It's so inspiring seen people succeed on this platform. I'm just starting but hope to achieve it one day 🤩

I teach non-technical people how to use tools like Descript, YouTube and AI, and I've noticed that every new tool spawns a new species of behavior.

In the Library of Congress I found Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur (1904), a set of chromolithograph plates by Adolf Giltsch that turned boxfish, spiders and hummingbirds into symmetrical scientific specimens.

I built a Recraft Style from three of those plates, cropping out the captions and page edges so it learned only the stipple, the ochre and rust palette and the cream paper.

Then I used it to document the wildlife of the modern workday, from the Muted Ostrich to the Inbox Hydra, as if a 1904 naturalist had discovered them.

It's a field guide to the creatures we've all become, one I wish existed when I started teaching people to stop doomscrolling and start creating.
