I will do everything possible to remain worthy. :)

I'll try not to get on your bad side... :)

Not fine art, but I use artists' tools (mostly airbrush with some oils and pastels). My latest scale model project, 95% done.
comment in response to post
That's seriously impressive! More than I expected.
comment in response to post
Yeah, it's a huge relief to see!

Whoa! I saw the pics from Boston and NYC - so glad to see so much turnout!
comment in response to post
Wow - bigger than I expected!

I really enjoyed that one but you're right to DNF it if it's not clicking for you.

My brain is like 5 Looney Tunes cartoons running at double speed at the same time. Always...

Vicky likes to splat in the middle of the living room

That came out awesome!

In other words, stop pushing back on the fascist takeover?
comment in response to post
Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
comment in response to post
But... but... I have family members that have assured me that Fox has told them everything's fine and there's no fascism to see here! We'rs all just being hysterical libtards! Surely Fox is telling the whole story accurately...
comment in response to post
I bet! Conversely, I'm.looking forward to breaking out the windbreaker and not feeling like I'm about to get run over by a tauntaun outside...

I work in IT - I go through that cycle about 20 times a day. Imposter syndrome stinks, but your art is fantastic no matter what you may think at snany given moment.

Mine are all over the latest news. We're just dealing with family members in the cult who tell us we're "lost" when we call out what's 100% plain to see.
comment in response to post
That's very therapeutic.

I was thinking Gulf of Compensation - sorta the same idea...

I'm sure you'll find a way to muddle through... :)

I love tuxies. :) Boo was 8 weeks old when my oldest son adopted her, and she was dark gray for the first few months.
comment in response to post
Yep- irresistible. My Boo's kinda like that.
comment in response to post
Totally!
comment in response to post
Both of mine are total sweethearts and divas at the same time. Not sure how that works, but it does...
comment in response to post
Happy Valentine's Day! Boo's been my cuddlebug the last few days.

Serenity Now!!!

Have fun! That's cool about your ancestors coming from Transylvania!
comment in response to post
Not fine art like what you do, but I enjoy building and painting models of historic aircraft. My day job is a data system designer, so the geekiness runs deep with me. :)
comment in response to post
You have a Boo too? Mine's always in the mood for treats or attention.
comment in response to post
As long as they don't show up with a cookbook...
comment in response to post
Congratulations!

Vicky likes to splat-ify a lot.

I haven't read Hitchhiker's in ages! I remember dying laughing at that and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Bouncing around reading eclectic stuff is fun too - I'm way behind on a lot of new SF stuff. Spent a lot of last year studying for Epic certifications, so my reading fell way off.
comment in response to post
Any other authors on deck? I've been on a bit of a roll with Blake Crouch's SF stuff - very Twilight Zone-y.
comment in response to post
Nice! I've actually only read a few of his (11/22/63 and The Shining) but I really liked them.
comment in response to post
Looks like you're nailing the details from here.
comment in response to post
Hope you have a great flight! Glad you have good reading material!
comment in response to post
Nice! Never got the hang of those.
comment in response to post
I need to get better about that. I like to exercise outside, but that falls by the wayside when it's icy and getting dark by the time I logoff work.
comment in response to post
My sons and I crack up every day at least once because of my two. Comedy gold.
comment in response to post
I know - having cats around is so much misery... :)
comment in response to post
The only reason I ever got on was because of extended WFH/quarantine, but those apps do not play to my strengths. I didn't have any obnoxious experiences like what you did, but I do much better getting to know people naturally and building repoire that way.
comment in response to post
Oy... I've pretty much nuked the apps at this point.
comment in response to post
Mine usually comes when I'm on a Zoom meeting and trying to focus - they just know...
