I am an amateur game designer, an artist/crafter, and a reader. My specialty areas are design documents, story outlining, concept art, & moderating brainstorming sessions, surveys, and voting. My reading these days is mainly litRPG, xianxia, fanfiction, and the occassional non-fiction book about art or theories of writing fiction.

Hello artists and art appreciators! I am looking for any information you can link me to about an art form where hollow 3D sculptures are made from pieces of bamboo, or possibly wood shavings. The distinctive characteristic is scales, feathers, or fins made from flat chips. Most examples I've seen (in the USA) were Christmas ornaments or other hanging sculptures, usually animals, sold around 1985-1990. Probably Asian, possibly Vietnam.

Here's a little game for any art fan! Describe your favorite genre(s) WITHOUT saying their name, in 10 words or less. Examples:

Stylized nature, elegant curves and polygons, glossy solid colors or fine-grained natural materials.

Random shapes of swirling sunlit colors brought together by metallic lines of even weight.

Radial symmetry, vivid gradients, glossy or crisp modern surfaces, ambiguously symbolic.

Interesting new book about creating art and music coming out!

@fieryzard The article mentions a network of artists and also says the book talks about community, sounds like something you might be interested in.

A bit of a hazy shade of lilac just after sunset tonight in Glastonbury. The trees are starting to change colour now too.

Check in with yourself a few times each day and take a moment to process your thoughts and emotions. Don’t let them build up.

Don't forget: Life is hard, but you manage to push your way trough it anyway. That is very respectable.

Advent of Bloggers 2021 | James' Coffee Blog

For the last week or two, I have been thinking whether there is a December blogging series I could take on, similar to how Advent of Code publishes a new coding challenge every day throughout Advent. I thought that I would just continue with my regular blogging until yesterday when I came up with an idea: write a blog post every day of Advent that talks about a particular blog I like. I am calling this my “advent of bloggers” series.
