Hive-a-versary! Exclusive sneak previews

Seeing as how it's Hive's 3rd anniversary, and this space has been so good to me. I'd best put up something cool.

I'm up to my ears in a deadline, with another deadline waiting for me right after...hmm...how about a random blast of sneak previews and stuff I've not shown elsewhere?

Here's something I've not spoken of, a while back I was asked to do the cover art for a documentary of stand up comedy by the guys at Stand Up Records!

Hive Open Mic 154 What's Wrong With That. Comedia Musical -a man loves a man or woman loves a woman

What's Wrong With That
This is a comedy/ironic/righteous song - the lyrics written by Smokey Dave Meehan - an unknown, elderly singer, who I met and recorded at my studio in Brighton 20 years ago - a fabulous, undiscovered talent. They called him Smokey Dave, because he always had a cigarette on the go.

The one thing that actually works

Personal development has been my 'special interest' ever since high school when I first came across it and felt like a whole new world had just opened up before me. The possibilities were endless. At the time Steve Pavlina's blog, hunatrainer.com forum, "Illusions" by Richard Bach, and "The Secret" set me well off on my path.

But soon enough, scouring the depths of the 'then internet' I realized that it was littered with self-proclaimed Personal development gurus who only had their MLM scheme gains to show for their "success".

Miniature Isometric Circuit Cities generated by Stable DIffusion.

As some of my followers might know, during my time on Hive I primarily did photography, mostly macro stuff. At one point I tried to get some close up shots of circuitboards to make them look like miniature cityscapes but i could never find the correct subject. I thought id revisit this idea with Stable Diffusion and generate some AI interpretations of some miniature circuit cities. I love the isometric look of these too, something I am really into in blender.

I just had to walk to the river today. The dogs may never trust me again.

The river is my happy place,

just a few weeks of the year, when I can get to it.

Ticks, chiggers, poison ivy, mosquitoes, tall grass, wetlands, timber, and other ickiness make the path impassable most of the time.

I used to walk to the river from November to March with our old dogs, but the second pair of collies are tormented by snowballs packed between their paw pads, and I gave up the trudge with them.
