Astronomers sure do conjure up a lot of spooky images when they look out into deep space. A short Halloween thread:

Let's start with the Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43).

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap241027.html #space #science #art #halloween

What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy? One contender is LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, this molecular cloud is dense enough to block light not only from background stars, but from wisps of gas lit up by the nearby reflection nebula LBN 7. Far from being a harbinger of death, this 12-light year-long filament of gas and dust is actually a stellar nursery. Glowing with eerie light, the bat is lit up from inside by dense gaseous knots that have just formed young stars.

Worlds of IF (April 1956)

There's a good essay out there about why the bad guys in some SF/Fantasy tend to be effeminate dandies with elaborate hair and clothes. Someone find it?

The story I'm getting is … the woman is going to be executed by firing squad? But Evil Liberace wants to do it personally?

Original magazine: https://archive.org/details/1956-04_IF_modified

A man with an elaborate coiffed/pompadour hairstyle and ornate clothing and jewellery is wiping a gun in the foreground. In the background, a woman in revealing clothing appears to be tied to a pillar with a line of soldiers in the background.

Lilium 'Stargazer' (the Stargazer lily) is a hybrid lily of the Oriental group. Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume, blooming mid-to-late summer. Stargazers are easy to grow and do best in full sunlight. They have a fast growth rate and should be planted in full sun in well drained loamy or sandy soil. When mature, Stargazers can grow to a height of 36 inches with a spread of 12 to 16 inches with 4 to 5 flowers per stem.

Creativity is like a muscle. If you want to become more creative, you have to exercise it.

When I was in art school (years ago), we exercised every day to become more creative. Artists have to train to get there too. It's not magic or "talent," it's hard work.

When you use AI to give you "inspiration," you are doing the opposite of that. You are atrophying your creativity muscle.

If you want to become a creator, and become more creative, you should stop using AI entirely. Instead, start training your own genuine creativity. Otherwise, it will eventually dry off completely.

Mornin'. Have some Joel Shapiro to start your day. #Art

A bronze abstract statue, made entirely of long, rectangular shapes. The rectangles are arranged to resemble the human form, and even though I don't think this was a thing when this sculpture was made, it looks (to me) like a person enthusiastically dabbing.

The borders of the pieces are made of black and white fringe, black and white glass beads and black and white yarn, arranged in neat stripes and trimmed with the metal jingles, while the center is a woven multicolored tapestry which says the following:

AMERICAN HISTORY

THAN ANYTHING
ANYONE HAS EVER
SAID ABOUT IT

(The "JB" in question is in reference to James Baldwin.)

Roads have the ability to take us to fantastic places, but it's a partnership: they break a path, but we have to walk, bike, drive, or fly upon that path.
