BEAUTY: AI Digital Art for Halloween--Robert Mealing (Spiritus Loci)

Artist Robert Mealing uses the AI tool Midjourney to create some gorgeous, spooky imagery, and his ongoing October Misremembered series is perfect for this time of year. I posted his creations last year here, and he has updated the project with new images for 2024, seen below. This new crop reminds me of Victorian Ghost Photography, seen here.

BEAUTY: Photography--Jan Pypers

Jan Pypers' photographic series The Hare is wonderfully creepy and dream-like. And regular readers may recall I have a love for human bodies with animal heads.

Pypers started the series after some intense dreams that kept returning. "In the morning I always felt lost, you know the feeling. Hare is actually a tribute to the dream, where nothing is impossible and we can do and feel whatever we want. Hare is about our irrational fear of the unknown (terrorism, migration…) but also about our denial for real problems such as the climate, individualism, loneliness… It’s like we’re all dreaming."
