Wild manipulation

 It isn't often that I talk about my "cafe art". I show my creations over at Silver Canvas (Silver Canvas – a gallery of playful photo art) and Ludwig Gallery (Home - Ludwig.Gallery) among other places. 

Here is the starting photo for my latest item:


Sometimes it takes me a while before I am happy with an item. This one even I liked:


Yes, that got "created" from the cloud photo via a long digital manipulation session. When I do like one well enough I add it to my online "gallery store", first at Ludwig Keck - Official Website and then it also becomes available in my "private membership store" usually at a 20% discount. 

Occassionally I check to see if everything is working. Earlier today it wasn't. I struggled and could not get into my own store. Finally managed to get it working again. Checked once more. To make sure it functioned I even paid for a membership myself. Seemed to work.

Please look around in my "store" - it doesn't cost anything to see Kaleimodoodle 25o711 by Ludwig Keck - there are many options, even reproduced on merchandise like a coffee mug or pillow. And if you really like it, well, you can get it a bit cheaper in my membership store. Not many people find my place. I don't advertise. 

I would like your thoughts on my art there.

Chuckling

 I had a good laugh this morning. This is what I was chuckling about: "Unlock the Secrect of Mesmerizing Art! Explore Kaleimodoodle, a stunning fusion of kaleidoscope patterns & doodle art. Get ready to be hypnotized! Discover more and shop now".

It was an A.I. creation of Meta on Facebook to get $77 from me. I didn't fall for it. Their proposed ad misses: this art is not for sale.

These days most everything seems to be about money. This piece is not:

Kaleimodoodle – 250707 – Silver Canvas



So what is this about? Well, what do you think?
