Dude your # is off the chain.

I'll hit you up later

Wow, this thread really connects with your previous thread about AI
I think you are right, We must train the 'AI' with the blues.

Haha, that could be amusing.

I know that we can expose the machine learning to blues music and lyrics.

I think it would be hilarious to see the results of a blues song and lyrics from an AI system

I appreciate that, thank you!

Bessie Smith

James Cotton

VERY, VERY NICE!
I love this, I am not a blues aficionado, but I do like art.

May I ask is this digital? It appears that it is, but it's so clean, to me it just has to be. If it's conventional art, then it's even better! Especially if you made the halftone dots in the last one by hand! heheh
Whatever it is, it's really something!

I have been a traditional illustrator with pen and ink and Bristol board for decades. I have finally admitted that the convenience of my iPad and Apple pencil are impossible to ignore.
Being able to add digital coloring and affects to handwriting has been somewhat liberating. My old fashion illustrator training has finally stopped arguing with me.
However I am reserving a handful of musicians for traditional and drawn pen and ink.

I kind of thought, and I know the lure of digital, I went digital years ago, but not to the degree you did.
This is the kind of stuff I love to see, I love ink, digital or otherwise, you definitely did them and your artwork justice.

My hat's off to you!

Very impressive!
I loved the videos!

Thank you!
