Some days the book I’m reading gets me wondering…
This was one of those times when I found myself entranced by the world in the book I was reading… a place made up of underground caverns lit up by bioluminescent walls. I didn’t give the AI prompt much to work with, yet found myself quite happy with the result, this time from Google Gemini.

My favorite way to brighten up my journal…
AI can do really interesting things with doodles, or in this case a mandala I drew and colored in. At first, I was satisfied with my very basic mandalas in my journal, by gradually I found myself wanting something “more” but still “mine”. That was when I started adding them to my AI prompts, and…

A splash of ethereal color.
There are times when I want a splash of color in my journal, something that gives me a sense of visiting a distant nebula, or simply lets me imagine for a moment that I’m vacationing on some intergalactic cruise ship, seeing fantastic and barely imaginable sights. I love the colors in this one, as well…

My prompt about a world beneath a rainbow went awry with beautiful results…
I recall asking Gemini AI from Google for an alien world beneath a rainbow, I’m not sure what else I had in the prompt, but honestly, this result was unique and magical in a way that had me caring less about my initial prompt, and more about the final result. Often, for me and my…

Photorealistic sailboat
Photorealistic isn’t what I had in mind when I gave Gemini AI a prompt about a sailboat on a summer day, but I ended up liking and keeping this image, in part because it captures the feeling of peacefulness out on the water.

Microsoft Designer has learned I like magical, ethereal and otherworldly…
Even when I don’t put the words magical, ethereal or otherworldly in my prompts, find Microsoft Designer tends to lean towards those elements automatically in the results it generates for me, because I have used those descriptors in so many requests. In this case I was actually asking for a sticker to go with a…

If I could sit beneath this tree and dream…
I’m trying, perpetually, to get better about noting where / how I generated various pieces of AI artwork. For me, we’ll call that an effort in progress. What I love about this one is the big beautiful tree on an island surrounded by a gently flowing stream, with so many flowers and colorful trees all…

Olympics and AI Art collide in my journal…
There have been a lot of Olympic headlines of late, and even as I’ve been away from most of the world, with limited internet and media access I have still been catching the highlights. There are so many things I love about the Olympics… just one small aspect being that feeling that for a moment…

A painting with flowers and lots of light bright vibes…
Sometimes what I want most is simply a piece of art that reflects my mood, or my mindset… or perhaps I should say where I would be if my body could go anywhere that fit with the way I was feeling and seeing the world. Regardless of the season, sometimes I want to see a…

A beautiful landscape with an emphasis on whites and blues…
I love the colors in this AI design. There is a sense of drama as it captures the beauty of nature without being purely realistic either in style or what it represents, which, to me, gives it an inspiring quality… I look at this image and dream of places I’ve never been even as I…

Black and White line art
I have a cute little app on my iPad that lets me create mandala designs, and shade them in. It’s a very zen activity… sometimes I clear my mind, and simply focus on the pattern in front of me, other times I focus on a problem at hand, and the act of creating and shading…

Stained Glass Style Imaginary Wildflowers
One of the prompts I enjoy giving AI is for otherworldly flowers, sometimes I’ll suggest a specific flower it be inspired by, or specific colors I want included… the results tend to be fun. Sometimes I’ll ask for a field of flowers, other times a stained glass window or a suncatcher. Now this isn’t to…

A fantastical sunset…
Some days a painting of a fantastical sunset both brightens my mood and sums up how I feel about the world at the same time. I use several of the AI interfaces, and some of them I haven’t figured out how to do anything but square images with, which is a shame, because there are…

Why Grimoire Graphics?
When I first got the idea to make images for my journal I didn’t think I’d share them with others, or come up with a name for what I was doing, but after reading Hilarie Burton’s book Grimoire Girl I had a whole new perspective on my journal, journaling in general, and the graphics I…
