leatherandmossprints: ‘Nymphs and Satyr’ by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, c. 1873. Most of his paintings are beautiful, yet to this one I must admit my own egotistical, naïve, and stupid attraction. I would aspire to such a great work, and I feel I could never reach it. But what if I tried anyway? Iʼve already admitted to…

atomic-chronoscaph: art by Robert McCall These need to be in my visual library. The brush strokes on the reef to the right in the underwater landscape are gorgeous. I need to study those later, as well as tag them in either Adobe Bridge or the freeware Allusion. The slightest bit of research is needed then: like…

Here we go: I defended my thesis in March, and I just have had my first nightmare about being part of a presentation assignment where one of the jury members asked me to produce a specific file from my final presentation. Couldnʼt find it. Laptop booted the wrong OS. Wrong resolution. Full panic mode. Did…

|███–| I just love moving files around. I love data. I produce data, I store it, too.

codeandcanvas: Signed up for the Art Nest Academy for their free course, just to get back into my own system, and to see how and where homework overlaps between their and my stuff. People spend so much time on showing off their finished work, that the whole scene has this Wunderkind air: everyone practiced, but…

I spent a few hours looking at my social accounts, and decided to prune and slim both types of social directions, until I ended up with what I have called Camp Rock Bottom over on my mastodon server (I love that thing; it is completely unhinged social software, you need to update it fairly often, your server…

I have finished reading Creative Code and decided to get back to using my business planner, as well as continuing to use my morning pages. Yesterday I realized that I have turned all of my stationery into drawing utensils (more on that in a few months), so I went shopping for writing utensils. And, as…

Have you noticed? People have turned themselves into billboards for ads, canvases for somebody else’s benefit? And the thing is, they are ads for nothing: everybody in 2024 said that the most beautiful thing one can aspire to be, is to look like an ad. Advertising as a visual style, a fashion style. So now…

After over a decade of severe sleep apnea (and bad habits because of that; did you know you can become habituated to feeling too tired to do something you only need 1% energy to do? I sure never noticed), I can tell you, after a year of wondrous sleep therapy: the worst thing ever are…

Around every first Saturday of the month, the following happens between me and my computer—some step repeat on other days, too, but rarely all: encrypting local files syncing encrypted local files with a remote cloud copying notebooks from my notetaking programme into an archival section, named like this: year, month, and notebook name, like so:…
