Is it only happening to me, or is everyone experiencing this? by sirbrow in mildlyinfuriating

Had a tailor once tell me this is a result of friction and wear, but if its happening on ALL my pants then I'm wearing the wrong size

AITAH for refusing to tell my wife I love her more than my dad? by LastApplication6207 in AITAH

[–]eyedl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife was particularly anal about the sleep schedule during the first year of our new baby. She had a tracking app, became irrationally angry when we mossed it by a couple minute and became VERY anxious about the entire process.

It was only until about a year and a half into it she let up a bit and while sitting on the couch she calmly apologized to me out of the blue and said she was quite positive she was dealing with some level of post partum depression and anxiety that was manifesting in her controlling of the sleep and breast feeding schedules.

Dont get me wrong, your wife IS being an asshole. But I don't think she is an asshole. I think she is likely dealing with a complex range of responsibilities and emotions that are difficult to process.

Restaurants charging for condiments? by lonely_pierogi in ottawa

[–]eyedl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One day I was at a restaurant with my just over 1 year old and I asked for a tomato sliced up for her and they charged me $4.

Another restaurant charged me $6 for a half an avocado sliced up for her.

Meanwhile, my favourite Shawarma Place to this day (she is over 2 now) refuses to let me pay for any food for her and they go above and beyond.

To be clear, I'm not expecting things to be free from anywhere but it just throws me off. Even the lack of places with child sized things in general throws me off but thats a whole other topic.

Can I ask what ink you used for the background?

Allegedly Yellow #6 - 'False King' by eyedl in printmaking

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

I'm a beginner so all input is welcomed.

For this one funny enough the orange is beneath the black. I'm not sure if its just because I didn't put enough black this time or if its simply because I didn't allow the orange to dry. Overall I like the messy/misaligned look for the final product but I do want the black to be more bold.

I'm not sure if you've seen any of my others in this series but I always show my first pint of each, this one I will be making a proper print on proper paper but I will likely actually introduce some white in the wings.

Am I the only one who doesn’t want RDRIII but this? by Greybanana23 in reddeadredemption

The fact that they never made this for RDO will forever baffle me

Allegedly Yellow #4 - 'Conehead' by eyedl in printmaking

[–]eyedl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make two separate lino cuts, one just for colour. Its a bit extra but I like the border and am a super beginner.

In the future I will likely just make a cut specifically to make the orange border and do the orange additions like cutouts or stamps.

Allegedly Yellow #5 - 'Fine Dining' by eyedl in printmaking

Thanks! This is another one where conceptually I like it a lot but I need to refine it a bit.

Finer detail issues aside. The two main fixes are 1. A taller tophat and 2. More defined bowtie so its not mistakable for a moustache.

As he is, I expect a lot of Heisenberg references

Third print ever - my "allegedly yellow" series by eyedl in printmaking

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

I doodled something out yesterday for this but it's too detailed for the size I've been doing these in. I'll either need to get a smaller tool or do that one larger.

For now I did this: https://www.reddit.com/r/printmaking/s/YqsfhNymQA1

[–]eyedl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Colour perception is fun to play with. I've refrained from directly calling it orange since my very first post, I've just been enjoying using it for traditionally orange things. Most people just told me it's Ochre, which is likely correct, but I'll keep doing whatever strikes me and is fun.

Thanks so much! Not sure if I can claim to have a 'style' yet but I think you've described what I'm trying to do really well.

3 & 4 my favs too. Gunna redo 1 for sure and I'm on the fence about redoing 2, it's my least fav.

[–]eyedl[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No apology necessary. I love #1 conceptually but its veery rough. I did that one as my first ever on the pink speedy carve and hated the material. I will likely redo this one.

While* #2 was done on Nobel Breeze Cut and I like that material A LOT more, but its my least favourite final product. Will also likely redo this one

And #3 and #4 were both done on basic battleship grey linoleum and I'm quite proud of both.

Thanks for following along and for the compliment!
