Made with iPad apps Procreate, PhotoWizard, and Aquarella HD. Similar methods and appearance to the next abstract that I loaded early this morning (just after midnight). Still experimenting.
Putting this up for a photo challenge, Rochesterians, this door is located at the Olmsted County History Center. I thought it was a good subject and I'd come back at a better time of day for another shot, but now the "Duplicate (Fix) This Photo Game is here...see the discussion group here:

Earlier this week we mentioned the Universal Construction Kit - a free downloadable selection of adaptors for some of the world's best loved construction kits. The only problem was that you needed a 3D printer to make them.
Well now you have the chance to get your very own 3D printer for your home.
According to their website, ' The MakerBot Replicator™ is the ultimate personal 3D printer, with single or dual extrusion (2-color printing)--and a bigger printing footprint, giving you the superpower to print things BIG!'
Have a look at what can be achieved in the video below. (And sorry but it will set you back $1,749). bit.ly/H9eF3W
Karla Kirkegaard has built her scientific life around viruses, but not in the way most people imagine. She is not driven by fear of them so much as by a deep and almost artistic curiosity about how they work. For her, viruses are not faceless enemies. They are puzzles of staggering elegance, each with its own strategies for persistence, replication, and escape. She has spent decades at Stanford University untangling those strategies, particularly for RNA viruses like poliovirus, and in doing so has illuminated some of the most fundamental processes in molecular biology.
Kirkegaard’s path into virology was not linear. Trained as a chemist, she brought to biology the mindset of someone accustomed to working at the smallest scales. She understood molecules as structures that could be reasoned about, manipulated, and coaxed into revealing their secrets. When she turned her attention to viruses, she brought the same precision and inventiveness. Her work often crossed disciplinary boundaries, moving from the design of molecular tools to probing the inner workings of cells under siege.
Much of her career has been devoted to understanding how viruses replicate and spread within a host. In the case of poliovirus, her research has shown how quickly these pathogens can adapt, shuffling their genetic material in ways that allow them to escape immune defenses or develop resistance to drugs. She has been a leader in studying recombination and quasispecies dynamics, concepts that have reshaped how scientists think about viral populations. Rather than existing as identical copies, viruses exist in swarms of slightly different forms, some of which may be better suited to survive sudden threats. This insight, drawn from careful experiments, has rippled across virology and influenced how we respond to emerging infections.
Kirkegaard’s lab has also contributed to the idea that blocking viral spread within the body can be as important as stopping replication itself. In some of her most striking work, she demonstrated that poliovirus can move directly from one cell to another, bypassing the extracellular space where immune defenses might intercept it. This mode of transmission, once controversial, has now become an important consideration in understanding and controlling viral diseases.
Her influence extends beyond her own research. Kirkegaard has been an admired mentor to generations of young scientists, known for her insistence on rigor, her openness to unconventional ideas, and her ability to frame a problem in a way that makes others want to solve it. In the lab, she cultivates an atmosphere that is both demanding and deeply supportive. The people who train with her often carry her approach forward into their own careers, multiplying her impact.
She is also a gifted communicator, able to explain complex virology in ways that are clear without sacrificing nuance. Whether speaking to students, colleagues, or the public, she conveys the wonder of discovery alongside its practical urgency. The viruses she studies may be deadly, but she refuses to describe them only in terms of threat. They are also among the most ingenious creations of nature, and understanding them is part of understanding life itself.
The portrait captures her in a rare moment of stillness. Leaning casually against the wall of a sunlit hallway at Stanford, she looks toward the camera with the quiet assurance of someone who has spent a lifetime deep in the details of her craft. The shadows fall in sharp geometric patterns, a reminder of the ordered structures she studies, yet her expression is warm and human. It is easy to imagine her turning back to a conversation about an experiment, a molecular pathway, or a student’s new idea.
Karla Kirkegaard’s career is a testament to what happens when intellectual precision meets an unrelenting fascination with the natural world. In her hands, the study of viruses becomes not just an exercise in defense but a sustained exploration of how life operates at its most elemental level.
BOXPOP® REPLICATES HARRY’S HOUSE
Austin, Texas
situation
You may be familiar with Harry Styles. Former boyband member turned soloist debonair popstar. Performer with a magnetizing presence on and off the stage. Conductor of electrifying concerts to sold-out arenas. That Harry Styles. Having just released a highly acclaimed studio album, and currently in the midst of a whirlwind world tour, it could be said that Mr. Styles is enjoying a moment of unprecedented global popularity. One prominent stop of this continent-trekking tour was the Moody Center in Austin, TX this October. A town renowned for its own eclectic fair, this sold out arena was packed to the brim with the Styles faithful. Often camping out the day (or days) before gates opened, once admitted into the arena, there were hours of downtime for fans before Harry would take the stage. Hoping to occupy the time and attentions of devoted concertgoers, Hannah Baker of the Moody Center concocted an interactive set piece in miniature. Looking to recreate scenes from Style’s music videos, the Moody Center entrusted BoxPop® and the Britten Events team to replicate Harry’s House into an experiential event that would promote fan engagement and let them envision themselves as extras on a Harry Styles music video production.
solution
The Britten team started with a 20-foot single container as the template for this set design. A drop stage door was cut and installed along the container length, allowing the full interior to be viewed and utilized. Next a finished partition was framed through the center of the container, creating two juxtaposed sets that could be viewed simultaneously. On the right was a finished bedroom scene, complete with brooding navy floral wallpaper, a clean white coiffured accent wall, complete with installed flooring. This bedroom set was later staged with furnishings to round out the retro inspired, cozy aesthetic interior. The left side was a true spectacle. Drawing direct inspiration from the Harry’s House album cover, the team recreated an inverted living room scene. Complete with a fully carpeted ceiling with lounge chair, midcentury modern couch, and end table with lamp mounted upside down, the result was an upending experience that paid close homage to the album artwork. Accented with a groovy, amorphous meld of vibrant sherbet oranges, sweet reds, and bubblegum pinks, the exterior of the container was befitting of the 70’s inspired, forward blended palette and aesthetic of Harry Styles himself.
impact
The result was a widely popular space for Styles fans to photograph and experience. Inserting themselves into either half of the presentation, concertgoers could envision one another as cast members within the highly curated world of a Harry’s House reality. Perfect for selfie’s along with actual interaction with the set pieces, it was an immediate draw for fans who sought to deepen their concert experience and was a magnetizing focal point for entrants looking for something to do before the show. A substantial addition for the Moody Center venue, this curated portable set piece was a highly successful element of fan engagement, connecting individuals with the mood and vision of Style’s new album, and helped to enrich the concertgoing experience.

