Regular

Today is a swanny kind of day—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.

Today’s prompt for my extended blogging challenge after micro∙blog’s Microblogvember is:

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.

Today I’ll use the randomly generated word:

chimpanzee

Should be interesting 🐵

Caturday means day of tolerance and love. 🐱

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.

Today, December 10, the prompt for my extension of micro∙blog’s November 2022 blogging challenge is:

average

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.

Tomorrow, December 8, the prompt for my continued blogging self-challenge is:

fence

It seems the best mindset to learn is to be humble, accept that you know only a little, and be patient. Learning is like gardening, new ideas are more like kernels, slowly grown and matured. Brains tend to relate established ideas with who you are and with who you belong to.

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 ☹️

Today, 8 December, my prompt for an extended version of micro∙blog’s Microblogvember is:

squash

It gives me animation vibes—squash & stretch 💪

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.

Tomorrow, December 7, the prompt for my extended blogging challenge is going to be…

hip

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.

On the sixth day of my personal extension of micro∙blog’s microblogvember the prompt will be:

autonomy

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 ƒ15 (± €126 nowadays). Professionally made replicas retail for €1500 and up.

Proportion

I always had problems with measuring; I was never very exact with it. For drawing it meant that likeness required more work and more attention. Even though it doesn’t look like it, the sketch took me over 90 minutes and still it’s all wrong, wrong, wrong!

Tomorrow, December 4, the prompt for my extended blogging challenge is going to be…

proportion

Such an art-making related word.
