1/ Initially, I wanted to make a short thread about recent #GenerativeArt projects that caught my attention. But it quickly escalated when I started to put my thoughts into words.
Where does one stop to write about the majestic elegance of Quasi Dragon Studies by Harvey Rayner?
Exhibit #120 of 126 of my great big graphics project, representing more than 3 weeks work and a refutation of the basic tenets of capitalism, is now online.
This exhibit now presented online complete for the very first time ever was literally impossible for anyone else to see. The dataset contains 100 images and the 35 archived official reference copies contain 48. Until today, nobody anywhere except for me could see it all.

The slog continues on my latest great big graphics project exhibit, #120 of 126.
I've now passed the half way mark and can see the totals for it, barring any new surprises.
The 35 official restricted access copies of this dataset have 48 images.
My complete copy, which is the only known complete copy in existence, has 52 more images that were deliberately removed from the official record and have been unavailable to anyone anywhere, for a total 100 images.
So I've got 22 more images to create that will be difficult and very labor intensive outputting to two different pipelines, 2 that will be a bit of extra work then 23 garden variety difficulty images and #120 of 126 will be in the can ready for uploads.
it's going to be 52 images, so half the size of today's completed #120, with two garden variety fwippees as the expurgated content this time rather than 52 fwippees requiring 48 stand alone alternate versions as made my past three weeks generally unpleasant.
I should crank through this one in a straight forward way from what I skimmed. View may be different on the ground as details reveal themselves.
In great big graphics project news, the huge and complex expurgated section cut from all 35 official copies of this dataset, #120 of 126, is now about one third complete.
Major-ass slog. Not fun, lotsa the picky picky details that mean slow going, like trying to walk through thick brambles in waist-deep water.
Gotta keep going. If I don't get this done, it'll be gone forever. This is the only one there is.
Very excited to get my first scans back after an impulse purchase of a very-vintage Yashica A TLR last year. Thanks to filmdev.co.uk for their rock solid processing & scanning.
Five more images and I'll be at the official half way mark on exhibit #120 of 126 of my multi-year unique great big graphics project.
Since this one's been an extra slog with the expurgated content not included with the 35 official copies of this dataset, I'm really really looking forward to crossing the middle and while there's still plenty more slog to go, at least I can comfort myself with the thought there is less left to do than I have already gotten done.
#CUEdle#1970s#617 🟥 🟩 29.5s Not anything I was hoping to hear.
no: Cuedle 80s. I have missed this before. No clue who this artist is and have never heard this song. And don’t really like it. https://cuedle.fun
no: Heardle 1980s No. 1s #556
Oh man. I’ve missed this multiple times too. Never heard this song before playing Heardle.

Ok, one more. Heardle Rock or Motown? which one’s calling me . . .
Heardle Motown #259
😓 At the first notes, I was like, yay, I picked right! But then I typed in the artist, and the song wasn’t there. 🤨 So I typed in the song title, but what came up for that title was a different artist. 🤔 So I tried a variation on the title, and it finally came up. There’s a glitch in this game that I think I’ve figured out.

GT 9/11. TBH, it should be 8 because of Bandle. In any case, much better than yesterday. But now I need something completely mindless like watching this ridiculous show my sister's got me hooked on. 👋
Booted up a classic for the first time in forever… I’d like to claim credit, but it was 100% my dad when I was a kid. He would whistle after I went to bed and I would “sneak” watch him play. One of my favorite memories growing up. Legend.
