Need this here so I can find it when I want it. It’s a kind of Pinterest Pin for pins with no pix. I’m fascinated by his compositions despite the, at best, uncomfortable subject matter. The essay is also valuable to me for insight into the formal development of the imagery. Response to the development of the narrative is more complicated. First and foremost for me: composition.

2017 Albums, a playlist by artmaven on Spotify

I wish everyone would stop changing their apps when they update for glitches or security. I'm tired of keeping up on the "latest and greatest doodads." I've got things I wanna do. I just wanna git on with it.

Tonight, when I heard the familiar sound of the 177th’s F-16s fly over HSHS on night ops, I took to social media to see what I could find. They do twitter, facebook and tumblr. Naturally, I followed. Love those guys. Wonder if they have an Instagam.

Going to try to redraw in another app w/higher rez.

Working on an idea but looks like the rez isn’t good enough for a character this small. Will probably rework the ideas on it.

Tiny Intricate Treehouses for Houseplants

Los Angeles–based artist Jedediah Corwyn Voltz is a prop-maker for TV and film by day who has a charming side business making tiny treehouses for potted bonsai trees, cacti, and succulents.

“Building miniatures for stop motion always leaves me with a huge bin of scrap balsa, basswood, various fabrics, etc. and I found myself making little fantasy constructions out of that stuff during my downtime,” Voltz told The Slate in an email. “Those little scrap forts led to me building some more serious ones in little diorama settings, and last year I built my first living treehouse.”

The tiny treehouses will be on display (and for sale) at L.A.’s Virgil Normal starting April 23. Voltz is available for commissions in L.A. and is developing DIY miniature treehouse-making kits that he hopes to make available next year. Check out more of his work here.

Ballet - 2nd edit

Superman 2 - I edited the first one because the window didn’t feel like it was opening from the building facade. It just felt like it wasn’t there at the beginning of the gif. So I added a window frame to the start of the loop.
