Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

I got a couple cheap little pilot fountain pens to mess around with in a couple nib sizes. I'd like to get better and handwriting but I think I'm hopeless. I might just need to find a nice print style to emulate.

A partially-finished illustration on the side of a brown clay mug. There are outlines of mushroom and a fully painted frog who looks a little out of it

Same mug situation, but this time the frog is inspired by a grumpy little rain frog

Picture of a large black dog doing a nice sit, except the color space of the image has been reduced from 255 * 255 * 255 colors to just 4 * 4 * 4 colors.

I have quantized my dog. Pray I do not quantize him any further.

I’m enjoying reading all the posts from people doing the β€œmy 9 games” thing. It’s fun seeing what games people feel were the most influential for them.
