Hi, this is the more subdued side of AKA-Hermosaman. This blog is cooler and somewhat more laid-back. I also have a couple of others, including my photos at Mike-Hope 500px. I was also the keeper of the company website (now long passed on to better things).
I have been working on the beginnings of what I thought might one day become a book, and I have just completed the final draft. It is now available on Amazon Kindle (Wistman’s Wood: A Tale of the Moors and Beyond). It was certainly a bit of fun to play around with. I’m drafting ideas for a sequel which I would like to set in the near future, probably five years on, where AI and man are seen working together to secure the future. It would also explore the connections with Mysticism, stored knowledge and the connection with our known universe and beyond. I’ll update the site as it goes along.
Some of my photo art is also available on Fine Art America
Music is another one of my passions, and I have created different genres over the years using keyboards, digital loops, and my own sounds to produce a few tracks. Lately, I have combined some of these sounds with my own musical clips in the AI Suno app, which helps inspire me to experiment further. Most of my tracks are up on sound cloud or you can find them on other platforms under AKA-Hermosaman.
My full album of “Take Me Back To My Kentucky Roots” plus more – available on Amazon
Vinyl Record “Take Me Back To My Kentucky Roots” now available here
I am also promoting some of my artwork, designs, prints, apparel, gifts, and more on Redbubble—it’s fun, so take a look!
Also, I have become very interested in the Hope family’s Scottish ancestry, with particular reference to Clan Hope and the Hopes of Craighall. It’s a fascinating history of some prominent and colorful figures who helped shape the course of Scottish and English history.
