A simple cartoon-style propaganda poster drawn with bold, thick marker lines. Use a limited color palette of bright red, dark navy blue, white, and small black outlines. At the top, include a cool, bold propaganda-style font that looks hand-drawn with marker, saying: “FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BETTER!” Make the word “BETTER” much larger and more dramatic. In the center, show a group of white sheep with simple cartoon faces, wide excited eyes, and big happy smiles, cheering together. The sheep should look identical and drawn with simple marker outlines. They are looking at a pig who is walking upright on two legs in a bright spotlight. The pig should be glowing or surrounded by simple marker-drawn light rays to show fake admiration. Add confetti, simple celebration lines, and maybe one sheep holding a small sign. The background should use strong blocks of red and navy blue, like a simple propaganda poster. Include very simple outlines of a barn or farmhouse in the background. Overall style: cute cartoon, clean, bold marker strokes, easy shapes, limited colors, and a brainwashed, energetic vibe.

Image Brief — “Britian. A Chocolate State of Mind.” (Landscape / Conference Hall) Visual Concept: A photographic, data-style image capturing the absurdity of corporate branding and political satire. The chocolate bar spelling “Britian” is the central focus. The scene is staged in a conference hall, emphasizing the formal-but-absurd atmosphere of a high-profile political event. Core Elements: • Chocolate bar front and center, wrapper crumpled, spelling clearly visible. • Backdrop / environment: realistic conference hall — lectern in the frame, faint rows of seating or stage elements, subtle signs of a political event. No office props. • Palette: predominantly blue tones (lighting, hall décor, banners), with small Tory-signifier accents (navy, subtle red) to hint at political context. • Orientation: landscape (wide) — must match the style and aspect ratio of other blog images. • Lighting / style: naturalistic photography; soft, realistic shadows; slightly moody, surreal undertone; no cartoonish or illustrative effects. • Mood / atmosphere: dry, ironic, subtly surreal — visually echoing Tom Kite’s sardonic, satirical voice. Typography (optional): Small text on wrapper: “Have a break from reality” in clean, bold type, integrated naturally into the photographic scene. Use / Context: • Featured image for blog post “Britian. A Chocolate State of Mind.” • Must work as both thumbnail and full-size blog header. • Maintain photographic, slightly surreal style consistent with other blog imagery Inspiration is Hannah Hoch, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Stezaker

