On my mind; art things

Posted by ShadenLines - January 26th, 2025


A few weeks left until the move...& I'm behind. That kinda thing can frazzle your nerves. But then moving is a pain in the ass even under ideal conditions, so I'm trying not to stress out any more than I have to.


I also need a truck. Bad. You can't live out in the boondocks without one, unless you're a Mennonite. In which case you need at least one horse to pull your carriage with, & probably another for your plow. So I'm lookin' for a set of wheels with a cargo bed this week.


Other than that, not much else to report. Here's some lettering practice from I don't remember when (after 2020?):

Also, @pincharratas - I downloaded your redo of Zero 4 & edited it for clarity...it's not bad, but you need better lighting for taking pictures of your work.

Jan. 27th Edit: I got a lead on a truck. So far it looks good.

First off congrats on the lead to a truck! Secondly, that lettering is gorgeous! Also, the content is very good too. Poignant even now. I hope your move goes well. I know from recent experience that moving sucks.

Thanks. Every so often I try to post something more substantial than the usual practice pieces, morbid art, & girl illos. Sure the Politics forum was closed for good reason...still, there are important issues we all have to deal with in modern society. I'm just hoping my stuff will eventually spark a decent convo, so I can find someone to talk to who isn't a push-button wingnut (lib, con, left, right, whatever). Ideologues are not the only people out there....I hope.

Is the girl a portrait of a real person? She looks pretty.

what type of job do you have that allows you to live in the boondocks? if you don't mind mentioning. or are you retired or something?

The politics forum was current events gossip. I don't feel following or arguing that type of political content has made me a better person in any way. Local issues, or politics divorced from current global politics as an intellectual or philosophical exercise on the other hand...

1. Yes, she is. She's a local singer & rapper...one of the tons of performers out there trying for that big break. She has a YouTube channel under the name "laylautie", if you're interested.

2. 🤨 You're an inquisitive one... "Retired" is a good way to put it. What do you do? Belay that question...am already getting a sense of it. Yours is a sophisticated job indeed.
