I love your work, it's like an updated voyager golden data disk packed with information....graphically elegant!
I'm getting big foreshadowing vibes that one of The Boys is going to die this season, and I think it would be too obvious to be Butcher (I think he'll probably end up killing Homelander along with himself in the next and final season) .....but I could be completely wrong!
Either way I like it when The Boys have their backs against the wall, with all their previous misdeeds biting them on their arses and no obvious solution in sight (although it is truly depressing seeing the parallels with the way Voight and the supes manipulate and twist everything in the media, and our present situation/s)
Really beautiful photo!
Some years ago, I saw a neat photo collage centered around power lines by some artist
Was it something like this?
I posted his work to collage sometime ago

I went in blind...
Us too, we had no idea, just that it seemed highly recommended
Each episode had us going WTF and trying to work out the 'puzzle' of it all....don't even get me started on the utterly bizarre waffle party
Looking forward to this!
Me and the bf really enjoyed the WTF puzzling of the first season and the beautiful aesthetic, I just hope they continue the quality and don't shit the bed.....
Totally agree....
I've been using mint for the last 4 years, and while I have had to use the command line for some obscure installs, it also works as an OS without needing to use it (i jumped in at the deep end and installed it in a pc I got from my brother and used it as my everyday OS)
I don't understand why Mint isn't the first suggestion for Linux 'virgins' switching over from Windows etc, it has everything you need pre installed plus the download manager for anything else
Linux has a flavour for everyone, and after a while when you're confidence and skills grow there is the fun of using the command line and a bit of tinkering....or not, if you are happy with the 'basics'

He uses a balance of detail, symmetry and movement to create artworks largely featuring contemporary landscapes and urban culture in the North West of England.

'fban' by philipp igumnov
That was hilarious, it sounds like me when I have IBS
I can't believe that I didn't know about this.... David Attenborough never had this in his documentaries
We used to have a video club at Primary School (5-12 years) where you'd pay something like 10p to watch a film after school on a crappy TV. One such film was Beastmaster, we also watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, and inexplicably Assault on Precinct 13 (one of the older kids brought it in and told us younger ones not to say anything to the teachers)
Needless to say, I loved Beastmaster and Raiders, and didn't have a clue what was happening in Precinct 13 apart from the swearing and violence....Fun times
I don't normally comment on news posts, but in this instance, FUCK CANCER
Fuck cancer for stealing my brother from me, and for taking half my bf's lung
I seriously hopes this works for everyone out there living with this disease, and for their families, friends, the people who love them....
.....and also for everyone who has died too soon and missed their chance for survival. Their donation of tissue samples and furthering the cancer research that ultimately wouldn't help them, but will help the poor bastards that are diagnosed today and in the future...It is bitter sweet
Fuck cancer
Simo is definitely a weird one!
My faves are Vlad (who looks like he's seen some shit), Fluffy (sleep paralysis demon vibes), Hubble (a big goofy floof) and Ophelia (who's just in the process of teleporting in)
....sweet dreams!
Hi, have you tried posting in any of the digital art communities? I know there are a couple, but have no idea if they're active or not

>I’m not sure I have a favorite but I’m quite proud of my most recent color linocut, Moss Lord. It was one of those rare freak things where you see the scene in your head and fall in love with it and somehow it turns out the way you pictured.

>Learning how to make multi-block color prints was a big deal for me. Up to that point, the only color relief print technique I knew was reduction, which is arguably more efficient and easier than multi-block, but it has the serious limitation of not being able to reprint. Once you cut the key, that’s it. No possibility of alternate colorways or future editions.

>My studio is a dining room that is never used for actual dining. There’s a secondhand table for carving, a workbench for printing, and a tall metal flat file where I store prints and paper and art I keep meaning to get framed.

>I like seeing what’s behind the figures, seeing more of the world they’re in, and I guess this naturally translates into a sort of 3D look. Plus I just like pushing the two-dimensionality associated with this medium. I like layers interacting with each other.

>Printing is the most exciting part of the process, but it’s also the most physically demanding—and, when a print doesn’t turn out how you planned, the most disappointing.

>I love to draw, though I think carving is probably my favorite aspect of making prints. It’s extremely satisfying to physically work the image out of the block.

>I think translating complicated visual narratives into tidy black and white lines is always going to be appealing—for more reasons than just cost-effective translation to print mediums, like comics and books. It sometimes feels to me like a wish for our own lives and problems to be as cleanly solvable. Or, if not actually solvable, then at least aesthetically pleasing.

a certain ‘labor of love’ needs to be involved
You are not wrong! I think I must be mental sometimes, but it can be good fun discovering new things and then sharing them....
I really like her work, I posted last week some of her cityscapes of Manchester, which is interesting to see the ordinary and mundane of somewhere you know immortalized in art. I've got some others of hers which I'll probably share next week
Also thanks for the tip regarding the code to expand images, it would be nice if the developers added a nice easy button to click to do it for me, but it's something I can remember to do, like all the other minor things that help when making a post (it's a learning process)
Cheers! 😀
edit, I've just tried it out on one of my posts on mander, it works really well!
Scotland does have it's share of horrible decor, I do quite like the over abundance of tartan soft furnishings though...I've seen some that must be like living in one of those 'magic eye' pictures, must be fun if you have epilepsy....