This is a great idea. For this version, let's lean even further into that "Elven High-Fantasy" aesthetic you like, but ground it in their specific Biblical legacy as the "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for the Tabernacle. In this prompt, we will portray their service not as a lowly task, but as a display of superhuman strength and grace—showing that even in their "servant" role, their "giant" nature and ancient wisdom remained visible. Written Prompt: The Sage-Giants of Gibeon Style: Cinematic High-Fantasy, 8k Resolution, Epic Scale. A blend of The Lord of the Rings aesthetic with Ancient Near Eastern Bronze Age history. The Subject: A group of three Gibeonite men, standing at a staggering height of 7.5 feet. They possess the ethereal, noble beauty of High Elves—sharp, intelligent Semitic features, high cheekbones, and long, dark hair intricately braided with silver and lapis lazuli. The Stature & Grace: They are lithe and muscular, moving with a fluid grace that defies their size. Despite their "giant" classification, they are elegant, not monstrous. The Role (Hewers and Drawers): > * One Gibeonite is seen effortlessly carrying a massive, ornate stone water jar on one shoulder that would require four normal men to lift. Another holds a bundle of enormous cedar logs, his posture straight and regal, showing no sign of strain. The Attire: They wear a mixture of their new culture and their old heritage. Fine linen tunics in ivory and deep blue are accented by ornate bronze bracers etched with ancient Canaanite geometry. Their clothing is weathered with the dust of the road but still looks "high-born." The Setting: They are standing on a high limestone ridge overlooking the ancient city of Gibeon. In the background, the Tabernacle's smoke rises into a golden sunset sky. The architecture around them consists of massive, "cyclopean" stone blocks that match their scale. Lighting & Atmosphere: Dramatic "God-rays" of sunlight pierce through the clouds, catching the metallic glint of their jewelry and the profound, wise expressions in their eyes. The mood is one of "Dignity in Service" and "Ancient Wisdom."
rt Style: Cinematic Fantasy Concept Art with mystical sci-fi elements. High contrast lighting, emphasizing texture and impending action. The atmosphere is heavy and tense. The Subject: The woman with the incredibly long, fiery red hair. Her hair is whipping wildly in the wind, already beginning to crackle with static copper energy, anticipating the release of power. Her expression is determined and focused as she looks toward an oncoming threat. The Cloak (Pre-Transformation State): She is standing firm against a gale, clutching a massive, voluminous cloak wrapped tightly around her body. Material Appearance: The cloak is currently heavy, physical fabric—a dark, iridescent weave that looks like ancient, armored wool interwoven with metallic fibers. It is whipped violently by the wind. Signs of Activation: It hasn't turned into a force field yet, but it is about to. The metallic threads throughout the weave and the intricate patterns along the heavy hem are beginning to glow intensely with pulsing amber, gold, and electric blue light. The air around the fabric is shimmering with heat and contained power. The Environment & Threat: She is standing unprotected in a rugged, dark canyon landscape. A massive wall of chaotic dust, debris, and shadowy, indistinct shapes is rushing towards her from the middle distance, seconds away from overwhelming her location. The impending impact emphasizes why she is about to activate the cloak.
"A historically accurate depiction of a Ghost Dance, focusing on the late 19th-century context, specifically around 1890-1891. The scene shows Lakota (Sioux) or Northern Paiute people (specify one or include elements of both, but avoid anachronisms) participating in the ceremony. Setting: A vast, open prairie or high desert landscape, under an expansive sky. The time of day could be dusk or night, with a prominent moon or stars, or a bright, clear day. Avoid overtly spiritual or ethereal elements like floating spirits unless explicitly requested for a later, more symbolic iteration. The focus should be on the earthly ceremony. Participants: A circle of men, women, and children, hand-in-hand, moving in a slow, rhythmic shuffle or circular motion. Their faces show a mixture of devotion, hope, and determination. Some may have expressions of trance or deep concentration. Attire: Ghost Dance Shirts/Dresses: Emphasize the unique Ghost Dance shirts and dresses, which were typically made of muslin or canvas. These garments should feature painted designs such as stars, crescents, birds (especially eagles or crows), buffalo, human figures, or crosses. The designs should appear hand-painted, not mass-produced. Hair and Adornments: Participants should have braided hair or wear it long. Some may wear feathers (e.g., eagle or hawk feathers) in their hair. Minimal traditional adornments, as the focus was often on the Ghost Dance shirt itself. Avoid overly elaborate or Hollywood-esque depictions of war bonnets unless relevant to a specific individual and context. Footwear: Moccasins or bare feet. Action/Atmosphere: The dancers are moving in a counter-clockwise circle, with a central figure or a small group often leading. The overall mood is one of earnest prayer and communal spiritual effort. The dance should convey a sense of hope for renewal and the return of the old ways, rather than aggression or despair. There might be a central pole or small fire as a focal point, around which the dance takes place. Avoid any signs of direct conflict or violence; the Ghost Dance itself was a non-violent spiritual movement. Specific Considerations for Accuracy: Wovoka's Influence: The teachings of Wovoka (the Northern Paiute prophet) emphasized peace, hard work, and the return of the buffalo and deceased ancestors. The scene should subtly reflect this hopeful, redemptive spirit. Regional Variations: If focusing on Lakota, consider their specific interpretations, which sometimes included more imagery related to their warrior traditions on the shirts, but still within the peaceful framework of the dance. Respectful Portrayal: Ensure the depiction is respectful and avoids any stereotypical or caricatured representations of Indigenous people. Focus on their human dignity and spiritual sincerity.

The San Gorgonio Pass, Mt. San Gorgonio) rises in the North, all hoary-frost and granite. Snake-like clouds adorning her peak, I gaze past the big white house toward her uplifted boulders. And at the South, Mt. San Jacinto has lost his head in cloud. Burned bones against a blue sky backdrop. Between the two, another sunrise gleams and beams of brilliant, white-hot day flash forth: They accentuate the Sonora desert’s west extreme, and last night’s moon, high up on the left, forgot to go away.
I sat, long ago, on an Asian hill with a Shakya Mundi friend, and watched the autumn leaves fall down from high above, giants in the forest casting off their wakefulness, falling progressively into winter’s long, white sleep. “The important thing to know about trees” he said, “is that they are most beautiful in autumn; just before the winter snow. They live and grow through the entire year just for these brief moments of stunning beauty. We are like that.” He said, “but we have only one autumn, and a very long winter.”
A wooden sailing ship, the Mayflower, on a tempestuous open sea under a dark, stormy sky with lightning. The ship is listing dramatically amidst huge, crashing waves. Rain lashes down. The stern of the ship shows significant damage, with splintered wood and water pouring into the broken transom. Debris from the ship's stern is visible in the churning water around it. The overall mood is one of peril and a desperate struggle against the elements.
