I'm sitting in my apartment at my art table thinking about the next pic.

Say something, say something

Then say something, say something, then say something

I don't want to get caught up in the rhythm of it

But I can't get help myself, no, I can't help myself, no, no

...

Maybe I'm looking for something I can't have

Look what I found on the shelf.

A special exhibition of Photorealism in Parrish Art Museum. This is a painting by John Kacere.

Blohm and Voss Bv 238 was an extremely large flying boat with tremendous payload capabilities.

For this frame I used the original shot of the diorama plus two other photos to achieve the photorealism.

After a needed stop, i'm back, hope you don't forgot my art! Also here to announce i've recently created a twitter account, for those photos more ''savage'', I will keep posting here, but due to recent flickr policy and rules changes you will find here the censored version.

Tysm all, my tw is @Dhabxie and you can find it on my profile links, cheers! xx

Elegant Tern

Thalasseus elegans

I found this interesting wall painting while exploring Zagreb. I was intrigued with the photorealism of the image, the colors, and the juxtaposition of the painting with the decaying apartment building.

Buteo lineatus

Chloroceryle americana

Candid photo of a Washington DC Metro driver, tweaked in Topaz Studio software in the photorealism style. Inspired by the Photo Realism techniques of Richard Estes.

Human-Caused Environmental Change

The growth of cities and suburbs may cause biodiversity to decline by fragmenting large areas of natural habitat on which many species depend. Only 15% of the Earth's land surface is some form of nature reserve or national park. Meanwhile the global cost of environmental damage is estimated of about 11% of global GDP (Gross Domestic Product).

Thalasseus maximus

from abstract expressionism to computer imaging, was at the forefront of the art movement known as photorealism. . His 1966 landmark Jewish Museum solo exhibition launched this new genre of photo-based painting. Though dubbed by Barbara Rose “the grandfather of photorealism”, Kanovitz’s work transcended that classification in the concept of realism is too narrow.”[2] The preeminent art historian Sam Hunter described how Kanovitz’s “meticulous airbrush technique and exactness of vision produce an atmosphere of doubt rather than certitude and posed questions of meaning which challenge the very nature of the artistic experience. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Kanovitz

Elegant Tern

Thalasseus elegans

The population of this bird is between 51,000 and 90,000 individuals. Their conservation status is Near Threatened, but ...

Elegant Terns have been gambling on conditions staying the same for many centuries now. More than 95% of the entire population nests on one small island in the Sea of Cortez between Mexico’s Baja Peninsula and the mainland.

Researchers showed that when ocean temperatures warmed more than 1°C (1.8°F) above normal, fish availability decreased in the Gulf of California resulting in lowered nesting success. During these event years, large numbers of terns were found to be nesting in Southern California, near San Diego and Los Angeles.

Pelecanus erythrorhynchos

I've been asked how I produce these pictures so here's a very brief summary. Basically Midjourney is an engine (or 'bot') that you can run within Discord. When running Midjourney, you ask the bot to 'imagine' a particular picture by putting the description of that picture against a 'prompt'. So for example for this picture I asked Midjourney to imagine a 'face shot of young julie delpy in before sunrise, slim face, wavy blonde hair, realistic small hands, red finger nails'. I also told the bot how I wanted the picture to look in terms of photorealism, lighting, resolution, picture proportions etc.

The bot then generates pictures based on your prompt. You can take these as they are, generate variations of them, or rerun the prompt to generate fresh ideas.

When you're happy you can upscale the picture for download and processing. I usually find I need to run the picture through photo restoration software to correct minor facial defects, and I then process the picture as I would have done my Second Life pictures. Hope this all makes sense! Over the next couple of days I'll show two more of my 'Julie' pictures to show how you can play around with different ideas

My favourite pictures of September so far

Here is a detailed section from the mural painted on commission from the Launceston Veterinary Hospital. Don't you just love those eyes?

Foley's ability in these murals to paint photorealism with a contemporary artist's flair (and swirls) is quite unique. He is a little more abstract in his purely artistic work, and it was just such an approach that led him to being awarded the Glover Prize for a landscape in 2011. www.johnglover.com.au/product/gees-lookout/

Pelecanus occidentalis

California's brown pelicans are one of only two pelican species in the world that dive.

Conservation status: Least concern

By 1970, the species was declared Endangered. Fortunately, in 1972, the Environmental Protection Agency banned the use of DDT in the United States. As a result, the level of DDT in the environment has decreased in most areas, and the reproductive success of Brown Pelicans has increased.

The brown pelican is no longer an endangered species as of 2009, when it was removed from the United States' Endangered Species.

You are always at your best when you love yourself.
