thank you, lynda

 

The horrible human world and a wrenching commission work (that I happily accepted) balanced only by a drawing prompt (that I partly misread) by Lynda Barry. Special thanks to Vienna for Komplizenschaft! Here's the prompt:  

printing day at the studio

A couple of weeks ago we got a visitor from the pulsing art scene of Berlin and she asked: "When will we make a printing day in the studio?" Alas, our wooden printing press has hibernated under Liisi's table for more than a year, but for this request is needed to be dug out.

Here's my tetrapack prints on different papers, and the actual plate (third image). A heart was a reoccurring motif that day. 

Admiring the exhibited results from all four participants.

 

 Real life imitates art, because just two weeks later I bought way too big shoes to myself!

 

  

en vanlig dag på kontoret

 Just another not very manic Monday.

Cooking is nice, but requires attention and octopus hands.

 

great argument

I was attending a class related to the use of AI in thesis writing in the uni where I teach. Asking about the energy usage of AI, in relation to the benefit it gives, I got this answer:

 I think it was a great argument. I think this is also a great argument:

Which leads me to this great argument:

 Yeah, bye!

existential warning

 It's not like I didn't draw anything during February. I for example, hand crafted these post-its to our studio toilet. It's a specific, melancholic feeling, when you've "done your thing" in the toilet, reach out to the toilet paper and there is none. A small, sudden existential moment in the middle of the day you thought was going to pass like any other. How do I continue from here?
