Dam. That is like someone kidnapping my cat, killing and stuffing her, covering her with glitter, then handing her back to me claiming that they 'improved' her.

I sometimes work with gold foil. Specifically I used to repare old picture frames with gesso and gold leaf. There is a myth that the value of gold carries over into the value of gold leaf. In Asia, you can buy sake with gold leaf flecks sus

As an artist, I can observe that (generally) aesthetic images such as paintings or photos, are visually unified. This unity is similar to that of a signature: complex yet uniquely expressive. this singularity is composed of many elements (t

Maybe we (males to other males) do something similar to teasing... But with a crueler streak. I knew I could call my Irish colleague a freind the day he called me an Englsh wanker. Conversely, a former girlfriend said that she did not consi

Most of my experience of teasing falls into one of two catagories: teasing of a female by a male, teasing of a child by an adult. I can't remember the last time I (m) was teased by another male. This begs the question... at some level

What books I would recommend would depend upon what application you would put them to. User Danwills mentions color spaces, which are the means by which colour is expressed and also the means by which color is 'transcribed' from o

I would add to that list color dodge. Used in the right way, it produces results that mimic natural highlights. A highlight will impact all values except black (I.e. deep shadow) which it will ignore. My teaching notes on color dodge here:

A quick note on the history of sketchbooks. Though artists have always drawn, it was the rise of the atelier system in France which saw sketchbooks become a thing. An atelier was a small private art school, usually run by an older experienc

I don't belive I could ever hear CRTs, but I belive I had a similar experience. I once saw a meteor in the night sky of France and also heard the sound it made. I was assured by my father, who knows of such things, that the meteor was
