How Survivorship bias works

Morphing into spring. Looking for an online presence that could be comfortable for me and may be even a bit satisfying.

Great awesome! I’ll be following your story. So nice to have company.

My recent obsession — La Santa Muerte. A Mexican folk saint born from the blend of Catholic and pre-European beliefs. Another incarnation of the Great Mother embodying life, death, unconditional love, and full acceptance.

Finally, the end of daylight saving time.
I love longer nights and Tennessee winters. it’s basically one long, moody November for three months.

Frau Holle settles in, her favorite time has come.

Folk tale week

October is almost yellow, South Tennessee

#fall #tennessee #nature #october

I always have this scene in mind when harvesting pears. My paternal grandma was a master tree climber — tiny, slender, and nimble. She would climb right up into the branches and pass the apples down to someone on the ladder.

September sketches. It’s been a long month, included two hotel stays, 16 soccer games for my 11-year-old. Multiple unsuccessful job applications. Several photography jobs. A couple of website gigs. The whole month was hot and dry. Keep my hopes high for October for the fall weather.

I made a lot of sketches. Worked mostly on loosening up and getting into a routine of drawing, also getting familiar with my materials. Used a lot of water soluble graphites and caran’d’ache neocolor ii. Resolution for next month: make my sketches more aesthetic in October color scheme.

Second print. Handstands. Self explanatory, my hands are here to hold my phone for my brain to back out and do its thing that I don’t even like.

Enhanced with inks

Just the print

It’s juice boxes prints. My main theme for the series is content consumption.

First, Inside of Nowhere is about my attention being steered by the endless flow of input.

Haven’t used instagram for 2 month, really wanted to do an art challenge. Made two images and couldn’t make myself to post there. So I’m gonna post here.

I used to make escapist “pretty” art, not interesting anymore. During last three years I became a much saltier person.

My dump opinion, it’s better to be a part of China and live their lifes, then get into a half-ass war of attrition like in Ukraine, that is horrific and benefits no one.

Old Russian window platbands, which depict the journey of the sun through the sky and the underworld:
In the underworld, it’s swallowed and released by the serpent.
In the sky, it’s pulled by horses, a theme found in Slavic and Indo-European myths.
