We live in an era of incredible media. You can ask someone if the thing you want exists. Chances are it does. Or you can make it (booooooooo).

I really am rather fond of Corydon Bell’s cover for a 1937 edition of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”.

Not only is illustration art, WSJ has artfully illustrated that no matter how rich you get, you’ll never be accepted in old money circles. They think they make culture. We all do, for better and worse.

The hardest part about recreating Pepper’s Ghost (aka Dircksian Phantasmagoria) in a comic book and visually explaining how it worked was convincing comics readers to purposely crease the page. Art by @jordancollver.bsky.social

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Carol St. Clair Johnson
born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

And please, I mean this, just share it. I don't expect YOU to donate. We're all broke. But maybe someone will. This is for Marsha, and The Professor, who is running this page even though she doesn't know anything about computers. God bless them. They believe in God, so maybe they're right. Who knows

I'd like to give a posthumous thank you to my good friend, @axleblaze.bsky.social. I knew him for years, all the way back when Something Awful mattered. He died really soon after telling me he was so glad I lived. And I didn't get to thank him. Thank your friends, for Axleblaze from Something Awful

Any mapping is necessarily a kind of flattening, distortions happen, information lost. "Not even the most expansive mapping can convey everything" or, to quote Alfred Korzybski, "the map is not the territory"

excerpt from a page in Unflattening - upper part shows the globe encircled (like the Daily Planet) with the letters Circumnavigation. this casts a shadow on a flat map - the mercator project of the globe. Discussion of the distortions that happen when you go from 3 dimensions to two - information lost and connections severed. Below this is a similar arrangement, an icosahedron instead of a globe, and then a map made by unfolding that icosahedron. This is Buckminster Fuller's dymaxion map. It preserves area in ways the mercator could not, and it also shows connections where the mercator showed divisions. That said, it's not super clear for how you travel across the globe...

Re: Brubaker, Ellis, etc. Good work is good work. I don't feel duped for having bought and enjoyed good stories. HOWEVER, good work is not unique. And let it be known that producing good work does not allow for bad behavior. It is also not a shield that will prevent someone from kicking your ass.

GARFIELD PRINT ON THE WALL, BETWEEN CURTAINS THAT KINDA LOOK LIKE THE RED ROOM/BLACK LODGE CURTAINS FROM "TWIN PEAKS" WHICH IS PRETTY COOL, AM I RIGHT?
