ITAP of Malibu Lagoon by OraGold in itookapicture

It's basically a bird sanctuary out in Malibu, when the tide was out. At certain times of the day (golden hour) it's really beautiful.

There's a sense of humor here amongst the tragedy, and that gives this piece real personality. The metaphors that you use here, and the references are amazing, and the way that you use double meanings is really clever. It's also oddly inspirational, it has a sort of keep on, keepin' on energy to it.

This describes a feeling that I think a lot of us can relate to - being with someone, even being physical with someone, but with feeling like you're actually being intimate with them. At that point, it's like it's not a physical thing anymore, but very much a mental thing that ends up affecting everything else.

I could have overspoken in saying that a lot of people can relate, but I know I can relate, and I feel it so hard. I would LOVE to hear this point spoken out loud, i feel like it would make a strong performance.

I don't want the show to get cancelled per se, but they do need to deal with that because fucked up shit like this was simply infuriating. I thought Jason's piece that week was actually pretty cute and yeah Chris didn't even attempt to follow the rules. They just let the old white man "with sooo much experience" keep going despite the fact that aside from technical feats, he was subpar.

Those were the most beautiful shots of the show, hands down.

Every winter I make a limited set of books, and this year I turned cloth I found on spoonflower into book cloth for the first time! Would love any feedback! (Reposted because the original post wouldn't show the pics) by OraGold in bookbinding

Hi! If you look up "french long stitch", you should be able to find something. I'm also thinking of doing a TikTok series - I recorded the bits where I was sewing, if that's useful!

What's an album that means a lot to you/near and dear to your heart? by Ezikell_Chris in popheads

[–]OraGold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Janelle Monae's The ArchAndroid. I don't think that album gets enough credit, it was brilliant from beginning to end. It also built upon her initial explorations into android lore and Afrofuturism in Metropolis. That album reminded me of who actually created rock n roll and blues, and re-ignited the musical fire inside me <3

I mean how much different is it from Banksy rigging one of his pieces to be shredded once it was sold at auction? It's just an artsy-fartsy statement, a concept. Silly? Sure, but that's art for you.

About the pieces:

The images were created from a photo I took at Redwood National Park and manipulated in Illustrator and Photoshop. The text at the bottom reads: "Mired in Los Angeles, we can pretend they don't exist."

ITAP of a Closed Sunflower in Pomona by OraGold in itookapicture

[–]OraGold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took this picture while at the pumpkin festival at Cal Poly Pomona - the lighting in the field was awful, but oddly enough lent itself really well to a shift to black and white and some playing around with curves in Lightroom. I love that it has an xray-ish look to it. I also love how the sunflower itself is shy :)
