Sometimes I like to draw things in the reverse (filling in the light areas, leaving the dark areas bare) and then flip them to see how I did. Today's warmups turned out pretty well. My favorite is the kid on the top, whose head & hair echo the strawberry shape. I wish I'd distinguished the girl's legs from the dog's body on the left more, but overall, not bad.

I went to the museum and started sketching some of the masks and things that were in there..

It’s Good to be King, if just for a while. I draw in my notes for work every day. It helps me digest the things that are said in meetings. In the case, it simply divided one topic from another. I color in the drawings later or the next day, which helps me recall my notes and it is peaceful.

We wrapped up our trip with South of the Border, the schlockiest, most-borderline-offensive Mexican-themed South Carolina rest stop of all time. Then we hit Raleigh's art museum, and went home. The last few sketches of my sketchbook were me flipping through my photos and drawing a few favorite things I hadn't gotten to drawing yet. Thanks for traveling with me!

While on my drive home, at each red light, I drew in my sketchbook without looking. All shapes and things were from things I was seeing as I drove home. I then colored it in.

I animated this one. In the Invention Room, monsters that live under the bed are grown. On one unfortunate day, this one escaped with a very clever plan.

Piece from a while back when I first started to get back into sketching things

A while back, I jumped into a global property deal, saying folks like me could cash in on hot foreign housing scenes. Real estate - sure, everyone knows it prints money, a big-time industry worldwide. It looked solid at first - they showed me online walkthroughs of places I partly owned, got me pumped. Still, there was this weird vibe nagging me, hard to explain, just wouldn’t quit bugging me inside. I ignored it, though, brushed it off, kept going anyway. One thing I’d say now? Listen to that inner voice - every single time. I kept picturing the steady cash coming in, which blurred how clearly I saw things. At first, they paid me consistent returns, making it feel legit. Over time, though, I poured more money into it. Before long, I tried pulling out bigger amounts - but then the payouts just vanished. The reasons they gave shifted every week, and not long after, they began asking for added charges to fix the withdrawal issues. Still, I’d spent every dollar - put everything I owned into it, thinking it’d be okay. When things went south, I panicked, then remembered a name: {DIGITAL LIGHT SOLUTION}. Found them through some random post while scrolling late at night. Honestly? Didn’t believe they’d help, but they jumped on it fast, scanning stuff I didn't even know existed. Right away, knew these folks weren’t messing around. Used hidden clues online, tracked down where the cash got moved, and then fought to pull it all back into my hands. I'm happy the hard work brought results - my full investment was back in just 72 hours thanks to the team handling my issue.

It’s strange how one moment everything can feel completely under control, and the next, you're staring at a computer screen, heart racing, with no idea what just went wrong. That’s exactly how I felt a few weeks ago when I made a simple ETH transfer from Ku coin to my Meta Mask wallet. It seemed like a routine transaction, nothing out of the ordinary. But when I checked my Meta Mask after a few minutes, I couldn’t believe my eyes. My ETH was gone. At first, I thought maybe there was a delay. I refreshed the page, checked again, but still, nothing. Panic started to set in. I immediately turned to Ethers can, where I entered my transaction hash, hoping for some clarity. What I found was far worse than I could have imagined: my ETH wasn’t stuck in limbo; it had already been transferred to an address I didn’t recognize. To make matters worse, the gas fee on this transaction was far higher than it should have been—almost suspiciously high. Something was off. My gut told me this wasn’t a mistake; it felt like I’d been targeted. I didn’t know what to do next. The address was foreign to me, and the transaction seemed completely legitimate on the surface, making it even harder to figure out where things went wrong. Frustrated and desperate, I started looking for solutions. That’s when I came across “Salvage Asset Recovery,” a service that specializes in recovering lost or stolen crypto assets. I was initially doubtful—after all, how could a third party help me with something so personal and irreversible? But I had no other choice. I contacted them, and within a few hours, I was in touch with a professional who walked me through the situation. With their expertise, it became clear that I had likely fallen victim to a phishing attack or exploit, which had tricked me into sending my ETH to a malicious address. They assured me that recovery was possible and began working immediately. In what seemed like a miracle, my ETH was returned. The entire ordeal had been a nightmare, but with the help of Salvage Asset Recovery, I got my funds back. It was a huge relief, but it also served as a wake-up call. I learned the hard way that in the world of crypto, things aren’t always as straightforward as they seem. Now, I triple-check everything before I make any transactions, and I’m much more cautious about where I seek help. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to reach out to Salvage Asset recovery, you might just get your money back, too.

