Would you be able to PM me the old man model? I had an idea for something where I need an older character.

There's a Walter Foster art book bundle over on Humble Bundle right now:
Great deal to get some books if you want to brush up on your drawing skills.

In "Idiocracy" this would be how the brand name starts...
🤣
Oh I bet I can imagine how it would end...
Anytime I see a product on Amazon with a "wtf" name I stear clear of it. If the manufacturer can't be bothered to choose a name that gives me some confidence that they are going to be around in 6 months, then I'm not interested.

Thought this was cute and relevant to community interests:

We watched this in Live Answer Time and I thought this was too good not to share with everyone else, I only wish I had animated it:

So, here I am. Thought I'd give an update since it has been nearly a year since I posted anything. Work truly got the better of me this year. The software company I worked for (Tibco) was part of a merger with Citrix, which in turn gave rise to Cloud Software Group (CSG). The new CEO of CSG, the hired hatchet man from the venture capital owners then decided that he didn't like consultants so started a quiet layoff in January under the guise of restructering bonus and payscales. Before we were eligible for quarterly bonuses, he changesd them to anual, tied to division performance and not individual performance. Basically encouraging managers to do more with less. Then in June he decided to sell of the consulting group entirely which led to layoffs in August. Me and my team, even though I had just got a quarter mill contract signed days before, were laid off on august 10th. I have been looking for a new gig since then without much luck. The folks I work with and I decided in September to form our own LLC, and from that Seamless Integration Group LLC was formed. We are now in the the beginning stages of developing a SaaS data quality and AI platform for the healthcare industry. To say I have been a bit stressed over paying the mortgage is an understatement. But I am still among the living, just not feeling as creative as I'd like to be.
Sorry to hear that. May you have much success with your LLC in the coming years.

Their shows were very trippy, for sure. HR Puff n Stuff (Land of the Lost, too, come to think of it) was a bit before my time, but I caught Land of the Lost in reruns in the mid 80s on the local Fox affiliate.
There were some other shows in the 80s that I think may have taken some inspiration from the Sid & Marty Kroft stuff...Great Space Coaster comes to mind.

Those of us of a certain age may remember watching the shows produced by Marty Kroft growing up. Apparently he passed away recently:

Happy Thanksgiving to all the US Hashers out there, hope everyone is enjoying time with family or a day off work.

Wow talk about bad decisions.

These demons look very Bosch-like. It's unusual among top-tier painters, but Michelangelo was 13 when he did it

Geez Louise, 13? I need to rethink my life choices.

I wonder how many paintings have these things as their subject matter, either as the primary theme or as easter eggs. I would assume our good friend Hieronymous Bosch skews the averages a bit.

Is this from inside the curved space station set, I'm assuming? I'm not sure how else to account for the gravity-defying poses.

Happy Halloween, Rob!

I guess I'm not the target market for modern art, then. I can't imagine owning one of these even if I was a billionaire.

You need some canned air and take that outside to blow it off, heat sinks are less efficient when they have dust bunnies.

Too cool. Can't imagine buying a car just to leave it in the garage, though.

Nice pictures, Rob. Looks like you were in an ideal spot for eclipse watching. It was very overcast in my part of the country so there wasn't much of a show in my neck of the woods.
-
Very nice, shame we don't see more of this kind of thing.

That reminds me of something but I can't put my finger on it.

I think we would all appreciate a visit from the money truck. 😄

I liked the old logo, so if they are bringing it back that's great.
This guy looks like a cast member from "The Ballad of Ricky Bobby":
