'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Okay, my QUESTION OF THE DAY is… What is your weirdest actual accomplishment? Not the biggest necessarily…but the weirdest?

Nice Tom. Of Finland?

I went to highschool with a Jeremy Person. Also our librarian was Ms. Strange, and the school nurse at my buddy's school was Nurse Angst. Aaaalso I had a close friend in middle school named CHUCK BLENDER. Sometimes feel like my childhood was cast by a wry novelist.

New custom paper mache sculpture! Not my design; it's based on pics of a vintage-y Halloween decoration the client provided. It was a neat challenge; this is the most realistic human face I've ever made, and the painting/coloring style is very different than what I usually do. It's 13" tall.

Nice plans. Best laid?

Okay, prompt time: What is your favorite iconic _L.A. Movie_ that isn't HEAT (1995)? Define "iconic" however you like

The new Ghost in the Shell has some absolutely gorgeous animation, with the color design being particularly juicy, but everything else about it just deepens my abiding respect for the madman Oshii. "He forces languid philosophical musical interludes into everything" Yeah AND?

Of *course* the newest and largest HDD in my desktop has started making pinging noises mere months after its 5-year warranty expired, at a time when prices are up like 60% Having a NAS now I've got no real need to replace it, but also not sure what to do with a "tests-OK" drive I don't trust. #PC

Bought a toilet seat at Home Depot today and got it home to find it extremely pre-shitted-upon. What a time saver! Good thing I got my hep-B booster last month. #HomeImprovement #DIY