Greetings to friends and family, I am Dr. Donald Tim Writing to you from Canada to share an important and personal story that I believe could help others avoid the same mistakes I made. In 2024, I decided to try my hand at binary trading, drawn in by the promises of high returns and seemingly legitimate platforms. Unfortunately, what I thought was a golden opportunity quickly turned into a costly and painful experience. I was introduced to what appeared to be a professional binary trading platform, complete with glossy promises of quick profits and user-friendly tools. Eager to capitalise on the potential for fast gains, I invested a significant amount of money. At first, things seemed promising small gains here and there. But soon after, things took a turn for the worse. The platform I had trusted began to show signs of irregularities. My attempts to withdraw funds were blocked, and communication with the platform's support team became increasingly difficult. In the end, I realised I had been scammed, and all my invested funds had vanished without a trace. For a while, I felt hopeless. I had no idea how to retrieve my lost money or who to turn to. But fortunately, I was referred to Salvage Asset Recovery, a team of experts specialising in recovering funds from online frauds, including binary trading scams. Salvage Asset Recovery used advanced forensic techniques to track down the stolen funds and worked relentlessly to retrieve every penny I had lost. Thanks to their hard work and professionalism, I was able to recover all my lost money. I am truly grateful for their expertise, which turned a situation that seemed irreversible into a positive outcome. Now, I want to share my experience with others to prevent anyone from falling into the same trap. While binary trading can appear enticing, it is a space where scams are alarmingly common. If you’ve already fallen victim to such a scam, I highly recommend reaching out to experts like Salvage Asset Recovery. They specialise in recovering funds lost in binary trading, Forex, and other online investment scams. Please, take caution before investing in any online trading platform. Ensure it’s fully regulated and verified. If you’ve already been defrauded, remember that there is hope for recovery. Salvage Asset Recovery helped me reclaim my funds, and they can help you too. Stay safe, stay informed, [Their Contact info. Email Salvageassetrecovery@alumni.com

As a lifelong Indiana resident, I never thought I would fall victim to a cryptocurrency scam especially not one that would wipe out $30,000 of my hard-earned savings. It all began when I was contacted by a woman named “Sophia” through Facebook. She claimed to be a professional crypto investment advisor based in Manhattan and came across as incredibly knowledgeable and confident. Her profile was convincing, filled with images of high-end offices, client testimonials, and even fake endorsements from celebrities, all crafted to earn my trust. At first, I had always been cautious with my money, but her pitch was persuasive. She promised a “low-risk” investment opportunity with high returns, backed by what appeared to be credible audits and consistent performance reports. I decided to test the waters by investing $200. To my surprise, I was able to withdraw the money with no issues, which made the platform seem trustworthy. Feeling more confident, I went all in. Over the next few weeks, I invested $25,000 into what I believed were Bitcoin and Ethereum transactions through her platform. The dashboard displayed constant growth. My account balance soared, and I felt thrilled watching my so-called earnings increase. It looked like the investment was paying off until things took a turn. To unlock my “profits,” I was asked to send an additional $4,800 to cover something called “gas fees.” Hesitant but eager to access my growing funds, I sent the money. Then, just like that, the platform disappeared. My account was inaccessible, Sophia stopped responding, and I was left with nothing. My savings were gone, and I felt betrayed and ashamed. Just when I thought I had lost everything, I came across HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS, a cyber forensics group specializing in retrieving stolen cryptocurrency. Skeptical but desperate, I contacted them. They used advanced tools like Chainalysis to trace the stolen crypto across blockchain and collaborated with international authorities and exchanges to freeze the assets. Amazingly, just last week, HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS recovered 100% of my lost funds. I was stunned and overjoyed. Thanks to their determination, what I thought was gone forever was returned to me. I learned a painful lesson, but I’m grateful for the second chance. Their contact details are listed below.

Quick little doodle I made with a pen.

