In this case it's a real person. Leng, Jun of China. His paintings have gone for as much as 10 million. youtu.be/an0_lgRtGhA?...

Thanks for the link. He is amazing

As crazy as everything is these days seeing such talent is a balm for my soul.

I agree. I would like to follow more artists of all kinds just so I can change my feed from the doom and gloom all the time, if that's how it works. I don't know anything about algorithms. Nature and human creativity are the healing balms for my soul too, so well said 🙂

I try to balance the horrible with the beautiful. My You Tube algorithm seems to know just about when I need to come up for air & my feed starts showing people who react to my favorite musical groups just about the time it feels like I need a break.

I watch a lot of music videos, concerts and stand-up, especially before bed.

We have to remember the world we're fighting for CAN BE a place of beauty & progress; love, laughter & joy. And that we aren't alone in wanting the occupation of the White House to end so peace can be restored & the government can become boring again.

Hard to tell sometimes.

It really is. I don't like feeling like I have to look for tricks to spot it. I don't like magicians for the same reason. Of course, I don't know the tricks of either, so I feel foolish.
