i really need to learn procreate…
…i never use nik’s ipad pro, which contains it, but i really need to learn it, it’s just a matter of finding the time. last i heard it ONLY works on the ipad pro, but i’m hoping it’ll work on the new mini? maybe i could pick one up and finally fuck around and find out, but in a GOOD sense of the phrase? until then, when i do art stuff (typically for atomic), i use images i find online and go from there, typically modifying them fairly heavily.
for instance…

take these three images i find online – twist, turn, color, and slap around a bit, and get…

but,admittedly, sometimes, live everyone else, i kinda phone it in. at least when it comes to making the main image “my own” and all. like this one from the before times of covid…

i mean, i thought (at the time) it was a cool and somewhat timely trick to add the mask and all. but that turkey was not my own, and this year i started seeing it around a bit earlier in the fall…
on the side of a food trailer downtown

over a cooler at a convenience store
i should add these pics were taken earlier in the fall, and these appear to be year round decor. granted, there are some slight differences now that i see them all together – maybe not all turkeys look alike like they do in real life?
