(adjective)
1. Expressed clearly; easy to understand: “a lucid account” or “I write in a clear and lucid style.”
• Showing or having the ability to think clearly, especially in intervals between periods of confusion or insanity: “he has a few lucid moments every now and then.”
• Psychology (of a dream) experienced with the dreamer feeling awake, aware of dreaming, and able to control events consciously.

Derivatives:
• lucidly |ˈluːsɪdli| adverb
• lucidness noun
Origin:
Late 16th century (in lucid (sense 2)): from Latin lucidus (perhaps via French lucide or Italian lucido) from lucere ‘shine’, from lux, luc- ‘light’.
lucidity |luːˈsɪdɪti|

"Grumpiness" by Jakub Kreft is a striking piece that delves deep into the realms of human emotion through the lens of automatism. Created using Kreft's signature technique of automatic drawing, this #artwork captures the raw and unfiltered essence of irritability and dissatisfaction. The piece features an intricate interplay of chaotic lines and forms, which seem to emanate directly from the artist’s subconscious, bypassing rational thought. The use of dark, brooding colors enhances the sense of unease and agitation, reflecting the artist's exploration of the emotional turmoil that often lies hidden beneath the surface of everyday life.
In "Grumpiness," #Kreft masterfully portrays the complexity of this common yet often overlooked emotional state. The abstract composition allows viewers to project their own feelings and interpretations onto the work, making it a deeply personal experience for each observer. The artwork’s spontaneous and unrestrained style invites the audience to confront their own moments of irritability and introspection, making "Grumpiness" not just a visual spectacle but a catalyst for emotional reflection.
Kreft's ability to convey such a nuanced emotion through abstract forms underscores his belief in the unconscious as a vital source of creativity. This piece stands as a testament to his skill in translating the intangible into a compelling visual narrative.

In my artistic journey, I delve deep into the metaphysical realms, exploring the interconnectedness of consciousness amidst the urban landscape. Through the captivating lens of metaphorical surrealism, I beckon viewers to transcend the confines of the mundane, inviting them to embark on an extraordinary odyssey of self-discovery.
Every stroke of my brush and pen resonates with metaphysical vibrations, transforming the gritty cityscapes of my imagination into a rich tapestry where symbols and metaphors intertwine, weaving a narrative that mirrors the human experience. It's an immersive journey, a game of sorts, where layers of meaning and hidden truths emerge, challenging the illusion of linear time and revealing the cyclical nature of growth and transformation.
As an artist, I see myself as a bridge between worlds, translating higher truths into tangible art forms that stir the soul and ignite the imagination. My work serves as a catalyst for introspection, prompting viewers to question their reality, explore the depths of their consciousness, and embrace the interconnectedness of all things.
Each piece in my collection is an exploration of human potential, a celebration of the boundless creativity that resides within each of us. With each brushstroke, I strive to inspire curiosity, ignite passion, and awaken a deeper awareness of the infinite possibilities that lie within the human spirit.

I have no issues with Canva (it's a great tool).
If this is your style, or your brand's style, keep using it.
But... think about ways to differentiate yourself from others in your designs.
Think about:
- What makes my brand special?
- What makes my brand unique?
- How can I use design to highlight my brand's special qualities?
Because, here's the thing -
Online spaces are EXTREMELY busy and noisy.
It's a lot more difficult to stand out (even compared to 5 years ago).
So, think about ways you can use design, and use tools (like Canva), to stand out from the crowd.
A Pause in the Autumn Rain
In the rush of daily life, how often do we pause to truly feel a moment? Consider this: the soft patter of rain on a pink umbrella, the golden hues of an autumn evening, and the quiet stillness of solitude.
Have you ever noticed how solitude sharpens your senses? The scent of rain on leaves, the muted glow of a fading day, the quiet rhythm of drops on fabric. These are the moments when we pause and reflect, not to escape from ourselves but to reconnect.
Moments like these aren’t just pauses—they’re portals. They draw us inward, inviting reflection and offering a space where time seems to stretch, and clarity takes hold.
When was the last time you embraced such stillness?
Explore the intersection of art and technology, where every frame tells a story and every detail redefines possibility.

As I spent my morning painting in my art studio, I reflected on the profound lessons Creativity has taught me.
🔹 Creativity isn't just about art - it's anything you bring to life from your soul and passion.
🔹 It thrives when you break free from rules, embracing the beauty of non-linear thinking.
🔹 It flourishes in your originality, in the YOU factor, when you stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your work and growth.
🔹 It blooms when you let go of perfection and welcome mistakes as stepping stones.
🔹 It radiates when you tap into your joy, happiness, and bliss.
🔹 It grows stronger when you allow yourself to learn and evolve through every misstep.
🔹 It shines when you learn to become your own positive critic, supporting your growth.
🔹 It endures with relentless determination, not giving up on your dreams.
🔹 It is nurtured in the right environment - at work or home, where your spirit can expand.
In a world where AI can mimic creativity, it's the authenticity of your unique expression that sets you apart.
How are you creating space for your creativity to thrive? Everyone has creativity within, waiting to be nurtured and expressed in ways only they can bring to life.
The greatest minds, like Einstein, Steve Jobs, and Claude Monet, embraced this boundless spirit, pushing the limits of innovation, technology, and artistic expression.
Imagine what you could achieve when you fully unleash your authenticity and creative power.
Keep dreaming, keep pushing boundaries, and keep creating!

