Tomorrow I'm going to try to draw Kelvin-Heimholtz clouds which are the most trippy and insane weather formations that look like fractal waves.

These things break my brain, like, the physics behind them is so simple and yet WOW happens with them...

The Karman Vortex Street is the pattern of oscillating turbulence formed by a flow of wind or fluid over a stable object.

That is BEAUTIFUL work!!! It really evokes nature. I like the one with the rain in it.

Thanks, glad you are enjoying them. I love rain, I should probably try to draw it more often.

yeah they're all awesome, you should publish this

wow @ the kelvin-heimholtz gif, hypnotised
love the cymru painting - love how it turns something so solid in the stone into a building that's so crooked and unstable-seeming that it could be made out of bits of wood...

Orkney is full of mountains and sea lochs and megaliths and sea arches and I think I love it here, with its misty purple islands lurking in the background.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THESE LIGHTHOUSES.

(Also I drew the most amazing sea arch yesterday but I do not have a scanner up here.)

Zowie! Is that some sort of Bridget Riley installation?

It's PS1, so who knows.

I think that's my new inspiration for interior decor

Well I don't often find them at the thrift store, I'll say that.
― The Most Typical and Popular Girl Rider (Crabbits), Monday, 1 October 2012 17:02 (eleven years ago) link
They're apparently two for a penny in the thrift stores of Cornwall.

Can I show you my favorite wacky psychedelic piece of bs I found at a thrift store? It's this embroidered flower tiger, hidden under plexiglass

Wow, that tiger, too, he is trapped in my dreams.

I like that pic var 2: liked it when it was b+w, now the colours suit it yeah!

and now my phone has stopped crashing...
not the last one, obv, the cliffside one, you know
― Mark G, Monday, 1 October 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
I'm confused.
But here, have a sea arch. Orkney has a sea arch pretty much every 500 yards or so.

I like your new no outlines stuff.
― The Most Typical and Popular Girl Rider (Crabbits), Monday, 1 October 2012 18:13 (eleven years ago) link
It's 100% digital is why no outlines. I kinda miss the thick outlines, I need to scan some of the outliney sketches I did while sitting on sea walls and stuff.

random question for people here who go to art galleries/museums and know a ton about them:
what is the formal name for the info cards that accompany photos/paintings/sculptures/whatever?
i need to find an standard or example of one for a project i'm doing, if anyone could hook up a photo i'd be very grateful.
― Raymond Cummings, Monday, 3 December 2012 02:47 (eleven years ago) link
I think they're called placards. I called up a museum once hoping they'd tell me how to make them properly but they said they just did whatever on foamcore. This was one of the MOMAs.
― Philip Nunez, Monday, 3 December 2012 06:20 (eleven years ago) link
So I did a book cover! For an exciting Science book about the physics of foam.
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Foam-2-0-Cappuccino-Cosmos-ebook/dp/B00SE2JR64/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421595707&sr=8-2&keywords=perkowitz&pebp=1421595716668&peasin=B00SE2JR64
(it's funny that this is being published before mine own book, but there it is.)
We're contemplating doing an A4 poster of the cover artwork (with the text more the way I normally do text) if I can work out how to sell it online. Would anyone at all be interested in buying such a thing if we did one? (Or, better yet, does anyone have any experience good or bad with the myriad ways there are of selling posters / artwork online?)
― Branwell with an N, Saturday, 24 January 2015 08:11 (nine years ago) link
ahhh that is great! I would buy a poster.
― example (crüt), Saturday, 24 January 2015 08:31 (nine years ago) link
lovely... congrats, branwell! I too would buy a poster. (I secretly want posters of a lot of your artwork tbh.)
― Roz, Saturday, 24 January 2015 09:38 (nine years ago) link
nice work.
― Sounds like a forks display name (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 24 January 2015 10:20 (nine years ago) link
Thank you! Thank you! I'm v v pleased with how it turned out. :)
I will see what I can do in terms of getting a poster done, and update this thread with details when we have them.
