Drawer/painter, bodycaster, noismaker, photo/video maker etc. I've been known to leave drawings in places for passers by to take for free - #artabandoned
Having done little more than play with AI images and videos in recent weeks (or MONTHS) I thought I really needed to paint something. Mixed media on canvas (roughly 40cm by 50cm ... squared off here by the look of it). No title, as yet. Suggestions welcome.
@upfest.bsky.social 2026 in Bristol had Asthouart cats for the first time in a few years. Here they all are (along with a mouse) waiting to be sold to raise money for the charity @nacoauk.bsky.social . Mouse went to Germany, most cats to places in England (one Spain, one Italy) and they raised £450
A little music video ... In Welsh (well that's what Google tells me. Feedback from Welsh speaking humans more than welcome) youtu.be/1ja26j51Ohc

The song "You" first recorded by 'The Permission' in 2011 was 10 minutes long. It was done with "traditional methods" (not AI). A music video was also made using 3D software. For the current short version I have done the visuals with Grok. youtu.be/8_9rnj7EEPM
Happy New Year to all. I "Dunno" what this is all about. I started it years ago and finished it in "The Ram" in Firle a couple of days ago. #Firle #TheRamInnFirle
Merry Christmas 2025. There she is, out in the world for anyone to find and take. #artabandoned #freeart #FAF #Canterbury #original #art #kent #drawing #originaldrawing #freedrawing
I haven't abandoned any pictures lately but generally leave one for Christmas. I have therefore dashed this off so I can frame it up and leave it in what has become the traditional place on Christmas morning. #artabandoned #original #pencilcrayon #drawing #face #canterbury
The purpose of The Court is to facilitate justice. The Court cannot do this if it is ruled dogmatically by unjust laws or if it is not free of manipulation by government and the powerful. youtu.be/wnbFqlcivGM

I asked Gemini to create a woman's face that in "oil paint". I then asked it to show me the whole woman in a city street at night. I then asked Grok to have her turn round and walk away with a glance over her shoulder. youtube.com/shorts/vaf5K... #aivideo #tightdress #slinkylady #paintedlady

OK - this video has a lot of flaws (some comical like the hat on back to front) BUT - this was created on an AI platform called "MovieFlow" from a single prompt. All I asked for was a woman in a room that is entered by a man in uniform who says, "It is time". youtu.be/Bc0znzo8unk

Few of my books get sold so progress to my target of £500 to donate to @nacoauk.bsky.social by giving them my royalties is so slow- but I reached £250 a while ago and JustGiving gave me a badge! Thanks to a chap called Chris Horn one got sold the other day and got me to £290. No badge tho:(
Real? AI? Or...? I saw a fairy leave a leaf suspended in the air. It circled round me in the street. It didn't have a care. youtube.com/shorts/VoRUI...

Found a frame by a pile of rubbish in the rain so rescued it and drew something to go in it. It may be left out again as #artabandoned. Any title suggestions?
Posted this on other social media - so may as well do same here #tattoogirl #selftattoo #autotattoo #aiImagery #aiVideo

Bit of a 'naughty' kissy clip made in Wan. #kiss #lesbian #womenkissing #prettyfaces #AIvideo
My piece of #freeart from Edgeworth Johnstone at #CamdenLock yesterday. Great to exchange gifts and a bit of chat in the sunshine and happy atmosphere of #camden
Had a lovely trip to #CamdenLock today to meet up with the artist Edgeworth Johnstone and exchange #freeart. This was the picture I drew for him last night and I now own one of his 'Nirvana Cover' disc images.
Playing with AI video creation software. I started with a reference image of a friend but ended up with this clip that I think (correct me if you think otherwise) looks like #NicolaSturgeon with absolutely no reference to that lady at all.
My latest dip into AI film making to try out the new editor known generally as "Nano Banana". youtu.be/JgRo-b93ans

This is where one of my #artabandoned pictures found a home. Many, many thanks to Bev for taking it and letting me know. (I hope that I will learn the fate of the other four pictures. Fingers crossed.)
I have spent the last week in #Cornwall #kernow. While there I drew 5 pictures and left them as #artabandoned #freeart in #Newlyn, #Penzance, #StIves, #Helston. Here they are one at a time. This is the last in #CustomHouseLn, PZ near Abbey House former hotel of #JeanShrimpton
