Kintsugi Mountains

2022-10-07

I just made another update to my Prompter tool and decided to play around for a bit to test it out… So what if we mixed things that don’t logically mix in reality?

When I am wrong I admit to it, and guess what - I was wrong. The royal we have been wanting and begging MidJourney to add inpainting for what feels like eons. As many of you know, I am a HUGE advocate and word-spreader for MidJourney BUT what I also did is constantly...

One Year Later

2023-07-17 | Thoughts

I just saw this pop up in my memories and it gave me a good feeling. A year ago today I released the first version of Prompter (the prompt-building spreadsheet) for free just to see if people would use it... I never thought that a year later it would get so much...
