Replying to @chapps

The most popular restoration I've done is the one showing an ordinary man's business in Ancient Rome. x.com/chapps/status/…

My most difficult creative challenge, I present the #polychrome version of this ca. 50 AD Roman funerary relief, showing the deceased's pillow shop. *Many* thanks to @DrNWillburger for all her time and help on research and for the original image! #Uffizi #polychromy 1/

This is how little you can trust this platform to actually spot #AI. I took this photo myself at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain, and did minimal color, lighting adjustment. Labeled AI. As you can see from my photo library, I took two shots with my iPhone.

Samsung hosted this #BritishMuseum event and the publicity backlash is so bad that they apparently pulled down their press release - it’s a dead link now. The question is, why did the BM wait until the day of the event to inform ticket holders of the closure?

@DHess0977424480 @chapps They didn’t double sell - the private event was the attendance of a royal and an MP at the newly opened Korea exhibition.
So kicked out so the other would have better security.

I cannot even get my head around the #BritishMuseum closing and cancelling tickets people held for the Bayeux Tapestry for a damned politician’s dinner. ‘Just get another ticket’ is not the right answer, considering many have waited months and traveled far to attend. Grotesque.

Waited since I was 7 years old to see the Bayeux Tapestry. Got in an hour-long online queue to spend £50 on tickets. Got there ahead of time. Stood in a queue for 20 minutes. Then was told halfway through the queue that the gallery was closing.

The @britishmuseum stinks 😭
