Horror in the Backrooms

by J. K. Hoffman | posted in: Art, Fun, Uncategorized | 0

Kinetic Sculptures

by J. K. Hoffman | posted in: Art, Fun | 0

Just a quick share this week. I know I keep hinting that I’ll review that hot shoe splitting flash cable I got the other day, but I’ve been so busy, I have hardly had the chance to use it. So, … Continued

Poetry in the Time of the Pandemic

by J. K. Hoffman | posted in: About The Author, Art, Fun, On Creativity, Stimulus and Production | 2

I used to write, and read, poetry, before I stopped fearing death. That sounds a bit contradictory, but, yes, I’m actually not afraid of death. I am afraid of the pain and discomfort that generally precede death, but not the … Continued

Social Media Fonts

by J. K. Hoffman | posted in: Art, Fun | 0

Fonts for services without them. Well, two services without them, at any rate. Now, keep in mind this is far from perfect, but it does, in fact, work. A little bit better for Instagram than for Twitter, but, those are … Continued

Procedural Fun

by J. K. Hoffman | posted in: Art, Fun | 1

I like my fun to be automatic, free and semi-random. Way back in the day, I was ahead of the curve on autogenerated “stuff”. In my case, it was semi-random language generation that I ran over on Fantasist.net. Let me … Continued

The Horror of Corporate Life

by J. K. Hoffman | posted in: Art, Fun | 1

Literally, horror rooted in corporate life. On a bad day or week, the endless, repetitive drudgery of corporate life can seem like an endless horror story. I mean, we’ve all felt that from time to time, right? And, for those … Continued

Surrealism at its most tech? Maybe. Artificial intelligence is all the rage these days, especially the newish “generative adversarial network” variety. Generative adversarial networks, or “GANs”, really came to public attention, and mine, with the This Person Does Not Exist … Continued

Paint Simulation

I love free, weird, art-related stuff on the internet. As you might have guessed since I share it here incessantly. Maybe it’s got to do with the fact that I was always encouraged to be practical as a kid. Or … Continued
