This is the kind of thing I would think of, and now with AI art, the dream can be (sort of) real!
As seen on reddit and using Midjourney for the art, this is one of the best things I will see on the internet this week. Or for the rest of the decade.
A preview:
Adobe has gotten into the text AI business and claims their system avoids the whole “using artistic works without the artist’s permission” thing–which is great! They’ll probably attach a hefty subscription price to the service once it’s out of beta, which is…vintage Adobe.
For now, it’s free, and I’m in the beta, so here is Bigfoot eating pancakes on a sunny outdoor deck.

What the title says.
I feel like I spent hours drawing the fronds. I may revisit this one, as I had something different in mind initially. It’s okay, though.
I did this one with no reference at all, and I do not have a lot of practice drawing mermaids or unicycles. The mermaid seems a bit small and there are lots of other things I’d change. Still, not bad for a one-night effort. I’ll revisit this one when I’m done all ten prompts. Or maybe before.
A star destroyer would have been perfect, but maybe too perfect, so I went with this retro thing, with rivets and all. But piloted by a giant alien (the satellite provides scale).
Five prompts to go!
Name 10 weird things to draw
I did both the dragon and robot without any reference. I think this means I’ve seen a lot of dragons over the years, which is impressive when you consider they don’t exist.

As the title says. I actually completed a full version of this prompt yesterday and decided to scrap it and start over. I like this version more. I may have a “rejects for your amusement” post after I’ve gone through all ten prompts.

What the title says. Once I steered away from a more Super Spud vibe, it seemed to click.
I can’t draw horses or unicorns, so I did this really quickly to cover. Also, I couldn’t decide what colour a two-headed unicorn would be and settled on dusty pink!
UPDATE: I found the original art appallingly amateurish and have removed it. That’s what I get for using my imagination only!
UPDATE #2: Added the manes, which I originally forgot. I’m not a unicorn expert, what can I say.
Here’s a new version, using an actual horse as reference, done in my Bird Art™ style:
I asked my best AI friend, ChatGPT to come up with 10 weird things to draw. Here are the results. I’m going to draw all of them! Stay tuned!
