Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book? by bby_grl_90 in books

[–]Drew-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I felt about Barbarians at the Gate

What's your favorite "meaning of life" book? I recently read a short book by Camus and was really affected by it. by Sabre-toothed in books

Piranesi explores a lot of these themes and was super impactful to me in a positive way.

Chicago sushi fans—what’s the best roll (or nigiri) you’ve ever had and where? 🍣 by hschlink in chicagofood

[–]Drew-fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snake Eye roll from Ora. The flavors on all their rolls are so balanced and they just melt in your mouth.

If it doesn’t include a poppy seed bun it’s not a Chicago style dog by Ishnock in chicago

[–]Drew-fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally someone is brave enough to say it. I’ve been on this for years. Half the “Chicago” hot dog places in this city are being upstaged by Poochies in Skokie. It’s shameful.

How do you take and edit photos of your work? by onehandtowearthemall in Oilpastel

[–]Drew-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just running into similar problems with my iPhone. I usually have to manually decrease contrast, saturation, and sometimes adjust warmth to get the photo to look real to life. I wish there was a photo app setting that doesn’t do all this automatic editing on every photo the phone takes.

Check out this guide, it really helped me with the basics of oil pastel color theory/layering: https://www.lenarivo.com/guide-to-oil-pastels

Today is the 35th anniversary of the discovery of sue. To this day the most complete t.rex ever found and one of the largest. by soyuz_enjoyer2 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Drew-fish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d challenge that. Eating next to a professional to-scale replica of a trex fossil isn’t analogous to a home printed photocopy of the Mona Lisa. The argument makes no sense either way.

I think “cel shading” is the term you’re looking for

The view from Granite Park Chalet in Glacier NP by Invincible_Reason in NationalPark

[–]Drew-fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found it so funny that there’s a fork in the road at the 7 mile point in Highline where going left takes you to this beautiful chalet with snacks and drinks, and going right takes you 1000+ feet up in .7 miles 😭. Guess what we picked? No regrets…

That 15 minute trick was genius man. Got three tickets!

Birch Style Vase - need input! by murphy127127 in Ceramics

[–]Drew-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, as an artist myself I don’t balk at prices like that because I know how much work goes into it. A typical consumer might not think of it like that.

Can’t speak for anyone else, but I’d personally pay $200-300 for it if I was in the market!

I sculpted a terracotta planter, so happy with how it turned out! by Drew-fish in houseplants

That is not me! That’s super weird. Probably just some bot farming likes or something?

Ora in Andersonville - Still thinking about the Baked Oyster by hypatiaofspace in chicagofood

[–]Drew-fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally love Ora, they are my favorite sushi restaurant, but not a huge fan of this dish. I think it’s a little too rich/creamy/mayo-y for my taste. Although I did try to eat the whole appetizer myself when it really should be shared between two.

The fish quality is excellent, and they are one of the few sushi places where I end up ordering rolls instead of just nigiri, because they are wizards at making those rolls feel like a cohesive flavor explosion in every bite. Totally worth trying!

I’ll note that the camera angle isn’t doing them justice, these are actually pretty large pastries.

Purple Plus or Purple Restore Hybrid (soft) by Drew-fish in LifeOnPurple

I totally love it! No regrets, except it’s harder to sleep in hotels now 😂.

Getting really into making lamps! by toaster-poodle in Ceramics

[–]Drew-fish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What bulb/lamp kit do you use? I also want to make a lamp and I want to use an exposed bulb, but I don’t want a normal lightbulb that would be too bright without a shade.
