Kitty Glitter

Now, the point of this was to come up with a box advertising "Kitty Glitter", which would make cleaning out the litter box an adventure to be looked forward to by every young pet owner. My marketing strategy was simple, in every box of kitty glitter put some chocolate filled pieces of eight, maybe a pearl necklace, plastic gems, and let the kids screen for the treasures as they clean out the litter box. 

Given the inevitable success of this I imagined we could come up with some "Prospector Boxes", wherein gold nuggets & various gems could be found, "Paleontological Boxes", wherein the kids could find dinosaur bones, and "Archeological Boxes", wherein the eagle-eyed shit-sifter could find some potshards from any one of a number of civilizations. 

Anyways, plugged this into Dall-E: "A box of Kitty Litter, with a photorealistic one-eyed cat in a pirate costume. The title of the box: "Kitty Glitter", the bottom should read: "Now With Real Pirate Treasure!"."

And got this out;

Not bad, but I'm not going to be laying off marketing any time soon...

...the treasures of Aladdin

Well, no, but a couple of the more interesting finds from the last few weeks. The first, an old "commemorative" newspaper from Nelson, Circa 1961.

the second I spotted on a walk about the store, odd, I know, I usually don't walk around the shop so once in a blue moon there's a surprise.

This was it. An erotic carving of two naked women embracing, one, by the helmet some sort of Spartan, the other? Well, curious, and it's out of an old cow's shinbone. 

Which makes it doubly curious. Currently priced at $20.00 in the silent auction, I might just have to bid...

...because, really, how have I lived this long without one?

Dall-E: The Variety Show

Playing with Dall-E and wondered what it would come up with for a handbill for the infamous show put on by Woland and Behemoth at the Variety Theatre in Moscow.

Some good results, starting points, I would suggest.

I'm not certain if that's real Russian/Cyrillic, or not, and if it is what it might be saying...

Tried it on a different AI generator - Stable Diffusion - these were the results:

About the Author

Playing with Dall-E, trying to generate some relevant images. "About the Author", with a few parameters. Some interesting results....

This is, I'm sure you'll agree, far better than having me model for the photos..."Close Enough!!!!" I'd say, and be done with it...
