Chynara Madinkulova (long hair) and Aida Akmatova (bun) compete in the “Traditional Archery” category at the World Nomad games in Kyrgyzstan, which concluded last week.

Said games also include eagle hunting, horseback wrestling, and setting people on fire. Also this game where you chuck javelins at people to knock them off their horse.

Clearly the Olympics needs to step it up.

I’m sorry did you say setting people on fire?

[rejectedprincesses]

Yes. Yes I did.

It’s called Oert Jalymdagan Chabandes. It’s on a stamp.

Anyone who has actually been that sad can tell you that there’s nothing beautiful or literary or mysterios about depression. Depression is like a heaviness that you can’t ever escape. It crushes down on you, making the smallest things like tying your shoes or chewing on toast seem like a twenty-mile hike uphill.

HAPPY 101st BIRTHDAY TO THE LATE HEDY LAMARR

As WWII escalated, Lamarr was motivated to find a way to steer torpedoes by remote control using changing radio frequencies, which she called “frequency hopping,” so that the transmissions could not be jammed by enemies. 

She donated her patent to the U.S. government, but the Navy rejected her designs, convinced the mechanisms would be too large to fit into a torpedo. 

They responded with, “You should go raise money for the war. That’s what you should be doing instead of this silly inventing,” (which she did, raising war bonds by the millions). So she silently watched her invention become a reality under the credit of others and never made a dime from it. 

Over 50 years after her original patent, Hedy did FINALLY get some acknowledgment - even a few awards - but she didn’t show up to accept them. By then, botched plastic surgery made her very reclusive. She died alone in Florida at the age of 86. Her obituaries began with her beauty and made only brief references to the invention she had hoped would prove her mind was beautiful, too.

Today, frequency hopping is used with the wireless phones that we have in our homes, GPS, and most military communication systems.

Happy Birthday, Hedy.

How to Let the Right Clients Find You

If you can choose between finding clients yourself and having clients find you, I strongly suggest the latter. 

Nick Disabato runs Draft Revise and he wrote Cadence & Slang, a book about interactive design. 

Here’s some other stuff from Nick that you may find valuable:

How to make freelancing a durable business

How to transition yourself to product-wise consulting (the secret to Nick’s success!)

what are 3 things u associate with me

[not-painted-anymore-blog-deacti]

Traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies: The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, they often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings and in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from their selves.

Pen/Brush settings for sketching?

I also use this brush for line art and flat colouring. I use this brush with soft edges for shading, and this brush/air brush on lower density for painting backgrounds and other stuff. Basically, it is my all-purpose brush and comes automatically with SAI usuallyBrush size doesnt matter, but for sketching/line art, I personally keep it between 6px and 8px

HEAD’S UP ARTISTS THAT RESIZE IN PHOTOSHOP. This really saved my life. I’d noticed that gross halo around art whenever I resized something but never knew how to get rid of it til Onta showed me and ahhhhh. I’m just so happy there was a solution to it so I really hope this helps others out too!! (also look at more cute bear faces I drew~)

[owlgams]
