I had to join in!! Loving the bingo card, friends! Epic idea!! 👏
As we enter July, that means I'm on full preparation mode for Back To School events in August across the UK, including one with our friends at Academia and Apple called 'Rumours of Dragons' - that was the inspiration for this remix:

Nicole -- I asolutely LOVE this! I love how unique your picture is and that you were able to channel something relevant towards the beginning of the year. I've been working on playing more with AI creations but feel like I need to practice more. Do you have any tips for me?? I never know if I'm adding too many words or not enough... And for whatever reason, I feel like I struggle with what to come up with when I'm making something random! 😆

@CHRISTINE26640102903u I totally get you - it can take refinement and evaluating the prompt to get what's desired. If I remember correctly, this did take me 3 goes until I was happy. I've learned a lot from Kris Kashtanova (on socials like LinkedIn) and Shel's epic webpage: adobe.ly/GenAI-Resource

This was my prompt:
Vintage cartoon character (strong curvy viking woman) with (pale freckly skin), smiling, with (long straight light brown hair) and (blue eyes) with (sunset and emerald green fields and mountain ranges in the background), wearing a blue tshirt, navy cargo pants, riding a (friendly golden dragon)

The prompt template:
Vintage cartoon character (cowgirl) with (dark skin), smiling, with (short curly dark brown curly hair) and (brown eyes) with (colorful sunset), wearing a tshirt, jeans, cowboy hat riding a (white unicorn with silver horn)

Jesse! I love this recreation of you! It gives you more of a western feel... Something I definitely think that you should consider channeling in the near future. How was ISTE!? I definitely feel like I missed out this year -- big FOMO!

There is no easy answer to that question. I spent the bulk of last week running a judge pool at the National Speech and Debate Association's national tournament, and I subjected my new friends in my pooling room to listen to all of the recorded sessions from Warped Tour in DC (holy nostalgia Batman!).

This playlist is my "oldies never die":

Newer (to me) groups I'm loving:

1. The Home Team

2. Broadside

3. Beartooth

4. Hot Mulligan

5. Taylor Acorn

6. Honey Revenge (who are playing in SA while ISTE is there)

and probably a billion more 😃
