Happy Halloween! A Parlor Special...

Happy Halloween!

This is perhaps the only time of year I feel is appropriate for unveiling this particular 3D model of mine.  It is the Mayfair tomb, which is set to be located in Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, New Orleans.

Executive Order 13985 on AI Signed by President Biden Today

I went back to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA Strikes 2023 page of the Parlor--and promptly realized I had not quite finished my thoughts on the issue of AI.  Today, however, President Joe Biden has signed Executive Order 13985 on the Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.

The Parlor and AI

It's been a few weeks since I've checked the Parlor's Twitter feed, but I have found updates from SAG-AFTRA and WGA regarding the strike and another topic: AI.  I've shared the tweets on the Parlor's Twitter feed. 

3D Model Goes Inside First Street

 

I am all kinds of excited!  I've finally gotten to a point in the project where I can provide a major update on its progress!  Much more detail has been added to the 3D model of 1239 First Street.

One of the things I'd like to do with the 3D model of 1239 First Street is to display items made from the descriptions of them in Anne Rice's novels.  I've already added the first of the framed portraits used for cover art, such as the painting on the cover of Blood Canticle.  The cameos from the front and back of the dust jacket of Blackwood Farm appear in GIF images on the Parlor.  Of course, the Mayfair Emerald was made from descriptions of it in The Witching Hour, and now, I have been working on a model of the emerald key featured in the AMC series.

The Parlor Has Some Goodies and an IWtV Season 2 Update...

The Parlor has been hard at work with building the 3D model of 1239 First Street!  Not only is it to help bring the world of the Mayfair Witches "to life", so to speak, the hobby itself can be calming when world events are in a state of total horror and chaos.  Very soon, I intend to make some brief videos of the model to show the details, but I'll give a few brief teasers here...

One More Double Parlor Detail...

...the baseboards.

Details of the Double Parlor

 I was looking at the photos of the double parlor at 1239 First Street that had been taken in the 1930s and in 1964 earlier.  Every detail I focus on says even more that houses like this one are unique.  Even though they're something of an architectural polyglot.  Even the fireplaces are interesting!
