I finally finished my first ever gunpla painting project, a gundam Aerial painted with a Tron: Legacy theme that I'm calling the ISO Gundam!

There are a lot of mistakes I've made and a lot of things I could've done better with this, but I'm happy with it nonetheless.

#Maybe if I wanted to get even closer to the Tron mechanical designs I could've used the Turn A Gundam instead of Aerial #but at that point i'd rather paint it like the light cycles from the first Tron movie #since Syd Mead did the designs for both #gunpla #gundam #tron #tron legacy #gundam model #gunpla photography

One Star Reviews

The wonderful Shrinkrants points to an essay by Nora Bateson, Communication is Sacred: Why changes happens in the spaces between us., which I would normally admire but for the context I cannot.

The essay is hosted as a guest post at Alexander Beiner's Substack, The Bigger Picture. At issue is a objection to a recent book by historian Benjamin Breen entitled, Tripping On Utopia" Margaret Mead, the Cold War and theTroubled Birth of Psychedelic Science, by Nora Bateson, Sevanne Kassarjian(Custodian: Mead's work), and other members of the Bateson Idea Group.

Nora Bateson published an open letter against Benjamin Breen's book. Beiner attempted to mediate the dispute between Bateson and Breen. Bateson apparently felt that responding to Breen's rebutal of her publisehd critique would lead to "an unending rabbit hole of bickering about old documents." So she decided to go "meta" or something in her essay.

Beiner helpfully points to Benjamin Breen's rebutal of Bateson's critique. Breen points to Bateson's critique on a one-star review of his book at GoodReads, as well as to one-star reviews on Amazon. A campaign by one-star reviews is dickishness, or in Bateson-speak, "schismogenetic." Disassociationg the Bateson Idea Group from such dickishness would have provided a different context for Bateson's essay.

Update Feb. 18, 2024:

The Wall Street Journal has published a letter by members of the Bateson Idea group responding to a review of Breen's book by Dominic Green. Both are behind the paywall so I can't see who signed the letter nor read Green's review.

My not being able to afford subscriptions to read the reviews in the WSJ, The New Yorker, and NYT, is good reason to discount anything I have to say about the Bateson Idea Group's negative campaign against Breen's book.

I wonder why I feel so butt-hurt over this affair? Nonetheless I am.

Certainly, I believe Gregory Bateson's and Margaret Mead's works and legacies are important. I also believe that accusing a scholar of falselhoods and manipulation of facts is a serious matter. Ad hominem attacks on Breen in lieu of substantive evidence are insufficient and unethical. It is espcieally strange given that the importance of "relationships" is central to Gregory Bateson's work as well at to Nora Bateson's and Phillip Guddemi's published writing.

It's that breech in that galls me so.

One thing I love so much about AI is. Imagine that you felt like you had to choose between learning things, and drawing things. But now imagine you could draw things BY learning things. You have to learn about all of these artists. Photography terms. Types of things you want to portray. Architecture terms. There is an inspiration to learn about nature and different kinds of plants and animals to be able to describe them correctly. It is now so easy to make art from the things you care about and are inspired by. It’s so beautiful to me. The more you know, and can name, the more art you can make! And then see what you made, and you’ll remember what you learned! I wonder how many teachers and art therapists are using this??  It’s not *not* art... it’s an artform of its own. If you’re actually writing really long detailed prompts with a giant number of references and inspirations, it’s possible to create your own style that’s *your* style. 

Also it’s fun for collage and mixed media artists and crafters, if you upscale and print your stuff out  

#if you want to do it the most ethically then just reference dead people #and or use about 5-6 references with the first one or two either being dead or already very very highly copied legacy creators #really you will have enough to work with doing that #it's great if you're like me and you love playing with retro styles and things that specifically call back to old artists #like - my planet Earth/my evil version of the Federation is very very visibly Syd Mead #Hell Planet that my engineer gets stuck on is very very visibly Ray Harryhausen #I put a bit of Ron Cobb into the main part of the space setting #a dash of this a dash of that #but everyone is dead #that's important #well - dead or they're already very very riffed iconic styles like #Heavy Metal Magazine etc

Good evening. This is your little reminder that Detty is real and Daniel wrote this letter in his last MODE issue before going to London, as per the ABC website back in the day. THE LAST TWO PARAGRAPHS THO-

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR A Hundred Years of Attitude April 15, 2010

A hundred years is plenty of time for a lot to happen in anything. Political powers change hands and change back again, cultural movements evolve into something completely different, whole empires rise and fall. And yet, this is somehow even truer for the world of fashion, one in which a constant state of changing attitudes is implied by the very term itself. For a hundred years, Mode Magazine has been a leader, an ambassador, a harbinger, an opponent of and a champion for shifts in the way our society sees itself, and our next issue is a celebration of that complicated legacy.

