I’m just going to say this right now;
AI (Artificial “Intelligence”) Is To Art What GMO's Are To Food.
And just how GMO’s are increasingly used by giant multi-national farms, AI art is increasingly being used as a substitute for actual artists. In my estimation, AI generated “Art” has a peculiar look, as if it can only make pretty, if not grotesque, images by imitating other images.
However. . .
Cats ARE Art!
Here’s another thought; When I look at nature, I see art. When I try to understand the meaning of this art, I believe I am beginning to understand the meaning of Creation.
Hello Fellow Travelers,
I have some really fun highlights to share with you!
And because I always strive to bring you something of value, included in this post are items you may want to share with your many fine folks and friends.
First: GREENHOUSE PLANNED FOR MAY. I intend on starting this new project with each step updated here as it comes together! Plus, you will be able to offer suggestions as to its design. I’ll ignore them, of course, but you can still offer them - just kidding, those changes come from On High as my beloved wife does occasionally read my ramblings.
I would LOVE to hear your ideas as to what you would like to see in my next glass enclosure. Below are links to some of my previous projects to give you an idea as to how they generally are made. From the earlies to the latest in descending order;
A few were not listed because they are of a different design from what I plan next.
Now, if I may, please allow me to divert your attention away from the firehose of internet drama and trauma trying to extinguish your optimism and sell you crud you don’t need. Besides, impulse buying leaves you with buyers remorse, sweaty palms and you ultimately wishing the thing never existed in the first place!
So if you are finished doom-scrolling for the day, why don’t you just sit back and forget about your boss, those pesky neighbors and that nagging postnasal drip?
Lets begin to remove all that waxy buildup of corporate industrial disease by frolicking like cats at a catnip factory and throw ourselves into this garden of kitty lettuce of fun!
Relax, take your shoes off and ignore all that pandemonium and humbuggery stirred up by the knaves and scallywags of this world. Take a moment and enjoy your visit to this far-flung outpost of the interwebs and come with me on an adventure into the preternatural. You’re among friends.
(Yes, there will be a tie-in to mosaics, wood art and more, so as the kids say, keep chill.)
Lions And Tigers And Kittens Oh My!

The voyage begins here as you stare into the yin-yang of feline phantasm.
Look into the vortex and unwind. Think of soft, fluffy kitties.
Cat’s are a living artform. Their sleek, efficient and streamlined shape evolved into perfection a long, long time ago and, aside from some minor variables, they’ve remained unchanged. So have sharks, but I’m sure that’s just a coincidink. The best art conveys its message with minimal externalities and has stripped away all the meaningless information leaving only that nice minty-fresh feeling of being awestruck.
The cat is an expression of symmetry, beauty and grace.
Despite this, there are are some outlandish people who have extrapolated that just because cats have almond shaped nocturnal vision eyes that they must be an alien species sent here to enslave us.
Really? How could these fascinating, adorable, cute and cuddly killing machines with razor mittens creatures do anything but want you to feed and cater to them constantly love and comfort them?
Let us begin here
To be sure, cats do have a superiority complex, I’ll admit that, but this just means they’re smart. A dog will look at you and think of you as a God. But a cat, if it looks at you at all, knows that it is God.
For example, if you were to accidentally lock your dog in the trunk of the car, when you open it an hour later, the dog is sooooo happy to see you. That’s Dumb a-f.
Now try locking the cat in your trunk for an hour. HAH! Right? You do that and there will be hell to pay! For Heavens sake cats get angry when you rearrange the furniture! But, a cat will never tell the fuzz where you stashed the weed. That’s because they’re smart!
Whole civilizations once worshiped cats as gods, so it’s understandable they might be a bit smug about that. Some people still do, Wesley Bates is credited with the quote, "There's no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat". He get’s no argument from me!
In order to honor these murderous beasts magnificent friends of ours, behold:
THE BIBLE - ACCORDING TO CATS
(Click on me to enlarge)
Imagine that, a bible on a single page! This is suitable for framing, don’t you think? Since I just happen to make frames, I could put this in any type or style you would like.
If there is enough interest from you readers out there, I will print, frame and sell the below erudite observation written by my friend Ken Barber, a.k.a. The Old Mountain Man. They will be reproduced on high-quality textured paper and placed in my own hand—made pine frames (or wood of your choice) and shipped to you anywhere. I have no idea of the cost or any of those trivial details, it is for cats after all.
If I make a nickel from the sale of these Cat Bible prints, 50% will go to Ken to help endow his dream of building a certain cabin he’s always raved about. Let me know in the comments or send me a message using the links below.
In other cat mews;
Since I’m on the topic of biblical heresy, the below post was written during the fever-pitch panic over the coof and, due to mass formation hypnosis, it may have been overlooked. Because it is closely related to this post, here it is again for those of you who may have missed it.
"AI (Artificial “Intelligence”) Is To Art What GMO's Are To Food." Exactly. Thank you.
Finally. A short and sweet answer to the subject of AI "art".