I was originally going to leave this as a comment, but it got away from me and now I feel like I need to make it a separate post, so my deep appreciation goes to Chaya Mallavaram for the inspiration and motivation to write today.
Chaya's original post talks about her art and creativity and how creativity is not bound to just art and the narrow definition of what we generally consider to be creative endeavors.
I find that to be intuitively true and it made me recall some of my own experiences. So, with that introduction, its story time.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been enamored with the arts—drawing, writing, sketching, painting. These were my go-to forms of expression in early years. Yet, despite my fondness for creativity, I often felt like my art fell short, Not because anyone told me so, but because my pieces rarely emerged from my mind’s eye as intended. It was as if my mental images decided to take a detour on the way to the paper.
At the tender age of 13, I assembled my own PC from scratch. In the 90s, mind you, when the idea of "plug and play" was a distant dream. (Have you ever had to compile drivers from source?). Despite challenges and many janky hacks, I had a knack for troubleshooting and problem-solving—skills that, while seemingly unrelated to art, are actually quite connected. Trust me on this one.
High school brought the opportunity to take electives in sculpting and programming. Sculpting was a revelation. It was like a dolphin discovering water for the first time—suddenly, everything made sense. I could finally translate those pesky mental images into something tangible. Sure, I still needed to hone my technical skills, but I had wonderful mentors that treated me more like a peer than a student and really encouraged me to challenge myself.
Programming, on the other hand, was a delightful surprise. You see, math had always been a struggle for me in school. My counselor even advised against the class, given my "C" average in math. But lo and behold, programming was intuitive for me, and I did very well.
Years later, I discovered that I had dyscalculia/dysgraphia—a form of dyslexia affecting numerical comprehension. However, what seemed like a deficiency was actually a hidden strength. Research suggests that about 85% of individuals with dyslexia and related disorders possess enhanced spatial reasoning, processing information in 3D and non-linear ways. Who knew?
I think in 3D, which makes translating ideas and modeling math in a 2D format rather like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. However, this spatial and non-linear reasoning helped me understand machines and computers better. I could visualize objects, functions, and scripts in programming in a way that made sense. By recognizing and embracing this ability, I turned what was once a perceived weakness into a strength that has become the bedrock of my career.
If any of this resonates with you, please share your story—I would be delighted to hear it!

🌌 From Alice… to the Mad Hatter. 🎩
In my last post about wonderland, we explored four visions of Alice, each brought to life with a unique LoRA in Freepik. Today, it’s time to turn the spotlight on the Mad Hatter — Wonderland’s most eccentric tea aficionado.
Using the same approach, I reimagined this iconic character through my custom LoRAs: ElegantGold, CrimsonTales, Aetherlux, and Rosetronica. The result? Four entirely unique Mad Hatters, each with their own avant-garde twist.
Here they are:
✨ ElegantGold: A refined, majestic Hatter draped in black and gold. This version exudes mystery and elegance, with tea-inspired accessories perfectly blended into the look.
✨ CrimsonTales: A dramatic Hatter wrapped in deep red and gold, with floating teapots completing the surreal narrative. This vision feels straight out of a royal Wonderland dream.
✨ Aetherlux: Set in a moody café of blues and golds, this Hatter carries a modern sophistication. The textured fabrics and smoky atmosphere ground this avant-garde vision.
✨ Rosetronica: A futuristic take on the Hatter, with metallic tones, glowing teapots, and a bold reinterpretation of Wonderland’s tea tradition.
These interpretations were created on Freepik, blending AI-powered creativity and storytelling into high-fashion fantasy.
💭 Which Mad Hatter are you having tea with?
✨ Stay tuned: next, I’ll reveal a character who’s bound to steal your heart. Any guesses? 🌀

How does art help us navigate life’s challenges? For me, it has become more than a passion—it’s a way to survive, to create light in the darkness.
Art is not just a form of self-expression—it is a lifeline, a beacon of light in the darkest of times. Living in Finland, where the long, cold winters and the quiet isolation can sometimes feel heavy, I’ve found that creating art has become a way of grounding myself and fighting against the emotional weight of darkness.
In every brushstroke, I pour my thoughts, emotions, and a spark of resistance against the cold. The vibrant colors I use are my answer to the subdued tones of the world around me. Through art, I’ve learned to embrace the challenge of transforming discomfort into beauty, struggle into creativity, and solitude into connection.
Art teaches us resilience—it reminds us that no matter how overwhelming life feels, we can create light, color, and meaning even in the bleakest conditions. It’s a practice of hope, and a testament to the human spirit’s ability to persevere.
What role does art play in your life? I’d love to hear how creativity shapes your journey.
