The natural conclusion to my berrymania is blueberry pie!π«β¨π₯§
I also realized that I've accidentally made a short comic about the fate of these blueberries with my 3 paintings haha

It's wild blueberry season in Sweden and I've been picking and eating my fill everyday from the forest behind my house! The entire forest floor is covered in wild blueberry bushes and the tangy taste is so cosmic, I had to paint them β¨

Nobody has ever made the dark feel as real as old Disney did.
In these films the night isn't an absence of light. It's a color, and someone mixed it by handβ¦
Disney had its own paint laboratory, built by a woman named Mary Weiser, the first of its kind in animation. Its job was to invent shades that did not exist yet. In the early thirties, when the studio was still making shorts, there were around eighty shades on the shelves. By the time they finished Snow White there were fifteen hundred.
Every one of them went on by hand, cel by cel, and each cel needed hours to dry before it could be photographed.
The Ink and Paint department was almost entirely women. According to the Walt Disney Family Museum, the paints were sometimes named after them, and to have a color carry your name was considered an honour.
So the dark of Bambi's forest, the lamplight in Geppetto's workshop, the blue at Cinderella's attic window: none of it is a filter or a setting or a dimmer turned down. Each is a specific colour that a specific person mixed in a jar, and some of those jars had her name on the label.
That is why these scenes still feel more alive than anything made since. We went from hands, to computers, to AI, and at every step there is a little less of the person left in itβ¦
The author Joanna Maciejewska said it better than anyone: "I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes."
Masking because of COVID actually taught me that I could be utilizing masking for lots of things.
Protection from the flu and other viruses
Protection from smoke
Protection from allergens
And that Iβm not sure why we werenβt always masking during flu season, in drs offices and hospitals, as the immune compromised and around them, and even around babies.
Getting sick all the time actually doesnβt have to be a part of life. And certain illnesses can cause long term issues so why would you want to?
Itβs funny how itβs normalized for surgeons and dentists to mask, for example. But demonized for other people being cautious of their health and the health of those around them.
It genuinely makes me really sad to see a lot of local businesses starting to use AI generated logos and signage, like even clipart stuff was so much more charming and now a lot of local graphic design is starting to look indistinguishable and soulless
