MySpace Memories

 

Cool AI exercise for ChatGPT users! 😎 

Mood: feeling nostalgic 🥰

Anyone who knows me knows that me know how much I used to love #MySpace. I still think it was the best social media site we’ve ever had! I met some of the coolest people there, people that I’m still in touch with on various social media sites to this day! So this was such a fun project! 

Here’s the prompt: 

“Create a pixel-perfect screenshot mockup of a classic MySpace profile page (circa 2005–2008) for a person named [name]. Layout: the classic two-column MySpace layout — profile photo and details on the left, ‘About Me,’ blurbs, and comments on the right. Include: Profile photo: [use attached image]; Display name: ‘[screen name]’; Mood: [e.g., ‘high 🫩’]; Top 8 friends: 8 small profile thumbnails with names underneath (mix of friends, celebrities and bands); Now Playing: An embedded music player widget showing ‘[song] by [artist]’; About Me section: A short, dramatic, deeply 2006 bio written in alternating caps or with excessive ellipses; Background: [choose: colors, patterns, tile, etc.,]; Style: authentic 2000s MySpace UI.”

Baby, We Were Born To Run

 

In the day we sweat it out on the streets
Of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory
In suicide machines
Sprung from cages on Highway 9
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Yes, girl, we were

Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend
I wanna guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
And strap your hands 'cross my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire?
'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta know how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
Babe, I want to know if love is real
Oh, can you show me

Beyond the Palace, hemi-powered drones
Scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist
I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Oh, someday, girl, I don't know when
We're gonna get to that place
Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun
But 'til then, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Oh honey, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run
Come on with me, tramps like us
Baby, we were born to run

Our Mascot has arrived!

Our beautiful mascot has arrived, and I couldn’t be more excited! And what better anchor post for my art journal blog.

I was inspired by some of the different AI art challenges people put out there. This one was a challenge to Tell ChatGPT to turn you into a Disney princess and a Disney villain! And the exercise was so fun! And being that they made my wheelchair a part of the mythology made it even more cool! I think I’ll be moving into my Villain era shortly!

These turned out beautifully! But I started thinking if I’m gonna go full, Disney… how can I use the wheelchair as another fantasy element 🤔 So then I said you know what, since my legs don’t function normally now, maybe I’m a Disney Princess Secret Undercover Mermaid Agent, and the wheelchair functions as a cover to maintain my secret! So then I asked the generator to make an adjustment to the image and show me revealing my mermaid fin like a little secret! And I just adore the results! 🥰
