Midjourney AI

I tried it for like a few prompts, immediately got “addicted”, and subscribed so I could explore more. One of my first use cases is to imagine a theme and illustrations to go with my micro-community, Takibi.

Takibi (たきび) means “campfire” in Japanese. I started Takibi as a group of accountability buddies among friends and trusted individuals.

These were some of the earlier explorations:

campfire with 12 people circling next to a tent inside Japanese forest with camping gears by Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, Anime, dramatic lighting, bird-eye view

campfire with 12 people circling and talking with ipads and laptops on their hands next to a tent on high ground overlooking a Japanese forest with camping gears by Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, Anime, dramatic lighting, waist up shot

a Whistler painting of 5 diverse campers, forest, mountains, rivers, sunset, tent, camping gears, tripod
