After the Flood

After the flood, nothing was ever the same…

… the rules and norms of ‘normal society’ just dissolved in all that water…

… everyone, and everything just became adrift…

… left to adapt to the new reality…

… in a watery world where everyone just sat around waiting for someone else to fix things…

… and, meanwhile, the tide went in and out as though nothing had changed.

Bucolic Surrealism

So, Bucolic Surrealism…

… of course, we love it…

… ones like the above, we usually keep re-iterating until she doesn’t have a mutant hand, but we just couldn’t be bothered! The over-all image is still wonderfully surreal, including her ugly hand…

… we love this strange, bucolic weirdness…

… as we’ve previously said, we could happily live in such a weird reality…

… perhaps that’s because we are a 4000 year old alien, stranded on Earth…

… and we’re just bored with the real.

02 August

Our output runs well in advance of our posting… we have to remember to post before we get too far ahead! In the one above you can see the beginnings of a style that we named ‘Bucolic Surrealism’; we eventually used an image like this and the only written prompt we gave was ‘bucolic surrealism’, and Mj was off and running with fabulous stuff, but we’ll save that for next post…

… we love these strange worlds, we could happily live in them…

… even in a dream…

… we love the strange, alt-past feel Mj applies so well. As we understand it, that’s because when they first exposed the algorithm to all the art on the net it could vacuum up, there was far more ‘old’ imagery that was either Creative Commons, or just totally un-shielded. Another thing we discovered, recently, is that Mj does astonishingly realistic cats! That must be because of the sheer volume of cat imagery on the net (:

One August

We’ve run out of titles involving the concept of surreality, so thought we’d just use the date, which, in itself, will be slightly surreal to most of you, as we are posting from your future…

… the top one has a wonderful 70’s manipulated photo feel to it, while the above is just pure Mj weirdness…

… this one has a 70’s surreal collage feel…

… and this one, again, is pure Mj weirdness…

… and we feel this one is genuinely surreal, a combination of our diligent guiding and Mj weirdness (:

Stranger Visions

There are so many strange and surreal realities waiting to be created…

… the weird and beautiful…

… the beautifully strange…

… images from dream…

… beautiful imagery that actually isn’t surreal, but is still dream-like in it’s beauty…

… and the just plain fabulous (:
