Just got a new (US) passport and... WOW. As a security professional I'm impressed.
Spent a while going over it with a microscope and I keep finding more and smaller anti-counterfeiting features.
There's the usual watermarked paper with embedded fibers. But also multi-material multi-layer 3D features, microlenses, laser engraving, microprinting, holograms, solid plastic overlays with microprinting above and below, color changing ink, and more. The passport number and beare…

I tried to get #copilot to draw a picture "Draw me a Disney Pixar style movie poster about the friendship between a dog and a cat, titled 34".

Happy Leap Day!
"Grimaldi's Leap-Frog in the Comic Pantomine of the Golden Fish"
1812 engraving of part of the act of celebrated English clown Joseph Grimaldi. "Drawn & Etched by W. Heath".
#LeapDay #LeapYear

1812 color engraving in two scenes. Both show man in clown outfit with baggy white pants, red coat, white facepaint, along with a large frog - presumably actually a person in a frog costume. In the first scene, the Clown holds out a bowl of water towards the sitting Frog. In the second scene, the Clown bends over, as the Frog propels itself over the Clown by jumping with hands on the Clown's shoulders, "leap frogging".

The strangest musical engraving I have ever encountered, and I've seen a few. Why? How?! For what earthly purpose?
