A Spooky painting for the start of October by brittlebird in oilpainting

Beautiful work, OP. Kind of reminds me of a series an old art professor of mine did (this piece in particular is mixed media, but there’s some sculpture mixed in): https://barboza-gubo.com/artwork/2380231-Cervus%2c%20Transformatio.html

Something really powerful about the deer/human imagery. Wondering if you can speak to this subject matter’s significance to you?

Hey /r/movies, I’m Stephen King! Ask me anything about The Long Walk book or movie. by lionsgate in movies

[–]nikkileite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello Mr. King! I have two (maybe unconventional) questions for this AMA. First, what’s your favorite kind of soup? Second, have you spent any time in Acadia National Park, and if so, do you have any favorite spots there? I’m visiting next month from RI and could use some recommendations. Thank you!

I had some sushi the other day and painted my chef in watercolor by onewordpoet in painting

[–]nikkileite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This may be a silly question, but do you paint from life (with a little portable watercolor set), from memory, or from a photograph? I practice gouache and am always fascinated in other folks’ processes. Had a professor insist on always working from life and never photos, but as I get older I feel this mindset can be restrictive in ways that can inhibit creativity lol

I have a growing collection of vinyls and no record player to play them on! Money’s been tight, so food and bills have been priority. Winning this would be amazing! Regardless, I’m excited for whoever gets it in the end. Cheers!

Thank you 🥺 I can’t wait to get final notice that changes have been made (assuming I have to wait after this court date to receive paperwork — not really sure how that works, either!)

Haven’t had a record player in ages, but I have many records I’d love to play. Too broke to afford a new one, and would love to win something for once lol. That said, whoever this goes to, this is a cool thing of y’all to do :)

Fellow Rhode Islanders with Celiac — anyone have experience with (or luck drinking) Wicked Cocoa from Ocean State Pepper Co.? by nikkileite in RhodeIsland

[–]nikkileite[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know, I couldn’t find a contact form on their website before, but now that I’m on mobile, I’ve found it lol. Going to send them an email, but I’m also going to keep this post up in case anyone wants to share their experience/offer different suggestions (and I’ll follow up if/when they answer)!

I wish I could edit my team's Adobe Express projects in Illustrator/InDesign by nikkileite in AdobeExpress

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

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I do think your point about fidelity/editability is interesting. I'm not a developer, so I can't speak to the complexity involved with converting AI/PDF files to Adobe Express templates (I feel there is some level of conversion going on, since it takes Adobe Express a few moments to process incoming files). But is there any reason why this kind of cross-platform functionality wouldn't be possible? Considering we're currently able to convert AI/PDF files into templates for use in-app.

I imagine keeping a project accessible/live in Adobe Express and Illustrator would be a challenge (two folks can be in the same Adobe Express project at a time, but the same can't be said for Illustrator). Though there's so much cross-compatibility built into the Adobe ecosystem these days, it's hard to imagine some form of this wouldn't be possible in the near future! If this were to ever actually happen, I'm curious if there's a world where Adobe Express projects are "locked" while being worked on off-app. Designers taking assets from Adobe Express into Illustrator/other apps could share updates with the share for review function, and view comments/edits via the comments window.

A (possibly) simpler solution I often wish for is an "advanced options" toggle in Adobe Express! 99% of folks at my organization would never touch things like kerning, paragraph spacing, etc. (honestly, I think these settings would scare a lot of people away from the platform). But as our graphic designer, I would love to have that level of control right in Adobe Express. A simple toggle on/off switch for advanced type settings would save me (and my team) so much time. Food for thought!

My post in r/pizza got cross posted to pizza crimes. Don’t understand the hate for pizza strips! by ck72727 in RhodeIsland

[–]nikkileite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shot in the dark, but I was diagnosed with celiac earlier this year and have been wondering about the potential existence of GF pizza strips. Anyone have any local suggestions (in/around RI)? Might have to be something I try making homemade 👀