Of course, an institution like Mode cannot even pretend to the throne of molding the attitudes of culture if it were not full of attitude itself. And attitude is one thing Mode has always had in abundance. To be honest, sometimes I feel as though we at Mode pack a hundred years worth of it into one day, especially since my co-Editor-in-Chief, Wilhelmina Slater, came on the scene. Ah, but I kid...

...And yet, I don't -- the truth is, the field of fashion is one that is both fast and fierce, and sometimes you have to go through a hundred years worth of attitudes in a day to find the one that suits the precise pulse of our culture at that given point. It's an amazing and arduous process, but, to be even more honest, it's one for which I admit I am not a natural fit, one for which Wilhelmina is.

Since I've experienced so much attitude in my time at Mode, I'd like to posit an observation: One thing that is often lost in the changing of an attitude is the cause for that change. This is best understood when you consider attitudes on a personal level. I ask you, dear reader, to think back to a time when you experienced a major shift in your life. Was it an external change, something that happened outside of you, and forced a change of attitude to help you adapt to the future? Perhaps you saw a friend demonstrate a prowess that cast her in a new light. Heck, maybe it was as simple as your friend getting a makeover. Or perhaps that friend was undergoing her own life change, one in which she would no longer be present in your life, compelling you to make your own change to keep her in it, even if it were in a new context.

Just as important: Maybe the change was an internal one. Maybe you realized you were no longer interested in maintaining your status quo. Perhaps you wanted to try new challenges not only in your professional life, but also in your personal one. Or maybe one day something just changed inside you in the way you saw that good friend, causing you to want her to be more than, well, just a friend.

As you experience our One Hundred Years of Attitude Issue, I ask that you consider not only the attitudes themselves, but the causes that precipitated their change and coming to be. Often the changes in attitude that are the most powerful are rooted in causes that come from without and within. When that unusual synergy occurs, love is often the result. And take it from me: Love is the one attitude that never goes out of fashion.     - Daniel Meade

Day 2 - Sharpuary (Shadow)

I didn't actually plan on doing this prompt but inspiration came to me and I typed this up frantically the other night. I hope you enjoy this short bit of fluff ❤️

After moving into a house just past Hogsmeade, Aesop made a promise to himself that he would walk home every day to try and build up the strength in his leg. He certainly felt an improvement but today, the commute felt nearly impossible. 

He had back-to-back classes all day, followed by meetings and evening detentions. He hadn’t had a minute to himself and he was exhausted. But Aesop Sharp had never backed down from a fight, and he wasn’t about to start today.

The air was suddenly filled with the sweet aroma of mead and the enticing scent of pork belly, signalling that he was passing by the three broomsticks. He stood for a moment to catch his breath and inhale the scent as his stomach growled in demand of food. It would be far too easy for him to sneak in for a quick pint and some food but he couldn’t do that when he knew you were waiting for him. 

The final hill leading up to his front door demanded patience, but nothing brought him more comfort and encouragement than knowing you were behind it. 

He slowly and quietly opened his door, like he did every evening, hoping to catch a glimpse of you in your natural habitat. He loved seeing you just simply exist and boy did he hit the jackpot tonight. 

The lounge was completely covered in pillows and blankets that had been meticulously arranged into a fort. Every light had been turned off and the curtains were closed, immersing the room in complete darkness. The only light visible was the light cast from your wand which came from under a large white sheet. 

Aesop made his way around the fort, glued to your silhouette that spread across the side of the sheet. You held your hands up as you lay on the ground, arranging your fingers to produce a large shadow in the shape of a rabbit. 

His ears were filled with the sound of his two children giggling as they raised their hands in unison producing smaller rabbit-like shapes. 

He stood frozen, watching your silhouette dance as it produced shadow puppet after shadow puppet to the sound of your joyous children demanding more. He felt all of his pain and exhaustion leave his body and suddenly be replaced with love and admiration for you. 

He loved you. And he couldn’t wait to join in the fun.
