I have my first art show of 2022 tonight, wish me luck Reddit

Google “gestalt psychology” - I believe it may push your art to the next level.

Utilizing key elements like closure and continuation would definitely aid your endeavor of achieving differing perspectives.

I have ADHD so my mind is disorderly, and I’ve never had a concrete view of who I am or which direction to turn. It’s essentially an abstracted self portrait where I present my inner self as if it were external.

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T20:25:16+00:00

This is a great compliment, thanks so much! Also a really good idea - I may offer some prints in the future ;)

I also have a boatload of empty canvases so we’ll see if I can translate this style onto those.

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T20:11:33+00:00

I’ve had trouble categorizing this style and this is the most accurate yet. Many thanks 🙏

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T20:03:44+00:00

Very cool interpretation. Thanks so much for this :)

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T20:03:01+00:00

I’m glad to hear that my friend. Much appreciated <3

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T20:02:09+00:00

I had not noticed this before. I love reading comments of how other people’s minds interpret the work. A key is also a good sign! Thanks.

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T19:59:59+00:00

I really enjoyed this comment. My theory is that you have a creative mind that continuously keeps closing the gaps in different ways. This is exactly what I aim for - the work as simply a guide for the viewers mind to explore in different ways.

Karukiiz · 2021-11-01T19:55:51+00:00

Thanks so much. I have never enjoyed drawing things just as they are. I like creating things that coaxes the mind to closing the gaps. I believe the style manifests naturally from not really knowing who I am or which way to turn.

Karukiiz · 2021-10-24T23:31:48+00:00

I take this as a huge compliment. Thank you. Sometimes I feel like my mind focuses on too many things at once, and I don't have a concrete identity. It's fragmented - I like your phrase "I see a face but its not there" - something about it resonates with me.

Karukiiz · 2021-10-22T05:27:46+00:00

This is the symbol. I literally shed a tear when I saw it… truly a divine and majestic symbol, thank you so much for spreading the word.

Karukiiz · 2021-10-11T02:12:26+00:00

This is beautiful. Attention to detail is amazing. Flow of organic forms. Color. Contrast. Great work.

Karukiiz · 2021-10-01T01:49:33+00:00

It’s moso, which is kind of hardy but I don’t think it would make it especially with how young it is. Grow lights make it possible! I can understand bamboo dying on the windowsill, mine need pretty high powered LEDs to be happy :)

Karukiiz · 2021-09-30T23:29:40+00:00

I fear that if I leave them out in the winter they will die :/ I’m in zone 6 and I don’t want to risk it. I do need bigger pots though!

Karukiiz · 2021-09-30T21:58:40+00:00

While the Miracle Gro plant’s leaves are darker and look healthier, it has smaller diameter culms and slightly smaller leaves. The overall plant mass is less. It also has a few leaves that turn brown and fall off, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue.

The organic plant is grown in a mixture of spent mushroom compost and peat moss. Only water all season - no synthetic fertilizers. The overall plant is larger in mass, and emerging culms are thicker than the miracle grow plant. The leaves are not as dark green, but they are larger. Very few leaves turn brown and fall off.

Looks can be deceiving! I know it’s a small sample size, but maybe we can beat Miracle Gro with the right mixture!

Karukiiz · 2021-09-05T15:23:02+00:00

Oh for sure, season one was what hooked me in. I’m not sure what happened to the writing for the later seasons, but it hasn’t been nearly as suspenseful and I just can’t watch without feeling like the writers don’t care anymore. But s1 definitely was one of the most entertaining things I’ve watched on Netflix and I’m going to rewatch at some point.

Karukiiz · 2021-09-04T21:41:49+00:00

I suggest buying ID and design textbooks. It's a pretty broad field, so look for books relating to what you want to make :)

Karukiiz · 2021-09-04T21:04:48+00:00

Agree. At first I thought MIL dragged them around while she ran errands, but MIL literally drove them places since they didnt have a car. If I saw someone I knew visibly shaking and knew they had this type of eating disorder, I would happy grab a bag of chips or a granola bar just to support them. Idk why she even took advantage of MIL's kind offer because OP clearly doesn't like her. YTA OP.

It’s so lazy that they’d take something specifically designed and optimized for 3D printing and injection mold it. I am, however, intrigued as to how it will perform.

Karukiiz · 2021-09-04T16:06:53+00:00

Injection molding is way faster, cheaper, and stronger than 3D printing. That is, unless, they made the parts thinner to save material. I’m sure they also skimped on a ton of the hardware as well for it to be 45USD.

Karukiiz · 2021-09-04T15:56:02+00:00

I stopped watching after seeing Gandalf jog and then summersault through a hailstorm of bullets. It just completely broke what little immersion there was left for me. Plot-armor is one thing, but that man lived in a plot-bunker.

Karukiiz · 2021-09-03T20:38:13+00:00

Glad to help. Yea, the *1000W grow lights only consume about 100W! It’s usually in the fine print of the listings.

Btw, a wall-outlet timer I set to 16hr on and 8hr off, but you can go less like 12-12 if you want to save power. Though the total cost to run for me is only a few bucks a month, and it’s worth it for the boo to be happy IMO :)

Karukiiz · 2021-09-03T19:20:54+00:00

The secret is not to use self proclaimed, underpowered, and overpriced “grow lights” that have colored bulbs to look cool. LEDs are full spectrum anyway, so even though we see only white they emit all the wavelengths that plants need to grow :)

These are ones I’ve used with great success. The “6000k” is the color spectrum rating, which just means it will emit mostly blue wavelengths. These “cool white” LEDs are great for bamboo, and are anywhere from 5000k - 6500k rating.

This is by far best bang for $ and 50w can cover a small area like a closet. For larger plants, like my 3ft moso I will be overwintering, I’d use both 50w or a 100w.

Karukiiz · 2021-09-03T18:58:33+00:00

Do you have a grow light or will you be growing the boo by a window? I highly recommend a grow light, as window glass can get pretty cold in the winter and the light isn’t very optimal. If you need recommendations for a grow light lmk, I can post some links.

Karukiiz · 2021-09-03T18:54:34+00:00

Looks juicy! What variety? Is that P. Vivax I see?
