This one’s thematically related to a rather fundamental icon here at portfoliolongo.
Last week I noticed that the Tayasui Sketches app had an update. I was hopeful that the update would finally allow us users to reduce the canvas size while drawing without closing the drawing; and it did. There are some cool features in Sketches. My favorites include the “ink” and “watercolor” tools, as described here: https://tayasui.com/sketches/tools.html

Also, the “fill, pattern, text, object” tool, as shown here:

I used iColorama to sharpen and add vibrancy to the image.

Videodigital Leitmotif with Soundtrack and Video Update

Back to my iconographic roots: Videodigital Leitmotif. Turn your sound on, and say it 10 times.
Videodigital Leitmotif, Videodigital Leitmotif, Videodigital Leitmotif, etc.


Original score for this piece was recorded live on GarageBand for iPad by the Portfoliolongo String Quartet on their west coast tour.

Serendipitous Development
One of my oldest and dearest friends found a videoclip of me playing Videodigital Leitmotif with another string quartet while I was touring in Europe. No, actually they made this videoclip using their musical expertise, creativity, sense of humor, and one of their AI accounts. They took the soundtrack of the above video and a recent photo of me and created the most hilarious AI video that I’m in. OK, it’s the only AI video I’m in, I think.

#WhiteHouseTour

You’ve heard the news. Smart phone photos are now permitted in the White House.

Let us pray…

The house across the street is undergoing some renovations, and little by little they’re hauling away what they’re replacing. From my seat at the breakfast table, horizons spanning a quarter of a century are fused per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
