some very *mature* snickering over here, if you know what I mean. And I think you do.
(If not, I mean Im mature, as in age, and I snickered, because I'm a litte randy)

[Personal] Magnolias for my ex
alt text
Watercolour of pink magnolias on a dark purple background.
Last September, I met at a woman through a dating site. On the first zoom call she told me that a week before we met up she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and that I was allowed to run away.
Now I don't run away from stuff like that, and we very very quickly got into a very intense relationship. One month in, she started chemotherapy and things went downhill between the two of us. We split up in December. It wasn't very nice. She now has finished chemo, had one breast removed and is recovering - although it's officially stage four so the long-term prognosis isn't good.
But we stayed in touch, albeit at a distance. Tomorrow I'll be seeing her for the first time in months. I'm having lunch with her, together with a good mutual friend. The friend asked me if I would make a drawing for my ex so we could give it to her with a message. So this is what we're going to give her tomorrow. (top and bottom edge cut off so it's really straight and kind of nice at double postcard size.)

That’s gorgeous.
good luck; i hope it goes well.
i know it's tough navigating these things, especially when you're balancing empathy for an ex and protecting yourself at the same time.
beautiful work, by the way. i think she'll really appreciate it

less efficient machines

A four-panel Calvin and Hobbes comic strip from 1995. Calvin's dad sits at his home computer and says, "It used to be that if a client wanted something done in a week, it was considered a rush job, and he'd be lucky to get it. Now, with modems, faxes, and car phones, everybody wants everything instantly! Improved technology just increases expectations. These machines don't make life easier - they make life more harassed." In the last panel, Calvin is depicted holding a box and says, "Six minutes to microwave this?? Who's got that kind of time?!" His dad then says, "If we wanted more leisure, we'd invent machines that do things _less_ efficiently."

A.I. "I can help with that!"
People tend to get the point being made here, but don't realize that the position that AI is going to push us all into involuntary leisure is inconsistent with it.

A stylized illustration of a poster for The Big Lebowski. The top and bottom suggest it is a rug. Center is The Dude dancing in his robe with his White Russian listening to head phones. Around him is a pattern of viking helmets and bowling pins. At the top and bottom are squares of relevant things to the movie such as a toe, shades, bowling ball, and a ferret.
I ~love~ Pam Wishbow's work. Currently mourning the unavailability of this poster.

Movie poster: "Marihuana: Weed with Roots in Hell". "Daring drug expose / Shame horror despair / Weed with Roots in Hell / Smoke that gets in youth's eyes / What happens at Marihuana parties / Weird Orgies Wild Parties Unleashed Passion". At the top, a doctor is shooting up a smiling blonde woman who is wearing a very low-cut housecoat or bathrobe.

mcgarry turns his lead, looking confused and says "eh?"
panel 2:
the bottle excitedly says "by THC i mean "Typically Hot Coffee", because it's CBD- Cold Brew Day!" as the cartoonist looks confused.
panel 3:
mcgarry, stroking his chin and considering, says: "will i still feel jittery and paranoid?"
panel 4:
the coffee excitedly responds: "yes."
mcgarry: "GREAT!"

A Sunday Nancy comic by Caroline Cash.

PANEL 2: MAN: Well… Er… Sluggo, was it? You need at least two years of work experience to get a job here.
PANEL 3: SLUGGO (cheerfully): How do I get that? MAN (off-panel): By working a job like this one.

PANEL 5: Sluggo frowns.
PANEL 6: Sluggo is sitting under a tree in a field of flowers, watching the sunset, still looking grumpy.

It always has been in its way.
I haven't been following and missed that Olivia Jaimes retired from the strip last year, good to see Caroline is continuing the high quality
@wjcstp People seem to think that Jaimes maybe published a book under her real name (which I've already forgotten) and no longer had time to do the comic.

A color illustration by Moebius. It shows a nighttime landscape. In the middle is a tree and a sitting person beneath it, sleeping. A spherical hovercraft is sitting on the ground nearby.

Me in shades
My favorite glasses are too big. And my progressive prescription is way to intense, to allow for good tintig options or conventional clip-ons, so I'm designing my own. This is fourth or fifth version
Nice image with the reflections.

@artwells I'm up to playtest if you're looking for anyone. I have both a frustration with sunglasses v. normal glasses and lot of daytime free time as of a bit ago.

Creepers du jour

A pair of legs and feet shot from above but sat down. The shoes are red velvet pointer creepers with blue and purple striped socks.
Jeepers peepers, where’d you get those creepers?

I met Rien Poortvliet, the Dutch artist who painted this, once (he was a friend of my foster family) and he was pretty strange.
@mare I disliked him, for multiple reasons. But my God, could he paint. I've seen a couple of his originals and more than any artist I have ever seen, the colour he used were so reproducible and exactly within the range of printed media that you could not see the difference between reproduction and original art artwork. Unless you came really, really close.

I photographed this couple while documenting the coast. I love tiny printers and often carry one with me when I'm out shooting. I still consider printed photos pretty special. I quickly printed two copies for them while they were getting ready to leave.
If a photographer printed a photo of me or my family out in the wild I can only imagine it would just be the most delightful feeling!
Bicycle Day

Photo of a sheet of blotter acid with a low-res picture of Albert Hoffman in vibrant pink. "Father of LSD / Pure / ALBERT HOFFMAN".
source: https://blotterartart.wordpress.com
"This photo shows 20 hits of a very popular sheet from 1984, these 20 hits coming from a larger 1000 tab sheet."
On this day in 1943, Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman had a very unsettling bicycle ride home from work.

I may, or may not, remember that blotter.
