"It’s better to be prepared for chaos than hope for normal."

In visual art.

These creatures were created by a Bot. Generative art.

Are these guys normal?

Creatures are created by a Bot. Generative art. by the Bot + the author.

I used the MidJourney Bot to create the images above.

They look normal in the eyes of people that love technology and art. But not for the rest of the art lovers.

Years back my normal was to draw on paper. Today I draw most of the time digitally on an iPad.

You may just want stuff to be normal again but that is too much to ask for.

It will never go back to normal. Adapt and survive.

There is no normal or come back.

Things always will change.

Hard to see things going back to normal.

A rift now exists between those that don’t believe things should return to normal and those that want things to return to prep-pandemic status.

Better to adapt to the way things are than to hope for a return to "normality".

Your life as usual?

Do you need the old job? Maybe not.

Normal.

It's conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern. Each one of us has a normal definition.

Normal is characterized by that which is usual, typical, or routine.

It was just a normal, average day. Take a car or metro, or bike to go to the office.

He was commuting to the office. Today he stays and works from home or anywhere in the world, you call home.

Why is it called normal?

Normal came to English around the 17th century, from the Latin normalize, which means “made according to a carpenter’s square, forming a right angle.”

What is a normal person?
