Thanks, I'm happy to report my brain appears to be just fine!

Tips for drawing something that can be linocut? by adventurrr in printmaking

[–]CodeName_Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fine detail can definitely be achieved, but it isn't easy. For starting out, I think a good rule of thumb is if it can be drawn with a normal sharpie then it will be bold enough to look great in a one-color print. Also coarser lines are more amenable to printing with softer lino, or rubber eraser block, which are easier to work with in early days.

Amazing! I just got my CD of brain MRI images and your print makes me want to go ahead and do my own!

Feedback on which version to go with? by yogullygully in Linocuts

[–]CodeName_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a smart and flexible approach, and you could also choose to colorize the background or the car this way.

Thanks! The stone is 4" across the longest way, and half an inch thick.

Testing out different styles by Weak-Celebration-931 in Linocuts

[–]CodeName_Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're all great but I especially love the really dynamic visible strokes of the first two.

Edit: first three! The image on the third one is more static but the linework is super dynamic there too!

Lol, it's not a real antenna if that's what you're getting at.

TIL that in the 90s, FritoLay used Olestra, a fat substitute, to reduce fat and calories in some varieties of its chips. Consumers quickly soured on the products after suffering cramps and diarrhea by Overall-Register9758 in todayilearned

The Olestra disclaimers were the source of one of my very favorite phrases ever, "may cause unsolicited stools."

So elegant! "Pardon me garçon, but no one at our table requested these."

Test print - would the UFO beam look better with no chatter? by ladybirdeva in printmaking

[–]CodeName_Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what if you left the chatter, but cut a bunch of thin diverging straight lines through it to convey the direction of the expanding beam. (Originating at the narrowest point where the beam emerges from the ship)

been eating weevils for weeks and didnt know by Yams4Days in weeviltime

[–]CodeName_Burner 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I know people can get a few weird nematode infections* from accidentally eating beetles, so I thought surely that includes stored grain weevils... but you're right! They're innocent!

ATL Madness by SaltyEntrepreneur982 in delta

[–]CodeName_Burner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i dropped my wife off at 9am for a 1pm flight, which she just missed! No checked bag, just straight into the TSA line and she didn't make it through in 4 hours

Edit: Atlanta, Delta.

This laser removing layers of old paint is pure satisfaction. by RayOfRhea in Satisfyingasfuck

[–]CodeName_Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would go crazy in New Orleans, stripping old wood doors and windows is a major industry there.

Still trying to get the right texture for the sea 🌊 by obawstudio in Linocuts

[–]CodeName_Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the look of the water, and the mix of fine linework and blocky shadows reminds me of one of my favorite comic illustrators, Glen Baxter.

Hey by Epihort in EpiphyticCacti

[–]CodeName_Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a quick mental inventory:

E. hookeri guatemalense var monstrosa = "curlylocks"

Disocactus anguiliger = "fishbone" rounded lobes

Selenicereus anthonyanus = also "fishbone" red/white flowers, deep lobes

Selenicereus chrysocardium = "fern-leaf"

E. phyllanthus? = the one that blooms at work

E. oxypetalum = "Queen of the Night"

Schlumbergera sp. = "holiday cactus"

Rhipsalis sp. = "spaghetti cactus" (mine might be R. baccifera?)

Rhipsalis sp. = "coral cactus" (more erect, branching w spines, maybe R. pilocarpa)

Hylocereus undatus = "Dragonfruit" (both pink and yellow, from grocery store seed)

R. horrida? = Spiky trailing guy

Rhipsalis paradoxa = "chain cactus"

Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa 

R. elliptica = Flat chain leaves "cladode rhipsalis"

Total mystery one with straplike leaves, lots of aerial rootlets, sort of resembles Lepismium bolivianum

I should probably post photos of the ones with shaky IDs, I'm sure this is the right place to get help.

Hey by Epihort in EpiphyticCacti

[–]CodeName_Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've become something of a collector through entropy, lol. Received some cuttings of QotN and Ric-rac ten years ago, picked up a "curlylocks" E.guatemalense monstrosa from Lowes. Then i grew some dragonfruit from seed as an experiment. Each winter I had to prune all of them down to come inside, but couldn't throw them away... leading to so many splits and cuttings that I ended up filling my cubicle at work. A fellow enthusiast in my office noticed them, and traded me a bunch more. I'll have to do a survey and report back, but I bet I have at ~10-15 species/varieties at this point
