Lensa (the app) has this amazing thing where you can upload a bunch of selfies and it cranks out a couple hundred attempts at evolutions. About ⅓ of the results are super fun, and 20% are almost great! It seemed obvious I would at least get the best of them and include them in this collection somehow.

Except then I’m almost certainly going to be required to talk about “ my self”. What’s more to THINK about “my self”. This started scaring me this morning to the point where I wanted to scrap the Selfie Saturday idea completely. I’m really not a fan of being in the limelight. Please don’t tell anyone. I know it’s completely odd that I’d be a professional musician, and that I’d start podcasts and interview shows and then have the audacity to call myself an Artiste! while making the claim that I’m reticent to put the spotlight on myself but it’s entirely true.

Music is how it happened. From the second I quit my English masters track at University and moved into the bus in the Canadian subarctic to make my fingers bleed every day learning guitar I knew music was all I’d ever want to do (lol… so much for that). I was well and truly obsessed. And I was terrible at it. And I was a deeply introverted human (still am believe it or not). I had to force myself on stage at open mics. No one would want to hear me. It scared the crap out of me. It made me super uncomfortable.

Anyway, this idea to delve in to “my self” with cool as f$%k AI ART pieces is terrible. No one wants to hear about me. The idea scares me. It might ruin the collection. It makes me super uncomfortable.

So I have to do it.

Welcome to Selfie Saturdays.
