Earlier this year we were asked by Ralph creative and Netflix to make a paper cut piece to help promote Season 5 of #StrangerThings! And that season is here!!
Hope you like this spooky Vecna we made! It was pretty fun to show off the process of everything involved in making something like this ✂️

And, as long as we're talking Wendy's, there's no better place to share this promo pic of Arnold Schwarzenegger at a Wendy's in 1979, where he looks like someone hit Nardwuar with Gamma rays!

I try to be honest with people who ask me about what it’s like to be a freelancer. While there’s lots of benefits to it, there’s also things that make it hard.

here's how I made these guys (and you can too!), starting with supplies. you'll need:
• reasonably sturdy paper (think cardstock)
• non-woven fabric, like felt
• sashiko or embroidery thread (multiple colors)
• an embroidery needle
• stuffing (I use textile scraps)
• twine or cord (for hanging)

Idk how to make this interesting to other people but last night my elderly mother sent me, unprompted, a photo of a hippo followed by just a scathing review of this animal.

Interesting video about the state of Pinterest and where else to look for references. This seems to be targeting knitters and I suspect it got pushed to me because just yesterday I was looking for Nordic textile references online (and struggling.)

About page rates: "More likely you had to work 10 hours or more per day to make that schedule: $6.25 per hour. Oh, and no benefits. No employer paying social security. Nothing. Take out that money as well, and you are working for something like $5 per hour." colleendoran.substack.com/p/about-thos...

They're Terrible, generally.

“realism” is such a funny descriptor for a worldview/art movement/etc. “what’s up, i believe in things that i think are true”

FASCINATING video about the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, this covers a ton of ground as far as implications for film preservation, labour, filmmaking, filmgoing, why it looks "like that." Remarkably thorough and super watchable, I was glued to it.

This is so much fun!!! I hope the originator doesn't feel bad, Frieren Looking Up is so delightful because of all the different ways artists try to "solve" a drawing like this. Some really accomplished artists struggled here! It's nice to remember some things are just hard to draw no matter what.
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

It would be unrealistic and a sure failure to expect to grow your own food in year one.
Yet a lot of people think they “can’t draw” because they aren’t Albrecht Dührer after their second class. When they could be drawing a mouse with a hat and enjoying a win.
