This was my entry into an NFT event for Friday, the 13th. If you want to, you can help me by sharing my original tweet. But here, I am going to break down how it was created...

The piece is more complex than it first appears to be. One part of the process was to re-visit my portrait of Maria the robot and Audrey that I'd mounted on wood. I will show it again on tomorrow's stream, but this is a sneak peek into how it looks...
I could have gone with the portrait itself, but I decided for this minting of 13 pieces, it was not quite dark enough, so I dug into my photos... And I came upon this "sculpture" or assemblage I had photographed as part of newer artwork or film. Because the subject matter was rather dark, I have held off on this, but I've used the photo for some fun during the Halloween season.
The next step is to obviously marry the two. This is easy enough, but if that's all I did it would not have the same effect. So I further reached into my archives and found some painted abstracts done with pink and black Flexseal. I make these plates routinely to photograph them and use them as fodder for shapes and such. That was not the last phase, of course. If you look closely enough, you will see that I took some time to pixilated sections and add noise, to 'age' the photograph in a digital manner. I always try to imagine a dusty computer that comes to life, and that when an image is opened, it does not quite do the job right. The year is 2030. Of course.
So what comes to mind when you look at it? I'm curious to know.
