So, October is a spooky month, for Halloween reasons… And I bought a 14-inch doll’s skeletal remains in a local store. I decided to use this particular photo to make some creepy experimental stuff.

The fairy posing for me in the original photo began complaining as I operated on the image with both my computer stylus and my AI editing program called AI Mirror.

I thought maybe this was a little better. It still made Melodyhopper the Butterfly Child cry fairy tears.

Mel found this one better. “But it still makes me feel like Frankenstein’s Monster,” she said with a tear still in her eye. “Well, I like how it makes me look funny,” said Red Skeleton.

So, I finally settled on another portrait of my imaginary granddaughter, Susu.

So, I decided to update my portrait of Red Skelton from colored pencil to digital. Before I finished I happened to notice my Amazon sales report for October. One day old and a large number of pages read from about four different books. And all last week I had at least two somebodies reading from three different books every day. I apparently sold one e-book and had over a thousand pages read in a week for the first time ever on Kindle Unlimited. Has something suddenly broken my way? Or is the world still irredeemably broken?

Okay, the first one is more like him since it is more cross-eyed. I can goof up even in digital.

This picture was created from my porcelain doll made for me by my mother from the pattern and mold called, “Tom Sawyer.” I used my digital art tools to trace the photo and color it in on top of an AI background.

This doll, made by my mother also, I call “Nicole” after my niece whom she resembles.

You can judge for yourself how well I did recreating this photo of Nicole and the Grey Stuffed Dog.

A romantic place to be, but it would be better with at least a couple of bars on the phone.

I am liking the ease of using digital tools to make a picture, but there was a time when I liked oil paint better.

Shirtless Strong Boy… easy to draw like this.

Jenna Ortega, a portrait that almost looks like her… sorta.
