Arts & Crafts

I’ve been listening to X-Minus-One episodes for the last few days and am really starting to appreciate the radio play format. Some of the stories are pretty dated, being from the 40’s and 50’s, but a lot of them still hold up if you’re a little forgiving on the science details.

A trip into the Flash era.

This is one of the best-looking decks I’ve seen in a while!

I have been putting off making a valentines card for my wife for the last 3 weeks. I finally sucked it up and churned out this rendition of the Lotería card El Corazón.

"Every walk has to end sometime..." -Sad dog 😉

a random shot of my cat sitting on a table and looking out of a window taken sometime in 2023.

Ever since I was a kid, I was obsessed with utility poles and transmission towers. I have tons of random photos of them, I painted them, drew them, made linocuts of them, 3d models in blender… I have utility poles enframed on the wall over my monitor… just below a linocut of a transmission tower.

Not sure where to post this, so here it goes.

Francis II (12 February 1768 – 2 March 1835) was the last Holy Roman Emperor from 1792 to 1806, and the first Emperor of Austria as Francis I from 1804 to 1835. He was also King of Hungary, Croatia, and Bohemia, and served as the first president of the German Confederation following its establishment in 1815. Francis was born in Florence as the eldest son of future Emperor Leopold II and Maria Luisa of Spain. Leopold became Holy Roman Emperor in 1790 but died two years later, and Francis succeeded him. The Holy Roman Empire immediately became embroiled in the French Revolutionary Wars, the first of which ended in Austrian defeat and the loss of the left bank of the Rhine to France. In 1806, after Napoleon created the Confederation of the Rhine, Francis abdicated as Holy Roman Emperor, which in effect marked the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1813, Francis turned against Napoleon and finally defeated him in the War of the Sixth Coalition, forcing him to abdicate. Francis died in 1835 at the age of 67 and was succeeded by his son, Ferdinand I. This oil portrait on canvas, painted in 1815 by Joseph Kreutzinger, depicts Francis wearing Austrian military uniform with the insignia of various orders. The painting hangs in the Neue Galerie of the Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz, Austria.

Throw back to the 80's, when the wellingtons were large, the eggs free, and the dogs wondering what the hell is he doing? 😂

Gustav Klimt (1862 – 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and a founding member of the Vienna Secession movement. His work helped define the Art Nouveau style in Europe. Klimt is known for his paintings, murals, sketches, and other objets d’art. Klimt’s primary subject was the female body, and his works are marked by a frank eroticism. Amongst his figurative works, which include allegories and portraits, he painted landscapes. He is best known for The Kiss and Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Among the artists of the Vienna Secession, Klimt was the most influenced by Japanese art and its methods.

La parisienne japonaise is an oil on canvas painting by Belgian painter Alfred Stevens. It depicts a young woman in a blue kimono standing in front of a mirror. The painting testifies to Stevens’ involvement with Japonisme. Stevens was one of the earliest collectors of Japanese art in Paris.

I’m really fond of this picture, particularly the light and the perspective. Composition and cropping has been a bit challenging, I’ll gladly hear any suggestions! Hope you like it, happy exposures everyone :)

Well, in any case, the main thing is that Spip made it safely aboard!

Let’s Make Funhole Monetizable Again

Sometimes I do try to explore options other than just simple color and good composition. A well-composed foreboding bit of monochrome is an art too!

Today, we are releasing the full CAD files for the CORE One and CORE One L frames.
