edelsont | The Craiyon is Mightier Than the Sword (1)

No, "Craiyon" isn't a misspelling. It's a Web site, which you can find at https://www.craiyon.com/. And what's it for? It draws pictures for you.

There's a text entry box, which prompts you with "What do you want to see?" Whatever you type there, Craiyon will ruminate for up to two minutes, then present you with a picture "of" what you typed. Of course, if what you typed doesn't make any sense to it, then there will be no clear relationship between your input and its graphical output. It does the best that it can.

If you play with it some, your own answer to the question, "What is Craiyon?" may turn out to be "It's a time-waster." I don't have any problem with that; different strokes for different folks. Besides, it's understandable; it takes practice, plus plain old trial and error, to come up with anything interesting.

So why am I even talking to you about this? Because I'm one of those "different folks" who have gotten hooked on playing with it. And sometimes I do come up with something "interesting" — to me, anyway. Maybe funny, maybe sad(!), maybe it even looks, to me, like art.

So I thought I'd throw some of "my creations" up here on Dreamwidth, in case some of y'all like them too.

Here's one to start with.
