Day 25
I asked AI to make a drawing in my style and after 18 iterations with me correcting AI and having them edit it, this is what it came up with. The only thing accurate in the whole drawing is that it has a two-headed snake, something I actually do draw with some frequency. Otherwise, it’s not very good.
Day 26
“Great scientific discoveries have been made by men and women skeeing to verify quite erroneous theories about the nature of things.” – Aldous Huxley

Day 29
I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween!
“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
I drew and posted this a year ago along with the story of my mother’s brain hemorrhage and my extensive burns. Go here to read it.
Day 2
“Education is the progressive discovery of our own ignorance.” – Will Durant, author
And that’s why devout and scared people of any stripe don’t often intellectually venture outside their silo. They don’t want to be challenged when their well being is dependent on them knowing exactly how everything already is. Upset that and kaboom, up goes their world in flames.
Day 3

Day 29
Waiting at SFO
I drew this as I was waiting at the San Francisco airport to come back to Dallas. It was fun because a young girl sitting next to me was watching, mesmerized, the whole time. I asked her if I should show it to the woman and she said yes because it was really good. I think she liked it more than the woman did. I painted it with Copic markers after I got home, finishing it this morning.
Day 30
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but all very lively debate within that spectrum.”