Day by day dear Lord, of thee these three things I pray: to see You more clearly, to love You more dearly, to follow You more nearly. Day by day. This is a hymn I hold dear to my heart, and sometimes I find myself unknowly humming to the tune as I go about my day! If you know this hymn, sing it! //There are 6 Sundays leading up to Good Friday. In observation of Lent, I will be posting 6 works inspired by the theme. This is for the 3rd Sunday of Lent.

One of the other bits of art I'll sometimes do is collage building. I admit to recycling bits of everyday things from candy wrappers and ramen noodles lids to packaging information for later use. I do use a bit of my own artwork but that's not really the focal point and therefore, it's being excluded from tags.

I'm recently gathering people who like to draw to download this app, 'Stellog'. It's not fully activated yet but If you'd like to share your drawings or doodles via mobile phone, I recommend you to join the Doodle Universe and join other people! I'm currently perform as a concierge, and you can freely message to me in there, and hope we can do many things like Gartic show, or drawing together irt! I love animes like Gumball, Advernture time, Gravity falls and so on... Hope we can meet there! https://stellog.onelink.me/HARE?af_xp=custom&pid=directSales&c=Min

I highly recommend the book, Gender and Competition: How Men and Women Approach Work and Play Differently, by Kathleen J. DeBoer. In it, among other things, she elucidates that those with a conceptually masculine perspective (regardless of sex) are drawn to thinking of the world in hierarchies, which I have represented here with a triangle in the mind of the spotter on the left. She elaborates that those with a conceptually feminine perspective (again, regardless of sex) are draw to thinking of the world in webs, which I have represented here with a circle. Those that think more masculine-ly are more likely to expect beginners in a sport or field to prove themselves in the group. They will often not "hold their punches" (i.e. curb their ability) to make newcomers comfortable. All members of the group are expected to "earn their keep," in a sense. When a member of the group exceeds expectations, they move up in the hierarchy. Contrary to that, those that think more feminine-ly likely show acceptance and approval to beginners in order to foster an environment in which they will perform. They will often adjust their skills so that newcomers can more readily "keep up." When a member of the group exceeds expectations, they are expected to raise the status of the group as a whole. The playing field is "flattened" in that sense. I am not advocating for either perspective, but I will share that I have a more conceptually feminine perspective, and that I have previously left groups whose members have a more masculine perspective. Kathleen's book really helped me personally to understand the motivations of people that I genuinely did not understand prior to reading the book. It put a lot into perspective for me, and I hold fewer grudges these days. Cheers, fam~

We take things in and digest them before regurgitating them or expelling them again through our being. This is true of many aspects of our reality, not just of caloric intake. We take things in through the senses, through the person. We digest with our intellect and with our perception. Then we are able to share that back out through the senses, through our behaviours, and through our being. Food builds our body even as our experiences build our character. The real mark of a mature human being is developing deeper levels of discretion and recognizing more intimate forms of subtlety. Not everyone likes grapes, but to condemn grapes as evil is not prosperous to our species. Some like cherries, but not all enjoy their flavour. Grapes and cherries are still nutritious even though some have allergies to them. And not all cherries and grapes are ripe and nutritious at all times in all places. We must carry this knowledge into the development of our judgement. If it is important and worth while to discuss food and material nutrition, then it is much more essential that we evolve a greater sense of discretion for experience and for the holistic palette of our physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual tongues. We do that through consumption and digestion. But be aware that a human being can not live on grapes and cherries alone. We should also do our best to not condemn the taste buds or stomachs of ourselves or others. Namaste.

Suppose that 'meaning' is a faint word scribbled on a wall in a dark room. The words that we use are often barriers that separate, then, our 'comprehension' from 'meaning.' Let us suppose then that the light of the intention of a speaker is obscured by a 'word.' The angle and setup of that intention then, along with the angle and setup of the comprehension of the listener, can distort or disguise the true meaning of what the speaker is saying. Of course, the angle and setup of these things can vary greatly, just as easily as the shadows that cover 'meaning' can vary. It would seem best, then, with this in mind, to communicate as transparently as possible and to avoid and/or to detect deceit whenever possible. Dishonesty and misdirection, whether deliberate or otherwise, in the speaker or in the listener, always risk shrouding 'meaning.' When communicating earnestly, distraction can be dangerous. Shrewdness is recommended.
