  • I tried some Mathologer stuff, and found it very hard to replicate. Often it’s just too hard for me to follow. Maybe I’m just too old or scatterbrained. I’m seriously contemplating to enter my doodles in Doodleaddicts, aka DA, not to be confused with deviantART.

  • Peasant

    I watched a documentary about the European medieval history of peasants and landlords, and how 80 percent of the population worked the land. Some (70%) were serfs, and not all were poor, as you might expect. They were mostly neglected, though.

  • Dribble

    Knowledge and experience are similar in the sense that they both come in small quantities and accumulate over time. It makes me realize how little I know, and that I can’t possibly know it all. And then there are things we can never know nor live through.

  • Drawn in French Girls App on August 20, 2016. Even back then, there were “technical difficulties”. Apparently, few things have changed since then.

  • Brain

    Literature often returns to this mysterious organ on top of our bodies. Be it Frankenstein who got a bad one, or the scarecrow from Oz who had one after all (spoiler!). Alas, its response often makes no sense, hence the mysteriousness.

  • Lump

    Recent developments with AI on online artists communities (DeviantArt and ArtStation) make clear that art and artists are denied any deference for their key role in society. No consent is deemed necessary. So sad 😞

  • Sticky

    When you’re on a web service that’s full of fun and interesting people, that service tends to be sticky in a nice way. When that service turns sour from misbehavior, it’s sticky in an uncomfortable way. You might even call it fishy, since it reeks from discontent.

  • Split

    The guys from the Connected podcast left Twitter en masse, because they couldn’t take the verbal attacks, bigotry and downright neo-nazism anymore. I can only hope they will become happier by no longer reading what a bunch of close-minded idiots think is free speech.

  • The question remains if I should explore ballpoint pen art, knowing my failure rate at pursuing such topics has been 100%. Well, actually, I was too passionate and burned out before I approached anything like mastering. I should pace myself.

  • attic

    There’s a place in many houses where stuff is stored, or, more accurately stated, stowed away until people move house (and sometimes not even then). Up and away out of people’s minds.

  • I grew up in the era of the Apollo space program, and see it as how human explore space. Of course, robotic space exploration is much safer for humans and requires less onboard support. Therefore, robots have gone further into deep space than human ever would or could.

    I suppose they call it a computer 🐁 mouse, not a computer πŸ€ rat (or 🐹 hamster), for good reasons?

  • Regular

    Today is a swanny kind of dayβ€”normal in any other sense. I tried to do something different than I’m used to, because I never could follow instructions anyway, and loathe going the same route every day. Not very smart, though, getting myself in awkward situations.

  • Chimpanzee

    On July 14, 1960 Jane Goodall began her 6 year study on the human-like behavior of chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. Since all species closely related to humans are extinct, the endangered chimpanzee is now evolutionary the closest to us.

  • Average

    My art has it written all over it. It’s the mean value of a set of numbers, yet originally derived from the Arabic averie, which means the damage after a ship has been wrecked. Re my art, I just have to keep pushing, not give up. Eventually it will improve.

  • Fence

    I had such a great sketch in mind… Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea after all. Sometime you need to adjust an ambitious plan. Anyway, I need to sketch more from reference, without downright copying, see the big shapes, and copy those.

  • Squash

    I highly recommend against an image search on this word, since you cannot unsee when what seems funny in a cartoon world has happened in real life. More disgusting is that someone actually photographed and uploaded it. This is why we can’t have nice things ☹️

  • Hip

    Not in any way an admirer of fast fashion, I’m pretty unaware what is fashionable and trendy. It seems all so exploitative and wasteful. The idea seems to be to wear something for a few weeks, then throw it away and buy something else. It’s very trendy with the youth.

  • Auto-NomNom-Y

    Many want cars that drive themselves, so they can munch while being transported. It’s like Elon’s DC against Nikola’s AC, yet not at all, and certainly impossible when there are people involved, some of whom feel more equal than those who are not (like) them.

  • Seat

    The red and blue chair, designed by Gerrit Rietveld between 1919 and 1922. It was an attempt to make good minimalist furniture available to the masses. It was priced in 1923 at Ζ’15 (Β± €126 nowadays). Professionally made replicas retail for €1500 and up.
