Black and white multiple-exposure photography of a man in Old West garb trick-firing/dual-wielding revolvers that he's spinning into the air.
I wonder if the photographer is Harold Edgerton.

A handsome used dog of Boxer, Pit, and who knows what else with black fur and white paws laying on a field of grass. Happy as can be.
We said goodbye to one of the greatest dogs today. Lucky to have had him in our lives.
We gave him a good life after he came to us abandoned. I like to think he gave us a bit of life over the years. The epitome of “man’s best friend”, he’d follow you to the end of the earth and back. Six years is too short for the love we had and cancer just fucking sucks.
Edit: I just realized I've posted about him a few times over the years. That brings me joy. https://mltshp.com/search...

So sorry for your loss.
This sucks, I'm sorry to hear it.
So sorry. To live in hearts that love is not to die.

Several samples of embroidery on denim
Been picking up embroidery after a forty year break. Thought I'd look at my one big project, a pair of 501s.
Priceless!

Retired?
After 12 years of working in the same place, I have finally left. It came as I was getting despondent and really getting mentally tired from the role that I was doing. I asked for some time off which was rejected and in turn they came to the idea that leaving was best for business. I have so many fond memories there and made so many friends so it was hard to decide that but that means I can forge another chapter in my life...
escape velocity! i'm sorry that it was such an unceremonious end; i mean that's such a bad sign when all you want is some time off and they say "no". glad you're able to move on though; good luck in the next stage of things.
i'm in that phase now too; also passing 12 years at the same place and feeling burnt out, trying to get the energy to start looking around. solidarity!

The next chapter will find your soul improved. Rush into its arms for it is your place to level up. Source: I just did this in November.
Godspeed!

Another day stripping copper..

Green grass and grey rocks with a grey cylinder and a disk of metal. 2 men are standing in the cylinder. The whole scene is populated by fluffy white butterflies
Kazakh scavengers stripping copper off the second stage of a Soyuz rocket that plummeted back to Earth. The men are surrounded by giant clouds of white butterflies. Taken by Norwegian photographer Jonas Bendiksen, 2000.

My first mural update
alt text
Two photographs, the top one features the outside wall of a building, with a half finished mural, with a painting of flowers and insects. The bottom picture shows two people working on the mural with brushes in hand.
I've been hard at work in the last two weeks together with my colleague Ivonne (in the background). But we've been slowed down a little bit. Last week there was a heatwave of more than 30°C and this weekend it's been raining a lot. But we've got some extra time. So I'm not too worried. We're not nearly finished, although some people might think it is done :-)
By the way, the design is basically a watercolour I did a couple of years ago, with some minor alterations: https://mltshp.com/p/1N5L6
The official opening is on Saturday afternoon June the 13th. If you're in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, drop by!

whoaaaaaaaa nice work!
it's amazing to see how your linework translates so beautifully to such a large scale!

@nikkuneko Thank you! Yes, the line work is kind of the same as in my small drawings. I was quite confident I could enlarge this because my lines are kind of an extension of my anatomy (or at least that's what it feels like to me). But it was a nice surprise to see it worked out as well as I hoped it would!
Yesssssssss

Marjane Satrapi

Portrait of writer, illustrator and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi wearing a long coat, platform boots stood on a tree stump.
Great portrait. How it evokes her drawing style.
So sad how her life ended.

I actually don't know much about her work. But I'm obsessed with this look, badass.
Also the spirit of punk is incredibly important even if like me, you were a bit young when punk crested.

@poorusher sorry to be obtuse: how does this relate to punk? The shoes?

square 2x2 collage of photo close-ups: small translucent plastic animals, sitting in various locations: 1) light blue rabbit tucked in the corner of a concrete wall/ divider 2) dark blue duck in a crevice between stones on a low wall 3) a green chicken and yellow duck facing one another, as if in conversation atop a building mailbox (where part of a label can be seen, reading “ding”) 4) a pink rabbit sitting on a brick-encircled planter
oh no i’m out in the wild doing this now, including clumsily trying to sneak them onto checkout counters and shopfronts.
i was hiding them in random spots around the office for a couple weeks, which was pretty fun for a while. a few people struck up conversations about them, and it was fun to try to stoke the mystery of "who put these there". unfortunately an office admin started clearing them out en masse and i had the feeling they were particularly nonplussed about it. thankfully a few are still hidden around there.
anywho, it's something fun to do for now, wherever it is! “is this a cry for help, nick?”, the audience cried as the unhinged behavior continued...

Dead Duck Day 2026
alt text
Dead Duck Day marks the fateful 1995 crash of a male mallard duck into the Rotterdam Museum of Natural History's glass facade, which was subsequently followed by 75 minutes of homosexual necrophilia - the first scientifically documented case of its kind, earning researcher Kees Moeliker an Ig Nobel Prize. And worldwide fame and virality.
Ever since, the day has been celebrated/commemorated each year on June 4, 4:55 pm, by Kees in front of the window of the Rotterdam museum where the duck met its end. I've been to a couple of editions and I didn't want to miss this one! Especially because Dead Duck Day is now going to travel around the world, because Kees has retired. I hopped on my bike and got there just in time. I didn't get him to pose with me for you guys (I didn't wear a Mltshp shirt anyways), but I did get to talk to Marc Abrahams from the Ig Noble Prize who was there as well. He's super nice.
If you know of a place, bar, museum or other kind of venue where Dead Duck Day should be held next time, let Kees know. Seriously, by the way. Or give me a shout and I'll pass it on.

collusion

Two strange figures stand side-by-side against a dull greenish background that looks like a chalkboard. The figures are drawn in white linework that looks like chalk. Both are crudely rendered at first glance: stick figures, hair in straight lines, standing under a sun that looks like a toddler drew it. Their faces and bodies, though, are much more detailed. The figure on the left is wearing a white coat with a tie, and has an eerily craggy face and large, empty, eyes on which are placed lenses. The figure on the right, which it is holding hands with, is dressed entirely in white, and has a slightly simpler face, although its eyes are also large and empty. A crude halo is drawn above its head. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
I love it!

poster for The Omen movie pointing out that "Today is the 6th day of the 6th month of 1976"
The book (not sure if it was a horror novel made into the film, or a "noverlization") scared the crap out of me, age 9.
The number of the beast is 6/6/76?
@thelonius apparently a concurrent novelization of the screenwriter's own screenplay!
