. 🫂🖼️
Another 5 ⭐️ purchase from #nostr - designed and sold by nostr:npub1luvpvkhauqy994y6fcf3djvpc7hszexpsyxqhs87g8fkrhtu5lcqylnmt5 this tshirt is 100% cotton, very soft. It is a straight cut fit, so if you have curves/want some room, you may want to order a size up.

Happy New Year from the Past!!!
Last day to share a piece of your past art for the nostr:npub1wdpfy4xgam85u9wxpuau24qrddpwqk53gexvnnnmguyqqtvspjeqvc0p5m December Art Challenge!

#asknostr - for those who design stuff to be printed on paper sizes for the US (Letter) and everyone else (A4), what dimensions do you use? Or do you just create 2 documents?
I want to make monthly bonus printouts for nostr:npub1wdpfy4xgam85u9wxpuau24qrddpwqk53gexvnnnmguyqqtvspjeqvc0p5m art challenges.
I thought about making one file at 8” x 10” (20.32 cm x 25.4 cm), and let the user’s printer adjust (or not), but wanted to ask to see if there were other options. Thanks!

Thanks for the chance to stack moar sats! Best wishes for 2025! 🥂🎉
Beautiful! For something that large, who pays you? The city? The owner of the building?
Nice! I like how this design finished out. 👍