The famous Replicator avatar of Grendel's Children. I did not use one in its entirety but assembled the elements of several of them around Alpha; since in their original state these avatars diverge too far from the human and would probably fall outside the Uncanny Valley's threshold.
I have replaced the "Drow" skin with the "Forge" skin designed by Vry Offcourse. This is not really a "nude" skin in that it covers the entire body with metal plates... I think this skin does actually bring Alpha closer into the threshold range.
Replicated and donated as a memorial of those who lost their lives in wars. This replication sits on the north bank of the columbia river where US 97 intersects WA 14. Occasionally, if the weather allows, Mt Hood in Oregon will show up in the background.
Replication of original etched window bug for corner of glass on a rare Ferrari. It's a tiny, tiny, detail.

The Forest Lawn museum in Glendale, at the peak of a massive cemetery, is my favorite. It's a bungled collection of shit from around the world, mostly gaudy replicas and third-tier art, including a selection of Crown Jewel replicas that must be seen to be believed.
One of the main successes of HICAP has been as a source of learning. While there have been many notable results from the pilots, action research, science and outreach activities, the programme has also provided valuable lessons for the development of future programmes working for adaptation and resilience-building in the HKH region and beyond.

This photo is a replication of the fascinating artwork "AXL II" by László Moholy-Nagy. I created this image on Adobe Photoshop, which proved to be quite challenging and complex but also enjoyable. This art piece is a 2-D graphic which centres around the focal point of a pure black circle. Surrounding this is a series of lines and rectangles that are distorted to create the illusion of perspective. The image appears to be receding as the lines grow closer together in the background. In the centre ground of the piece the artist has overlapped a series of earthy toned rectangles that work harmoniously together. The colour palette of this image is subdued, containing a range of muted browns, greys, yellows and greens, with minor pops of black. This creates a calm atmosphere withing the artwork and the concentration of colour in the middle draws the eye to the centre. There is also a distorted cross in the centre of the image which adds an extra design element to the piece.

God does this super cool act where things in nature mimic the human body.
I'm feeling a new series coming on. I've been so inspired by nature my whole life and I've been wanting to carry out a series like this for a long time. I need to take pictures again, I miss it.
We'll see how it goes!
By the way, how has everyone been doing?

I have been on a mission ever since I saw Mike Nash's "Fake It" polyresin shader to mimic it. I just love the way it looks and it has been a tedious, but fun challenge to accomplish. I think I'm really close to replicating it and have learned a lot taking on this challenge. I will still pursue forward and try making it better, but for now I'm pleased with the results. Now I just need to sculpt some more things to show it off.
