☕ A Reminder for Creative People

this stage was about planning the mintberry set before it physically existed. mockups of the mintberry set came first. the room was planned with mint green walls, creamy white baseboards, and strawberry-patterned curtains. we tested gathered styles and grommets and switched to grommets because they were easier to move, while keeping the sheer plus curtain combination. the mockup really helped. we found a strawberry curtain that was actually pretty close. noicccce.

There's something kind of surreal about watching free AI image tools go from "barely functional" to "genuinely usable" in the span of one year. In 2026 a few of them can actually keep up with what musicians and artists are trying to make - moody, strange, specific, alive. I tested a bunch and ranked the ones worth your actual attention.

there's a version of AI-assisted creating where you stay fully yourself, and a version where you slowly become a polished, palatable blur of yourself. the difference is not talent. it's knowing exactly where to hold the wheel. the tools don't get to decide what your work sounds like. that part is still yours.
