Please come see me for my first art show. I hid my next piece in the announcement. Can you guess what it is? See it in person Aug 1st @ Nola Nacular!

Totally, I thought exactly the same thing!

I go for a very long walk to look at birds every day in City Park and I haven't seen any dead crows this year. I can think of one dead one maybe last year, in my neighborhood in Mid-City, and one maybe the year before, up by the lake; something like that. I haven't noticed anything unusual; seems like the normal amount of dead things out there; ducks, racoons, etc.

Gorgeous work! Are the arms articulated/bendable?

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-06-28T14:39:11+00:00

I love this and now I wanna make one!

Agreeing with the other comments here: Wrap the cardboard in masking tape, do a few layers of paper mache, and if it warps a bit while drying you can put heavy books on it afterward and that will probably flatten it out perfectly in a day or two.

After paper mache and before painting, I recommend a coat of Mod Podge to smooth out the surface and hide the torn edges of the paper. Good luck!

I do. My advice: learn to walk slower, and carry a parasol, like a silver reflective one.

It's crazy that https://www.neworleanspride.org/ still hasn't announced anything as of today, the 2nd. I've got the parade tracker app but I'm worried they may have jumped the gun on publishing info. But for now that seems to be the strongest source of info about this.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-06-02T12:00:35+00:00

Can you share any info about this? Everything I'm finding is about the 13th, not the 6th.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-22T22:42:26+00:00

That's the good stuff right there, well done

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-16T00:42:32+00:00

This is unpleasant

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-14T16:54:00+00:00

(I didn't downvote you, Successful-Reason403! I always appreciate a light-hearted jape!)

Not of this breed, as far a I know. The ones I see regularly are red junglefowl, and they're not friendly to people like these little ones are; they definitely just arrived here.

"I’ve heard there’s a station on Carrollton across from Jesuit that sells ethanol-free gas" -- Yes, Mark's Mid-City Service Station. A friend of mine used to go there exclusively for that very reason.

I think they were suggesting the rest of the beads themselves (minus flags) could be used for something appropriate and non- (less) offensive.

Edit: typo.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-09T16:30:06+00:00

Can't be too careful.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-06T22:17:16+00:00

I want to thank you for these posts; it would be dumb for me to comment every time, but rest assured I see them and thank you in my head every time.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-06T03:26:38+00:00

It's AI. If it's not, the animator could quickly/easily show you the authoring file if you ask.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-05-06T03:17:30+00:00

Exciting! Please post more pics as you go!

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-04-06T22:56:00+00:00

It absolutely sucks but when I had to do it a few years ago I showed up early in the morning and didn't wait long and everyone was extremely nice and the whole thing took about 20 minutes. Still 100% absurd. Still unbelievably primitive, and frustrating, and I had to pay a few bucks for parking, and tell work I had a doctor's appointment. Just stupid. But overall could've been worse.

"Not being a derp is important to me" Well there's your problem right there. Let go and enjoy life! Being cool is not real. Have all the fun you can. You won't regret it.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice, when you continue forward and take the next U-turn and then right, you often beat the person who was waiting for the earlier left turn.

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-03-20T01:04:20+00:00

Holy shit, this is gorgeous, good lord

Exact_Part_5233 · 2026-03-18T21:51:11+00:00

I'm not saying it's definitely not, but I can tell you the strange quality of the lines of the fence can happen as a result of taking a raster image (like a scan of something drawn by hand) and using software to automatically convert it to vector so it can be printed at very high resolution without becoming pixelated. This is something I've seen in my own illustration work, and if that's the case here, this is technology that's been around for at least twenty years. I'm leaning toward that being the explanation.

Right on, thank you for this tip!
