moodboard

Art

A moodboard, not a portfolio. Things that get me going: a few I coded in 2023, some I prompted later, most I found. Found work is credited where I know the maker; if you know one I have missed, write to me and I will add it.

You are a king. Live alone. Take a free road
And follow where your free mind leads you,
Bring to perfection the fruits of well-loved thoughts
Ask no reward for noble deeds accomplished.
Rewards are within you. Your supreme judge is yourself.
None will ever judge your work more sternly.
Discriminating artist, does it please you?
