Birthday Bikepacking Trip

A forest service cabin on the USFS rental program surrounded by a grassy area in the foreground, then a forest of lodgepole pine in the background. The cabin in located on the Kootenai National Forest in NW Montana. My bicycle is leaning against the cabin in the porch.

I rode 76 miles out to this cabin last weekend for my birthday. This is Fairview Ranger Station in one of the lesser traveled areas of NW Montana. The route takes ALL the backroads to get here and back and has somewhat of a railroad theme, including following the bits and pieces of original alignment of the Great Northern RR, now converted to rails to trails and just actual roads. Day 2 was 84 mi and mirrors a good part of the later/current realignment, as well as following the Old Fort Steele Trail, which is a pretty rough and tumble jeep track. I'm happy to say that I'm still able to pull off this overly ambitious route at 54, although I'm definitely still feeling it mid-week.

A Lord of the Rings meme. Galadriel says, "You have seen Sauron." Frodo replies, "Yes." They each look at each other silently, then Galadriel says, "He's weirdly sexy, right?" and Frodo responds, "Oh my god. Thank you. Yes. I thought I was the only one."

When I was young I used to love these magazines from second-tier publishers or for professional specialties because the covers were always fascinating to stare at. Then I'd open them up and the contents were usually bollocks to a little kid who could barely read. Still ended up setting me on my life's path, though.
ffg pro Yesterday
Oh man, this is so good
owl Yesterday
How was an illustration like this accomplished in 1966? Rulers, ink, and color separations, I presume?
ardgedee pro Yesterday
@owl Somewhat.

There are a couple ways to have done it. How I would have done it is to pencil in the drawing on a board, and trace the red and black squared-off lines on two different acetates (one for black, one for red) using precision-width ruling tape, and draw outlines of the remainder with a ruling pen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... and fill them with a brush and ink.

This way there was no original artwork as such, it only existed as a sketch and a couple sheets of plastic with black ink and tape on them. It's how we would have been taught to do it when I was in design school, pre-desktop publishing era.

Now after saying that I've zoomed in on the pic, and it's pretty clearly all drawn by hand and ruler, no tape, on a single board and the printer made their own separations. Which sounds wild to me (way more expensive this way) because the back-cover ad is black-and-white. But who knows what was going on at the time.

Lyons was also a mentee of White, taking many of his lessons to inspire his work as a photographer, curator and educator. He served as curator of photography and an associate director at the George Eastman House before taking the role of editor of Aperture magazine. Lyons enlisted in the air force, serving as a photographer in Korea and the United States. Later, prominent museums began collecting and featuring his images. As a professor he founded the Visual Studies Workshop, a non-profit dedicated to arts education.

false flag operation

A headless person wearing a suit and tie stands in a dark blue space. They are lit yellow from the front, but the light source is not visible. The person is holding out a spray can, spraying neon green paint. Above the person, where their head would be, is a giant spray painted face, hovering in the air. The face is rough and spray-painted, rendered in shades of white, yellow, blue, and neon green. It is barely an emoji, with two round, staring eyes and a wide toothy mouth. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
