Many Ideas, Too Little Time
Hello, MightyBrawnies and my dearest đź’ŞMightyPros!
It’s been a whirlwind lately—so many new ideas swirling in my mind, yet never enough hours to tackle them all. But that’s the creative journey, right? We explore, experiment, and occasionally have to pick and choose what makes the final cut.
Balancing Creativity, Videos, and Storytelling
I absolutely love generating images and testing new ideas with my AI workflows. However, not everything I create ends up on social media or even in the daily broadcast channels. Some pieces don’t fit the theme-of-the-week, others need more refining, and sometimes it’s just about the algorithm—I might hold back certain images if I suspect the social media platform won’t show them to more folks. Plus, I’ve switched almost entirely to video posts lately, which require extra curation, editing, and time. For every 10 images I generate, maybe I can produce a single cohesive video—and if that video doesn’t turn out well, I rinse and repeat. It’s a lot!
But I miss storytelling, especially Lumberlandia. I want to merge those narratives back into my posts, even if that means partially animating them instead of going all-in. You’ll notice more red-plaid-lumberjack arcs popping back soon—so definitely keep an eye out for my caretaker storyline and comedic expansions.
My Daily Interactions & Polls
To those of you in my Instagram broadcast channels or on Telegram, you know I’m always around, sharing daily insights and occasionally polling you for feedback. While in the end, I’ll decide which content goes live, I truly value your input—it’s a group process, in a sense. Your voice helps shape BrawnyAi in ways I never could’ve imagined alone.
Evolving My AI Workflow: The Flux Model & Beyond
Over the past couple of months (hello November–December!), I’ve been deep-diving into a new AI model called Flux. I’ve tested a bazillion permutations—some turned out as scrappy test shots, others wowed me with new levels of realism. You’ll definitely see these improvements shining through in upcoming posts and reels. It’s all part of my constant puzzle-solving: figuring out what works best, what resonates with you all, and what fuels my own creative spark.
The Importance of Sustainability
Those who’ve followed my journey know I’m aiming for financial sustainability via BrawnyAi. If I can’t sustain myself, I can’t keep producing these fun digital hunks, storytelling arcs, comedic animations, or caretaker logs. So yes, part of my efforts involves monetization strategies. One route is membership via 💪MightyPros (thank you to everyone who’s already there!) and the other is exploring merch and commissions.
Which leads me to…
• The Shop: BrawnyAi Trading Post (The 2025 BrawnyAi Calendar will be retired on Feb 28—last chance to grab it before it’s gone for good!)
• Prints & Commissions Survey: I’m gathering your interest on prints and custom commissions to see if it’s worth investing in, say, a professional printer. If you can spare a couple of minutes, [take the survey]!
Catch Me On Podcasts & Music
Podcasts: I’ve revived my “BrawnyAi: From Zero to Creator” show, now up to Episode 015. Check out the latest: “My Latest AI Workflow Challenge + Caretaker’s Corner (Log #1)”. I chat about behind-the-scenes struggles and a mini-segment focusing on the caretaker (responsible for reforesting Lumberlandia, naturally!).
Music: I also released new songs, including “Somewhere Not Bound”. It reflects my personal experiences in love, freedom, and that tension between wanting closeness but also independence. It’s all AI-driven, so yes—another creative front that demands time and energy. But it’s thrilling to learn and grow in these areas!
Big Thanks to All My Supporters!
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has purchased my calendars, listened to the new podcast, or stuck around in daily broadcast channels. And an extra hearty thank you to my current 💪MightyPros—your support helps keep this dream alive. I’m still short of being fully sustainable, but every step gets me closer.
For all MightyBrawnies (free members), here’s a short gallery preview below. Enjoy these glimpses into some recent image sets that might not have made it onto my social feeds!
Conclusion: Let’s Keep Building This Together
I know “many ideas, too little time” sounds like the daily life of a bohemian AI artist—and it is!
