As you'll have seen, hooded crows have taken over my art lately. If you were wondering about the connection between these bird monks and the post from earlier this month about my old band The Hooded Crow, yes there is a connection. My brother, the former drummer of The Hooded Crow, has continued to post new lyric videos for old demos on YouTube every 10 days or so.

I'm going to re-learn the song to see how I would do that today. I commented to our former bassist that I wasn't too keen on seeing the old art that I'd made while in the band, because it was the same two or three images and I would be able to do much better. That got passed on to my brother in England, but before I could send any new art, he'd already replaced one existing video thumbnail with AI generated images and made new ones
