Art from Week 4, March 2026

Here are some samples of my entries for the daily art on PixAroma Discord, that I create at around 7am each morning.

March 22. It's raining

This was inspired by the Flat Iron Building in New York, one of the most photogenic buildings..

March 24th, a $5,000 bill

Because of the RAM shortage and spiraling prices, my entry featuring an NVIDIA graphics card seemed to resonate with the audience on the Discord channel.

March 25th, a blue bear like never seen before

My twist was to make it a blue bear(d). In hindsight it turns out that Blackbeard was the pirate, and Blackbeard was a serial killer of his own wives!

I had two Surreal generations, imagining myself as a Blue bearded Bear. I liked both so I blended them both with a start frame and frame into a looping animation. This version below was using Kling version 2.5, which turned out better than a version I created using Kling 3.0.

March 26th. Imagine something made of spaghetti

My first entry, which proved popular with the Discord audience, relies on the fact that the ComfyUI software we use is node-based, with different widgets getting connected with lines we sometimes call noodles. I combined a man made out of spaghetti connected with the ComfyUI workflow in Google Whisk, a tool that is sadly going away in mid-April. I did about eight generations and picked the best.

My second entry I think was inspired by Disney's 1955 Classic: The Lady and the Tramp., featuring  Lady, a pampered American Cocker Spaniel, and Tramp, a street-smart stray mutt, on a romantic dinner date.

The daily art challenge also allows songs so I created a rap song called "RAPunzel" with Spaghetti hair. The first 15 seconds were animated using Kling.

March 27th Octopus Tattoo

I felt that the tattoo of an octopus on a body would be too stereotypical. I instead imagined octopus-like senitels from The Matrix.

Bonus: Aladdin

On Instagram I saw one of the people I follow, Girish Reddy sharing a magic carpet flying. I remembered spending a lot of time with an image of Aladdin on a Magic Carpet, casting realistic shadows in SuperimposeX eight years ago. Shadow casting or skiagraphy was something I excelled at during my time in SPA, architecture college in early 1980.

I was very sad to learn recently that Pankaj Goswami, the Bangalore-based creator of SuperimposeX, suffered from a stroke at the end of last year. He was able to struggle and reply to one of my emails to him.
