Driftwood Upon the Bosphorus

My novels are now available! Visit my Official Author Site for ordering info! Also visit my main blog: Byzantium's Shores This Tumblr is a companion to my main blog. It's just another place where I indulge my various obsessions: books, music, Star Wars, Tolkien, food, astronomy, Buffalo and Western New York, cats, oddities, conundra, apocrypha, serious thoughts, dreaming ruminations, pies in the face, and bib overalls. LOTS of pies in the face and bib overalls. Seriously, if you have some raging hatred for pies in the face and/or bib overalls, this isn't the Tumblr for you.

I've been playing with some AI image generators the last week or so, mainly for my own amusement and to start to see what they can do, and maybe my expectations are way too high, but as wildly powerful as many of these gizmos are, they seem to be VERY bad at depicting a pie in the face.

If you want me to buy something, have Ashley Johnson in overalls sell it to me.
