Current Story: v2 Quality Assurance Passes
Notes: Work on the Re-issuance scenario continued yesterday. While I made progress, there are still some issues and a bit of work to do before it is complete. I did manage to report the Blazor issue to the https://t.co/dl1CVKXnGK team. We'll see how that goes. Past that, it was basically me staring at the problem and analyzing the best steps forward. I hope to continue that staring today and make a breakthrough.

Current Story: v2 Quality Assurance Passes
Notes: Work continued on re-issuances yesterday, cleaning up most of the outstanding identified issues, with a few more remaining that I expect to finish today. I am feeling better about this scenario and the rest of the New Publishing Wizard. That's the point of these Quality Assurance passes after all. Functionality aside, there's a bigger, trickier issue here to "clean" the used local storage keys, and that will be a focus either today or tomorrow. I am generally confident that I will complete this area over the weekend.

Starbeamers: Weekly Wednesday #artchallenge! This week is based on the #Theme: " Summer Storms"
Post your art/relevant #StarbeamOne storefronts below ๐
There is a moment on a humid summer evening when the world seems to hold its breath. The heat lingers long after the sun begins to sink, wrapping itself around fields, sidewalks, and quiet neighborhoods like a heavy blanket. The air is thick with the scent of grass, warm pavement, and distant rain. Trees grow still. Birds fall silent. Far off on the horizon, great thunderheads rise into the evening sky, their towering forms catching the last gold of the setting sun while their depths darken into blue, violet, and charcoal. Everything feels expectant, as though the earth itself is waiting for permission to exhale.
Then, almost imperceptibly, the storm begins to arrive. A cool wind rustles through the leaves. Curtains billow in open windows. Lightning flickers within the clouds before the thunder rolls slowly across the landscape. Rain follows in shimmering waves, drumming across rooftops, splashing through gardens, and turning streets into ribbons of reflected light. The day's oppressive heat dissolves into the sweet scent of petrichor.
This theme invites artists to capture the quiet drama of summer storms and the beauty that surrounds them. Let towering clouds command the horizon. Let rain soften the landscape and reflections shimmer beneath streetlights and sunset skies. Explore the contrast between lingering warmth and cooling rain, between stillness and motion, between golden evening light and gathering darkness. Because there are few moments more beautiful than a summer storm at day's end; a reminder that even the heaviest air eventually gives way to rain, renewal, and the calm that follows.

In this installment of Technique Tuesday we'll explore a style that has roots in folk traditions and asks us if complexity is really nessecary after all .
Our base prompt looks like this :
(Subject ) (Modifiers) , in the style of smooth even saturated Nijii marker neo-primitivism , extraordinary photorealism, exquisite detailing and clean lines , layering of colors for depth and shading , dappled sunlight with organic light transitions,smooth noiseless digital textures
Neo-Primitivism begins with a return.
Not a return to the past as something to be copied, but as something to be remembered. It reaches back to the bold colors of folk traditions, the honest simplicity of village crafts, the painted icons, embroidered textiles, and handmade objects that had long shaped everyday life. In those familiar forms, artists found something they felt modern art desperately needed, authenticity.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Russia was alive with artistic experimentation. Painters were questioning old rules, embracing new ideas, and searching for fresh ways to see the world. Some looked toward the future through abstraction and industry. Others turned their gaze toward the countryside, discovering that the visual language of ordinary people held a power every bit as revolutionary.
From that meeting of tradition and innovation, Neo-Primitivism was born.
The movement was led by some of the most adventurous artists of the Russian avant-garde. Natalia Goncharova became its defining figure, drawing inspiration from Russian folk art, Orthodox icons, village life, and traditional crafts while combining them with the bold energy of modern painting. Working alongside her was Mikhail Larionov, whose vibrant compositions and experimental spirit helped shape the movement's identity. Artists such as Kazimir Malevich, before developing Suprematism, and Aristarkh Lentulov also explored Neo-Primitivist ideas, blending folk traditions with the emerging language of modern art. Together, these artists transformed familiar imagery into something fresh, fearless, and unmistakably new.
Looking at a Neo-Primitivist painting, you are immediately struck by its confidence.
Figures are simplified into bold, expressive shapes. Colors sing with remarkable intensity. Perspective bends or disappears altogether, giving way to compositions that feel decorative, rhythmic, and full of life. Every line seems deliberate, every color carries emotional weight. The paintings do not strive to imitate the world exactly as the eye sees it. They seek something deeper; the feeling of the world rather than its precise appearance.
Part of the movement's energy came from the artists' willingness to draw inspiration wherever they found it. The expressive color of Paul Gauguin and the innovations of European modernism found their way into the work, but so too did the visual traditions that had surrounded Russian communities for generations. Neo-Primitivism became a meeting place where folk culture and the avant-garde could exist side by side, each enriching the other.
Although the movement flourished for only a short time before newer avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Futurism, and Suprematism reshaped the artistic landscape, its influence reached far beyond its own era. It encouraged artists to value local traditions, handcrafted aesthetics, and cultural identity as sources of creative innovation rather than relics of the past.
Its spirit continues to echo through contemporary painting, illustration, folk-inspired art, and design. Wherever artists embrace expressive simplicity, vibrant color, and the beauty of handmade traditions, something of Neo-Primitivism remains.
Together , let's explore some simple yet vibrant art in the comments below ๐.

Current Story: v2 Quality Assurance Passes
Notes: Work on Re-issuance testing started yesterday, and there are issues. ๐ To start, there's a rather significant bug with Blazor that I have been meaning to report, but if a certain amount of information is transferred over the wire (32K), Blazor locks up without warning or exception. It's a pretty bad bug, and I ran into it again yesterday, which kindly reminded me to report it.
So now I need to do a bug report plus find a workaround for this issue. I will look to untangle this mess today.
