How art invented humanity

When early humans first painted cave walls, they began to find out who they really were: our minds emerged from our images

Two figures stand on opposite sides of a chasm, looking at each other. The figure on the left is smaller, and holding a flashlight pointed at the ground. The figure on the right is much larger and heavier, and pointing a flashlight in front of it, illuminating the cliff on the other side. There is a glowing white halo above its head. This is a primarily pink painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

Chamomile #490
(New comic every Sunday)
http://jezmmart.com/chamomilecomic
#jezmmart #chamomilecomic #comics #webcomic #art

Comic from my weekly series, Chamomile. Detailed Description Follows:

In an absolutely identical manner as the previous comic, Chamomile enters The Cubby and begins cheerfully speaking to Vienna, who is behind the counter. Chamomile says "Hey Vi, if you were stuck in a 24-hour time loop, what would you try? Like, to escape it?" Vienna turns around from what she's doing and says "...You asked me that same question yesterday." Chamomile lookes ecstatic, yelling "Oh! Thank goodness! I'm finally out!" Vienna gives a grimaced smile as she quietly says "...Alright, I'll humour the bit..." At normal volume, she then says "You've been stuck in a time loop, huh?" Chamomile says "Yeah, it was pretty harrowing, but I grew a lot as a person." Chamomile tilts her head in concern as she says "You don't seem very excited." Vienna says "Sorry, it's not so interesting from outside the loop." Chamomile says "Aw, here I was thinking that'd be a really novel perspective, compared to how time loop stories usually work!" Vienna says "Seems not." Chamomile replies "Yeah..." Vienna folds her arms and says "So, what broke you out, anyway?" Chamomile cheerfully says "Finally made a doctor's appointment I keep putting off." Vienna says "Ah, yeah. That'll do it." End of comic.

Bougainvillea am Meer ist ein handgemaltes Acrylgemälde der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar.
Blüten einer Bougainvillea in leuchtendem Pink und Rosa erblühen vor einem Hintergrund in Blau- und Türkistönen. Die Textur erinnert an sanfte Wellen auf der Meeresoberfläche im Sonnenlicht. Die mit lockeren Pinselstrichen aufgetragenen Farbschichten verleihen dem Bild Dynamik und Tiefe. Die leuchtenden Farben erzeugen eine sommerliche Mittelmeer-Stimmung und bringen dir das entspannte Gefühl von Urlaub am Meer direkt ins Haus.

A large, rusty round door is embedded in a dull green concrete wall. The door, if that's what it is, has various bolts, vents, and complexities that make the purpose hard to define. To the left and connected to it is a small keypad with glowing green and red lights. Above it is a pipe, and a single glowing fluorescent light. On the wall above it is a faded stencil of "30" in red paint, and a grimy sign with a red triangle on it. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

Hi all!

I just opened up a Kofi because I have been struggling to find employment and have some old medical bills that I'd really like to get sorted. Having a source of income beyond that initial goal would also be nice, but that's getting ahead of myself.

With this Kofi, I'm also opening up some $1.50 commissions. That's not a typo, I'm that desperate. For $1.50 I will be taking requests for doodles in KolourPaint. More details in the attached image.

Boosts heavily appreciated. I may do streams dedicated to fulfilling these requests, depending on overall interest.

An MS Paint styled drawing of a mousegirl in a field looking back at you ominously as a setting sun peeks out from behind her.

Over this drawing is a bunch of info for "Kolourpaint Commissions".

The main body of text reads: "Hi. I have $100 in medical bills, so I am opening up $1.50 (USD) creative freedom(ish) commissions for Paint doodles. I will still stick as closely as possible to the provided idea, if applicable, I just am giving myself that little bit of wiggle room for some personal interpretation/discretion as to not get stressed out by doing such cheap commissions. I hope this is acceptable.

If you make a donation rather than directly commissioning me, please still provide an idea and all relevant info, I may still do a doodle for you. Thank you!"

There are 3 examples of low quality, for donations less than $1.50. "Smaller donations may get a silly zero effort doodle, for fun."

There are 5 examples of varying quality for $1.50 commissions/donations. "Commissions will get higher effort doodles. Larger donations may get doodles like these as well. Also for fun!"

At the bottom are my Fedi and Kofi socials, maemele@critters.gay and Kofi.com/maemele.
