I Have A Little Shadow That Goes In And Out With Me, And What Can Be The Use Of Him Is More Than I Can See. He Is Very, Very Art

no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of distress. No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed. They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

Scene: A small river with wooden docks, rowboats, and reeds evolves into an urban waterfront with canals, bridges, warehouses, and modern apartment buildings along the water. Details: Boats, water reflections, street furniture, bridge cables, canal locks, cranes, riverside markets. Lighting/Style: Morning mist over the water, sun reflecting on windows, subtle water movement, gentle waves.
In Penang, Malaysia. Wing Sun's Grandmother is elderly and lives in Penang, on the island. Grandma's house is in a quieter part of the island, closer to the coastline where the sea breeze can be felt through the wooden windows. It's near the ocean, in Tanjung Bungah where there are old-style homes and a slower pace of life. There are many resort "homestay" hotels, and also some high-rise condos, but Grandmother's house has been there many years. Wing-Sun's mother grew up in that house, near the beach, with the ocean breeze. We see the house from down the street with Grandma standing in the doorway greeting us.
At the bustling Kuala Lumpur airport, Wing-Sun and his Mother say farewell to his father before he leaves for a six‐week business trip to London. We see Wing Sun and his mother from the back, as Father stands on the escalator going up to his departure gate, and turns toward us to wave goodbye. Many other passengers and children are standing around. The airport is modern and well lit.

A highly realistic and historically accurate image set in the deep, waterlogged mud of the Texas Cross Timbers (Montague County) in 1840. The scene captures the frustrating moment when the Chihuahua Traders caravan is completely stuck. Foreground focus is on several heavy, wooden Conestoga freight wagons, mired up to their axles in dark, thick mud. Exhausted oxen are straining and distressed, their drivers in rough frontier attire attempting to free the wheels with ropes and levers. In the mid-ground, a small group of the American equestrian circus performers stands next to their distinctive, high-quality riding horses, which are visibly more refined than the typical pack animals. The performers are dressed in sturdy but distinct traveling clothes, looking ill-equipped and frustrated by the muddy conditions. One performer is carefully securing a colorful carriage or cart containing unique circus props, struggling to keep it from sinking. The overall mood is one of miserable delay and hardship. Cloudy, oppressive sky; detailed realism; wide-angle shot; dark, moody lighting.
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."

"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.

A majestic and regal snow leopard, powerfully built and with its characteristic thick, spotted fur, stands in a pristine, snow-covered mountain landscape. The leopard is lavishly 'blinged' with intricate, ornate jewelry and adornments, seamlessly integrated into its natural grace. **Focus on: Jewelry: Golden chains, collars, and bracelets adorned with large, glittering diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and rubies. The gems should catch and reflect the light. Adornments: Delicate, decorative gold filigree woven into its fur around the neck, paws, and tail. Perhaps small, elegant tassels or silken cords with embedded pearls dangle from its powerful shoulders or tail. Overall Effect: The adornments should enhance, rather than overwhelm, the leopard's natural beauty, making it look like an ancient, mythical guardian rather than merely ostentatious. The setting: A serene, snow-covered Himalayan mountain peak at either dawn or dusk. Soft, diffused light highlights the leopard's fur and makes the jewels sparkle. Snow-dusted pine trees, icy rock formations, and a clear, frosty sky with hints of pastel colors. Subtle falling snowflakes catch the light. The atmosphere is magical and awe-inspiring. Artistic Style: Highly detailed photorealism with a touch of fantastical elegance. Emphasize light play on the jewels and fur, deep depth of field, and a captivating gaze from the leopard. Cinematic quality, ultra-fine details.

A tranquil and inviting autumn landscape based, depicting a park-like setting with large trees and a central pile of fallen leaves. The trees framing the foreground and extending into the middle ground are now in their full, glorious fall colors, displaying a rich tapestry of brilliant yellows, deep oranges, fiery reds, and warm russets. The ground is generously covered with a soft, thick carpet of fallen autumn leaves, rendered in various warm hues. A prominent, neatly gathered pile of raked leaves sits in the middle ground, inviting curiosity or play, with its textures and colors clearly visible. In the background, hints of a path or road gently wind through more fall foliage, suggesting a peaceful stroll. The sky above is a soft, clear autumn blue, allowing warm, diffused sunlight to filter through the canopy, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the vibrant colors of the leaves both on the trees and on the ground. The overall mood is one of serene autumnal beauty, crisp air, and the pleasant, nostalgic feeling of a beautiful fall day in a park."

A detailed, ancient-style map of the land of Canaan, with distinct, labeled territories for the Hivites, Arkite, and Sinite people groups. Each territory should have subtle visual cues reflecting their possible historical characteristics or natural environments. For example, the Hivite territory could show some hilly or forested areas, the Arkite territory might feature a coastal city, and the Sinite territory could suggest a more inland or mountainous region. The map should have a weathered, parchment-like texture, with an elegant, old-world font for the labels. In one corner, a small, illuminated manuscript-style illustration could depict three distinct figures, each subtly representing one of the groups, perhaps dressed in period-appropriate attire and engaging in an activity typical of their region. The overall aesthetic should evoke historical scholarship and cartography."

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
The Wizard of Oz Scarecrow, looking surprised and slightly alarmed, as a group of winged flying monkeys descends rapidly from the sky towards him, their taloned feet reaching out. The scene is set in a vibrant, slightly fantastical field with a yellow brick road visible in the distance. Emphasize dynamic motion and the contrast between the playful yet menacing monkeys and the innocent Scarecrow
Art Style: Analytical Cubism, avant-garde oil painting style reminiscent of Picasso and Braque. Subject: A dense, tangled thicket of Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurel bushes. Composition & Details: The entire natural scene is deconstructed into overlapping geometric planes, fractured shards, and intersecting angles. There are no curved lines; everything is rendered in cubes, cones, and trapezoids. The Rhododendrons: Large, showy flower trusses are broken into faceted crystalline structures of deep magenta, rose pink, and violet blocks, looking like explosions of colored quartz rather than soft petals. The Mountain Laurels: The smaller, intricate flowers are rendered as complex, repeating geometric star-patterns and angular cups in white and pale pink with distinct red polygonal markings. Foliage & Branches: The thick, leathery leaves are fragmented green triangles and parallelograms overlapping each other, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective. The woody stems and branches are jagged, intersecting brown and grey cylinders that shatter across the frame. Color & Texture: A palette of muted earth tones—ochre, burnt umber, forest green, and slate grey—contrasted sharply with the jewel-toned facets of the flower colors. The finish should have a heavy, textured oil paint feel with visible palette knife marks and rough brushwork.
