    Really cool little piece of software. Maybe check it out

    Maybe.

    Remember the mid-2000's Ukrainians Orange revolution? I wouldn't be surprised you don't b/c those fasciat losers were stopped from within, so we don't talk about them too often. Which is good, honestly.

  • NFT's are useless crap. AI has lots of uses.

    What I see is lots of folks who are angry with cut-throat, late stage Capitalism that exploits AI to hoarde wealth and fuck over the rest of us, not AI itself, which is just a tool.

    But you all are so quick to circle jerk AI hate w/o taking a moment to step back & see the root problem.

    It's goddamn embarrassing.

    You are a little fool. Good luck.

  • With reporters shot and roughed up, advocates question whether those covering protests are targets
  • But only advocates!

    Remember, if you find yourself asking this seemingly obvious questions, you are also an advocate!

    And how can you be a good, neutral centrists if you're an advocate!? Why, the very idea is ludicrous!

    So, be a real fence sitter. Remember, avoid being an advocate by not asking the wrong kinds of questions! 🌈⭐

  • Brush Pen vs Brush

    Doodles the left page were done with brush pen while the right was done with a paintbrush & ink (my preferred).

    I'm honestly not sure I can tell the difference :/

    Bored somewhere I can't leave, so uploading a sketch I happen to have on my phone camera while I wait.

    Brush & India ink on vellum bristol

    I'm not sure if this piece is finished, but I'm done with it, if that makes sense.

    About 9.5" x 9.5"

    Brushpen comparison

    Experimenting with different pens in a sketchbook, I thought it might be interesting to try this contrast. The page on the right was done with the fattest pen from this brand line while the left was done with the thinnest.

    If this sub isn't really for sketchbook work, my bad, please just let me know .

    Scratch art (2.5x2.75")

    I found the tool I use for scratchboard/paper, so here it is. It looks like a pen, but is actually a flexible little blade.

    I hope you enjoy!

    Scratchboard appx 3x3"

    Scratchboard sketch (scratchpaper? That's kind of something else. Anyways).

    The tool I use looks sort of like a calligraphy pen, but is a flexible blade. I seem to have misplaced it, so, that's annoying. I'll try to include a picture next time.

    I hope you enjoy.

    Ink on bristol

    I'm realizing folks like to see the tools people use when they draw so I included that this time. It's a brush that's too small tbh (a friggin' size 4/0) but it's nice & I got it for extremely cheap.

    Hope you're having a swell day!

    Thin Scratchboard/paper (3 x 3.5")

    This is done on paper that mimics scratch board, but is waaaaaaaay cheaper. Somewhat hard to find without rainbow colors underneath, unfortunately.
