Two years ago the Woods family vacationed in Honolulu, and took this picture:

(Yes, we adopted a cat in Hawaii and flew her all the way back to central Florida.)

My friend Steve Rampton took that photo and a couple of others and adapted them into a caricature we used for our Christmas card that year:

On my libertarian/current events email list yesterday I plugged Steve's new Caricature Academy, in which he'll teach you how to do this, even if you're not an artist. I didn't do that for compensation; I did it because I support Steve, and because anything that encourages people to create art the old-fashioned way, rather than push a button and generate AI slop, is to be encouraged.

The robots need to be put in their place, in my opinion.

I think Steve could make a membership out of his Academy. Right now it's a one-time fee -- and he can keep that.

But for people who are serious, he can also offer monthly live sessions in which he demonstrates a technique and helps his members.

The benefit of this is that he generates dough month after month, instead of just one time.

As the owner of three membership sites, I can tell you they do wonders for building financial stability.

Here, packed into one efficient presentation, is exactly how to build such a thing for yourself:
