Prompt: Create a spooky, misty watercolor image in the bowels of the sewer system in New York City. An old zombie wearing a straw cowboy hat is slowly drifting towards the person viewing the image in a faded camouflage-colored fishing kayak. He is standing up in the kayak holding his fishing pole with the line dangling in the water. In the other hand he is holding a dead, decaying rat by its tail. He has dark, piercing eyes.The zombie fisherman is wearing a plaid Wrangler cowboy snap shirt with the sleeves rolled up just above his elbows. The background color of the plaid is cobalt blue with white and yellow lines. His shirt-tail is extra long and comes down to the middle of his thighs, and just an inch of his baggy white boxer shorts are peeking out from under the shirt. He’s wearing worn out, brown leather cowboy boots.There is a wooden paddle sticking out of a holder on one side of the kayak. On the other side, in another large holder is an old two-liter bottle of Sprite. A mysterious lime-green mist is wafting out of it. On the front end of the kayak is a dried up bottle of Berkley lime twist PowerBait with the lid off and an open bag of David brand sunflower seeds.The perspective is as if the viewer were paddling toward the zombie fisherman with a flashlight shining on him. All around is dark and spooky looking. The water is dark and full of sewage and trash. Flies are buzzing around the zombie in the light. He has a big, toothy, sinister grin. One of his front teeth is silver and the light is glinting off of it.

Week 7 Theme: Fusion Lab: Convergence of Plants and Animals
Prompt: A surreal, high-tech greenhouse laboratory under a moody, overcast sky, with rain dew trailing down the glass ceiling above. In the center sits a large cylindrical tank containing a frog-shaped plant, sculpted entirely from intertwining vines, moss, petals, and leaves. The plant-frog uses every color of the rainbow, but all in dull, muted tones — olive greens, dusty reds, faded blues, soft purples, etc.
The frog is in a calm, seated position, holding a small, bark-and-petal-bound book titled “AI”. The book glows faintly with bioluminescent light, casting a soft shimmer onto the frog’s leafy face.
Around the tank, shelves hold hybrid plant specimens in glass jars — some with roots writhing gently, others in stasis. The lab is dimly lit with glowing control panels and subtle signs of nature creeping into the tech — moss edging the machines and vines snaking near outlets. The whole scene feels like a quiet, mysterious intersection of botany, biology, and futuristic intellect.
Can we have the glow of the book shine from the inside so it lights up his face?
We make a different name to the book he’s reading, I want him to be reading an autobiography but make it AI themed since that’s where he’s came from
