I was, as you may recall, pretty excited about my "David and Goliath" video yesterday, where I brought one of Caravaggio's decapitation paintings to strange, bloody, hyper emotional life. But then the next morning I watched the AI movie I had labored over and thought it was, well, faintly ridiculous.
This was a little bit of a sad coming to earth for me.
But I try to roll with the punches, so I decided: what if we take a stab (ha!) at going in the opposite direction?
So today I have taken another great painting, this one by Velazquez, and brought it to life. But this time I have leaned into the ridiculousness of it all.
Not that it isn't a little bit sweet.
Clicking through the picture will probably take you to the video at Instagram. I'm not sure how the Oligarchic copyright machinery will react to what I've done here.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
