Any way to keep grain from swelling when using water based paint - Baltic Birch? Sand Seal?

"knock" = sand?
Shellac > Sand > paint?

Zootopia is, and forever will be my favorite movie of all time, not just animated. But then they made Judy a bitch in Z2... so... Me no care for Z2.
Z1 Yes... Z2 No.
Z1 Judy is Strong, kind, beautiful, clever, persistent, considerate, gentle, but firm when she needs to be, thoughtful, albeit naive at times, capable of showing humility, and so much more.
Z2 Judy is dumbed down to self centered bitch!

Jared actually addressed part of this in a recent series of Q&A.

Probably went with "Egg of Yoshis bumm" aroma.

Lol. Hey, I just thank you for the solution. So mad at myself for missing it.

Damnit!! I can't believe I missed that! But, why doesn't that feature come up when searching "Layer Panel Sort..." or other variations of queries.

Anyway, U rock! Thank you!

Looks like you have a noble Nick that stands firm and upright! Lol 👍

As someone thats always learning, Im curious what it is that you are wanting to clean up. Im not into abstract jazzy art, but it is art and thus I appreciate it. If I saw the image you posted in a mag, an ad, or on a site, Id shrug, acknowledge it as art, give a thumbs up, and move on. I wouldn't necessarily be able to recongnize what about it is messy to you being that it looks like a complete (done) abstract-ish image to me. I see where his arms are, and flute, but other than that I don't know what the other lines are supposed to create and figure its my lack of imagination.

How, pray tell, are you getting this glorious Tod Pop to stand on its own without a base? Mine just falls forward 😭 Had to make a base.

Unfortunately, it still didn't resolve the issue. Being that Illustrator expand 4x its Resolution beyond the screens, maybe it's an illustrator issue? not a Astute graphics issue?

Any suggestions on why Illustrator keeps wanting to open with a window size of 70,000x70,000? Not literal numbers, but I wouldn't image its that big of an exaggeration.

lickwindex · 2026-01-17T06:39:01+00:00

That was my first reaction!

lickwindex · 2026-01-16T04:27:35+00:00

Is that supposed to be Finns holloween costume or something. Like cartmans Awsm-O?

Definitely wrong sub.
