The decentralized structure of the AT protocol was the reason I signed up for an account on Bluesky. I wouldn't put myself in a locked-in situation on a closed platform without control of my data. Today I moved to eurosky! Painless migration. Now my data is stored in Europe. www.eurosky.tech

...and for some reason I felt like reading this classic from 2018 again. I found the packing slip used as a bookmark inside, and while the message on the bottom was common when I ordered the book in 2020, reading this now felt a bit more eerie than during the pandemic. Because, war is hell, right?

I don't really want to be the guy spoiling a multi-trillion launch of new logo, design and company values, but by first announcing the Department of War, then saying "war is hell", this is an obvious Brand Refresh leading up to The Department of Hell. I'm curious to see the color palette and font.

Dear Lee, I love your commitment to your art. When trolls and fascists crawl up from the ground, heroes also emerge. A pink jacket will never again be just a pink jacket. A whistle is not a weapon, but something way more powerful. The pen is stronger than the sword. Great work!

#art #croquis #drawing #figurativeart #lifedrawing A drawing from the 2 minutes session last night. Managed to use 5 colors, but didn't have time to draw the head. Which is fine, as individual anatomical features are of no to me, while abstraction of form and volume are.

#art #croquis #drawing #figurativeart #lifedrawing Color brush pen croquis, 2 minutes, 6 colors. I remember this whole session as a joyride, where I managed to use multiple colors in each drawing. I'm very happy with the distribution of the colors and the rugged character of the lines.

#art #croquis #drawing #figurativeart Croquis, one minute sessions. The model is using a couple of seconds between each pose, and I have to change paper, leaving about 55 seconds to draw the figure. I was able to use two colors for this one, Beige Red and Apricot.

I love these paintings. Great compositions and beautiful integration of the human body into a close to abstract surface.

Note to self: Try to limit the overall range within both saturation and brightness. A tiny area of a value outside the main range can heighten the dynamics. Note the yellow dot in the top branch of the central tree, and the warm field behind the trunk on the right.

Had to cannibalize another art piece to get this online. I need to order more MCUs. But finally the reclining nude got her phone connected, and she is scrolling all day long. #art #painting #conceptart #rp2040 #figurativeart #electronics #acrylicpaint
