   Here's the final cover for Roger Clyne's newest album:

   And, here is the artwork in my studio before delivery, last week, when Uno wasn't sure it passed muster. . .

   And, speaking of passing muster, Erik Wright forwarded me this alleged photo of an early skateboarder from the El Paso barrio back in 1910.

   I'm sorry, but I smell AI as that kid with the primitive skateboard looks dropped in, or, faked in, to my eyes. The scary part is, it looks almost accurate with maybe a smidgen of fakery that AI hasn't quite mastered yet. But be forewarned when artificial intelligence can illustrate any and all scenarios and have it look totally real that is going to create a weird dilemma for authentic history, isn't it? Will there be any way to prove it's fake, if the human eye can't tell? But, it's all coming like a freight train and I don't think it's a problem I'm going to solve, so good luck!
