#notesArt #mastoArt #art #illustration #inktober day 4: murky

A spread of photos and papers that look like they're fixed to a gray wall or a bulletin board. It's an eerie collection of items: grainy photos of lights in the sky and a triangular craft; a green X-ray of a head that does not look human; a black and white photo of a mummified head that looks distinctly alien; a sheet with "Evidence" on it in large red letters; another sheet with mimeographed purple writing, an indeterminate diagram, and a red heading of "Top secret"; and an ID badge. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

squeezing in one last decembird with this loquacious lad, gary nubird. the starling is rarer & rarer in scotland; so, sadly, i've never had the distinct honour of hearing one bust out a classic electro riff. i'll bet they do it all the time, though, with their little customised roland tr-808s.

Time for a new #introduction!

I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.

I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands

I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing

I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.

"I have made a great discovery. I no longer believe in
anything. Objects don't exist for me except in so far as a rapport
exists between them or between them and myself. When one attains this
harmony, one reaches a sort of intellectual non-existence — what I can
only describe as a sense of peace, which makes everything possible and
right. Life then becomes a perpetual revelation. That is true poetry."

~Georges Braque was born #OTD in 1882.

Time moves slower on the back roads of Cumbria. Buildings age gradually. Gort Hall slides silently into the 21st century.

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about cute little sugar gliders!

#art #SugarGlider #animal #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sciart #inkart

Sketchbook page of drawings of sugar gliders in teal ink. There are 7 drawings and the top of the page is labeled "Sugar Gliders" with the date 5/20/25. The top is one with its tongue sticking out, one gliding ("woosh" and "whee"), and a baby one. Below that is one on a branch, one holding some fingers, a small face, and a sleeping one.

Pencil cartoon of yours truly dressed as a superhero, surrounded by words: "Introvert! Conversationally awkward! Aargh! Self conscious! Doesn't even drink so can't use that to help! A bit weird!", and captioned "Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's Making Social Interactions With People She Doesn't Know Very Well Inexplicably Terrifying Woman!" (Now with internal screaming!) A speech bubble reads "Can we cancel?"

Finally – here is my finished new watercolor painting, of which I have shown you #wip pictures in the last few days - Black Cat Peeking Behind Pumpkins!
Enjoy!

A small black cat peeks curiously out from behind a group of colorful pumpkins and gourds. The pumpkins come in different shapes, colours and sizes. Only the head and one front paw of the cute kitten behind it can be seen. The cat seems to enjoy playing hide and seek.
The bright warm colors create a cozy and playful autumn atmosphere.
Black cat peeking behind pumpkins is a hand-painted watercolour by artist Karen Kaspar. It is perfect for autumnal home decoration and for anyone who likes cute rather than scary images for Halloween.

There is a reason my dog is named “Linus” — “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” is one of the most beautiful examples of Linus Van Pelt being an amazing philosopher from the [IMO] #Spinoza school.

The Maud Sulter Annual Lecture
31 October, Glasgow School of Art – free

Pratibha Parmar met Maud Sulter in the mid 1980’s when many outside the mainstream arts establishment were committed to growing a vibrant Black women’s arts movement. Parmar will talk about these foundational moments in dialogue with Sulter’s work & their reverberations today.

A person sits on the roof of a house at night. The sky is very clear and filled with stars. The house is in a large meadow, with the blurry suggestion of trees in the background. It has a window, but it's dark. The person is pointing a flashlight down towards the ground, squarely at the head of a large, unsettling figure lurching towards the house. The figure on the ground is hunched over, with unusually long arms; its posture suggests that it shuffles like a zombie. Low fog covers the ground. This is a predominantly blue painting with tinges of purple. It is signed "Chris Silverman".

I spent a lot of time as a child, wandering through meadows, staring at the sky, exploring my surroundings, daydreaming about the future.

I also spent a lot of time, at home, watching TV.

One was a waste of time, lost moments that could have been spent doing something, anything, of greater worth.

The other wasn't wasted time. Thinking never is.

Oh, I know it will be dark soon, but it won't come suddenly; there will be time to find my way back to the tent.

I'd like to just sit here on the banks of this quiet lake and feel the sunset coming on, breathe in the twilight and the silence, relax into the intense calmness and stillness of this moment.

A serene landscape in the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia's panhandle region features a mixture of tall trees bordering a background meadow of golden soybeans. The foreground is an open field filled with wildflowers and tall natural grasses and reeds, growing through red earth and golden rocks. In the distance, there is a hint of the Blue Ridge Mountains surrounding beautiful Harpers Ferry. The sky is filled with soft clouds, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
