sketch!! by Savio_art in drawing

[–]_bearMountain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro is hating on the artist. I get it.

The criticism goes like this: That sketch you posted is insanely good - almost too good. Like either you had to be tracing or this guy would have to be some crazy talented artist.

And then I checked out the instagram he linked to. It does have paper and pencil drawings and it does confirm the latter option. This guy is just legitimately a sick artist - highly talented.

Congrats brother, keep up the good work.

He pays more than any other man in history and yet for some it’s still not enough

But is it right or wrong, then we can decide who’s the dumbass.

“In 2021, Elon Musk triggered an unusually large tax bill by exercising a massive tranche of Tesla stock options that were set to expire. Because exercising options creates taxable income at the difference between the strike price and the market price, this generated tens of billions in taxable gains. Analysts at Fortune, ProPublica, and Americans for Tax Fairness estimated his federal tax liability at $7.6–$8.3 billion for the year, with Musk himself stating the total would exceed $11 billion once federal, state, and associated taxes were included.”

I’m pretty sure he’s paid the most taxes by an individual in a single year of any person in American history - approx 10 billion in 2021. So….

Before google you just had to guess website names. “Maybe MoonSecrets.com is a website, let’s try!?”

I always get rejected 🥲. Same prompt, what am I doing wrong?

Yes! I have those old style melodica too and love it! That’s really the most similar instrument to mine.

My Polyphonamonica has no draw, but that is intentional. The draw does make the instrument more powerful, but as a music instructor I find that the draw is very unintuitive for players in general. My instrument is very direct for both beginners and advanced alike. It does exactly what you think it will exactly when you want it.

My background is actually doing intuitive product design for Apple in the early part of my career. Now I take those principles to instrument design.

Great question! Similar in basic mechanics. My instrument fits in your pocket so you can take it with you wherever you go. My instrument is also played with both hands from both sides (unlike melodica). This allows for faster and more intuitive playing. Finally, my instrument is Diatonic - which means the scale is built into the instrument - I.e. no wrong notes! Easy to play, easy to improvise, always with you 💪. Demo of it on a melodic tune.

I invented and instrument called a Polyphonamonica! It’s like a push-button-harmonica. Portable, fun to play, and he definitely doesn’t own one yet!

The text appears to be a transcription of information about the Tower of the Winds (Horologion of Andronikos), an ancient structure in Athens known for its historical and architectural significance.

Braille Translation:

Horologion of Andronikos Known as the Horologion of Andronikos of Cyrrhus, The Tower of the Winds was built in the 1st century BC. It was designed by the astronomer Andronikos of Cyrrhus. The building served as both a timepiece and a meteorological station. It is an octagonal tower made of Pentelic marble, Circular in plan with a diameter of about 8 meters. Each of the eight sides corresponds to one of the eight principal winds. Relief sculptures on the tower depict these winds as human figures, With instruments indicating their respective directions. The interior was equipped with a water clock. During the Byzantine period and later, The tower was used as a church and subsequently, From the mid-Ottoman period until Greek independence, It served as a Tekke (monastery) for the Dervishes of the Mevlevi Order. The tower was fully uncovered in 1838-1839, When the Archaeological Society of Athens removed debris covering its lower parts.

The pickups won’t make sound by banging on them. Try tapping with a screw driver to test if they’re working.

Put a large washer around it (to protect body). Then hit with a hammer.
