The image is an artistic rendering of a bicycle, where two rolls of masking tape exist as the wheels and one of the rules of masking tape has some tape coming out of it, forming the front fork of the bicycle, and the rest of the bicycle is painted in white on a black background.

That's so well done.

Seven plates of different sizes Fotograaf from above. On the plates there’s lots of dried out acrylic and watercolor paint in many Colours.
(Why clean a plate when you can just grab a new one?)

an abstract red and black image that suggests components of a mainframe system
Computer Design Magazine, January 1968. They don't make 'em like this any more.

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.
Oh man, this is so good
How was an illustration like this accomplished in 1966? Rulers, ink, and color separations, I presume?
@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.

a piece of paper on a paint stained wooden board. There's a block print of a chicken's face in profile with a knowing look in dark green. To the right in blue cursive: "well shit"

Looks like there is a cameraman onstage so there may be an official video in the works.
He can use any amp head he wants, and it's Blackstar?
@thelonius Cheap, reliable, roadies are carrying it for him so it doesn't matter that it's a heavy plywood box full of air and maybe 5 cu inch of electronics... So why not?
I believe @Vidiot was there
@thelonius @ardgedee he uses a Blackstar Artisan 100. It has a great reputation and much higher quality than the bulk of their offerings, which are fine and serviceable
Ah shit, Malcom fell off his drum kit again! DAMMIT MALCOM!

Color photo, as from a phone, of a hand touching a whack-a-mole target. It's Catwoman in her black catsuit with helmet and goggles, painted with a grimacing mouth and (weirdly) a black dot on her nose. The Whack-a-Mole machine is black and yellow with a Batman logo visible.
She seems nice….

A color illustration by Moebius. It shows a city during twilight. Both the city and the sky are blue and red/yellow. In the background a series of smoking volcanoes are visible.

Tantuni, "a spicy beef sandwich from the Turkish city of Mersin," learned of and photo snagged here: https://www.leparisien.fr/paris-75... "The unusual cooking surface with its curved center is attracting the attention of passersby on Avenue Simon Bolivar in Paris's 19th arrondissement. The tantuni, the utensil that gives its name to a delicious 'dürüm,' has been causing a sensation among street food enthusiasts for the past few weeks, drawn by the enticing aroma of spices emanating from this Turkish specialty."

Paul Prudhomme Outside Of His Restaurant “K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen”, In New Orleans (1979)
For a period between 1989 and 1990 I was the head chef at a Cajun Creole restaurant (Fat Franks). We did our utmost to produce authentic creole food in a place not exactly known for the cuisine. During that time this man was my guru, I devoured everything on him that I could find from the other side of the globe.
The one issue we had was that at the time Sassafras was illegal in Australia, I believe it can now be imported with a licence, but fortunately a friend of the restaurants owner had smuggled a few jars of Sassafras powder into the country. We kept that stuff in the safe.
I visited New Orleans in 2001, but I had stopped chefing by then and had just graduated Uni as an archaeologist and I barely had enough money for the trip, so much so that when I stood outside his restaurant reading the menu I came to terms with knowing I wouldn't be dining in there this trip. To this day I regret not selling a kidney to do so though.
I miss cooking that food, I also miss eating it. I think I should smash out a gumbo or a jambalaya soon.

Same.
I have never once considered my access to filé powder as a sort of privilege... on the few occasions I couldn't buy it, with a small amount of effort, I could make it... I now know, and I won't take that for granted again.
I’m a roux man myself, but I respect the old ways.
Also, cool on you that you had that trade. Mealtime at your place must be grand.

Roux or file ... smash out something ASAP. We lived in NOLA for most of the 90s, and dined at K-Paul's many times. It was always amazing. I have 2 more comments to follow ... few people to share them with these days.
We took an Australian (from Drouin, Victoria) to K-Pauls' in the late 90s. On the menu that day was ... Something with Hot Fanny Sauce. Once the hysterical laughter subsided, we may have been the only table that night that got the Australian slang translation of that.
New Year's Day, around midnight in the French Quarter, somewhere around Dauphine and Conti, we saw a guy exit a darkened doorway to a private home. He was carrying a bottle of wine in a brown bag, and seemed to be hurrying as he went diagonally across the street in the direction of Burgundy. Difficulty walking. Very large and round. Trimmed beard. We instantly knew who it was. Or was it? We told that story a few years later to a server at K-Paul's. She was dubious, and replied "Chef don't walk." Since then, we have entertained the low probability that it might have been Dom Deluise.
@BooBounder story 1 ... I am also laughing!
story 2, hilarious 😂

Good video. I have about half of those techniques down, but I learned a lot about why they work.
@dapete @BooBounder ooh I did enjoy those consomme methods, spoken as someone who has spent more hours than I care to remember doing it the old school way.
But I gotta say that the staff meal can go and get fucked. A baked potato topped with the meat drained from a stock! What is this... the depression years?

A photo of a giant puppet loon head. The bird puppet has a glowing red eye and looks ready to fight.
One of many amazing puppets at this year's Mayday parade in Minneapolis. This loon puppet was about 20' tall, could flap its wings, and made noise.
If you want to see it in action: https://bsky.app/profile...
That’s no loon.
I missed the parade, but did see this in the park afterwards.

Defenestrate the snobs, simultaneously.
The elitists simultaneously defenestrated the multiple world-wide-web-linked raincoats of the nostalgists disinclined to act, due to their apathy, into air redolent of petrichor.
I got nothin' for 'fear of long words'. Maybe 'telelogphobics'. Dunno.

@poorusher Yeah, doesn't seem like a font-nerd joke when the premise is the font is monospace except for some letters.
And where is the kerning?

Photo of a teapot that is a dandy looking gentleman doing the “I’m a little teapot” pose with one wrist on his hip and the other extended with his wrist bent away.
First comment is “Absolutely OBSESSED with this teapot from 1882”
Second comment is “is he… you know… a teapot from 1882?”

Lots of amazing images. My favourites are the cyclists.
Tropical Island Woman. okay
Wheat Collection Machine. what?
Hand Chained To Rum Bottle and Burning Cigarette (Looks like a forest fire warning). good. PSAs
But the two I've seen with a person standing in a shower? I'm confused.

A bagel cut in half with ramp cream cheese spread on both halves. The bagel is on a white plate sitting on a wood table.
Friends gave us a bunch of ramps from their yard so made some ramp cream cheese and well of course needed something to put it on so made some bagels.
enjoy some sweet jumps
You’ve never ramped.
time to ramp up my game.
@scruss - came here to jump that
@redfox just planted some farmers' market ramps in our garden, we'll see if they take.
