 Oh OK. Just wanted to let you know that the post you retweeted did quote a real article on Florida's health website!  
 Sometimes you just want to forget you are in a city.

 Can't believe it's already Friday! Apologies in advance, I am not funny. This comic was just stuck in my head. 😅

 It wasn't specifically for a cassette but I'm sure if you use a bigger piece of paper it will fit the dimensions. This is how I made it:

 Night time. 

I slept badly because of a pillow. Now I feel like my neck is permanently crooked. 😫 it made drawing this so hard.

 Is it different from going to a persons profile and going to their relay list?

 Decided to do something different for this sketchbook page. Gotta make sure perspective is laid out first!

 #asknostr what is that document nostr app that creates spreadsheets 
 What?? 😮 what else does nostr do that I didn't know about?? 
 Oh that sucks. How do you mean half functioning?  
 Ooh I don't like the sound of it disappearing! That's unfortunate 
 It's really easy to make a #zine. If you want to make your own all you need is a piece of paper and scissors.
I ripped one out of my bullet journal

First fold it in half like a hotdog.

Open it up again and fold it in half like a hamburger.

Fold the hamburger in half lengthwise so it looks like a hot dog again.
https://image.nostr.build/59eb99f9bf4660b3b6efa9f18674a3ebd163bd95f4822f6d70627ae0c4b5f26b.jpg

Then unfold, to the hamburger. Take your scissors and cut to the center line. Not all the way through!

Unfold, and you can already loosely see it forming.
 https://creatr.nostr.wine/creator/content/60b7b201-ee85-4837-9200-08dda10dca59.jpg

Just fold it all together to form a book.
 https://creatr.nostr.wine/creator/content/08e3b551-25fd-44dd-9934-0b74729d3f6b.jpg

What I did was number each page, then unfold it and draw on it with everything flat. You can see the numbers in the lower right corner.

I've been wanting to make one for awhile. 😁it's just a bunch of random images I've been thinking about.

For those of you who don't know what a zine is, it is a shortened version of magazine. Its a fun snippet of ideas you can just throw together.
According to Wikipedia: a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. 
 Thank you! And agreed! I feel like its the kind of "underground/alternative" art form that fits anywhere. 😊 
 Thank you 😊 
 Nice. Did you make this? Or is this from an artist that inspires you?

 I feel you. If I have too much stuff visible I get overwhelmed.

 It is looking rainy outside.

I took reference from a YouTube video but I feel this fits the mood today. Sorry I forgot the name of the actual video.

 All of my follows are gone?

I don't know what happened... :( 
 Dang I keep hearing that others are having this issue every once in awhile! I wonder what causes this too.... I've heard mention of some relays that keep history of accounts. Not sure which ones actually work.
I have this one active. Idk what I'm doing though. https://image.nostr.build/7a7451da8e84a17fc2c0e8687d18aac7cc99b2ead59b57186d7685ef8133e10b.jpg 
 Looks very nice! And yea I can see a lot of research went into this! I think this challenge would be more like a monthly challenge or weekly challenge 😂 maybe you could make a calander  
 Perfect meme. I feel the same way. All the projects! 
 Tried out some forced perspective!

 Thank you! No its not for a storyboard, just to practice! 
 It's just a matter of perspective 😅 
 Thank you 😊 
 No, but good guess! 
 Stabilo brown highlighter and prisma color 90c cool gray  marker. 
 Yes with copic, not so much with AD. I have a set of 3 gray copic markers that I will use next, just waiting on my prismacolor to run out. I like to use things up to the very last drop. 😅 
 Nice, I did not know that! Thanks for sharing

 Hmm some good ideas 🤔 
 Always interesting to see other artists process! What mediums are you going to use?

I hope you have fun with the big canvas!

In this project, I'm trying a new way to make digital art. Usually, I draw a clear outline and then fill it with colors. But I haven't found my favorite way yet. Recently, I've been using a style where everything starts out sketchy and in gray tones. It feels more emotional, but sometimes the lines get lost in all the grayness, so I needed to go back and redraw them.
 https://image.nostr.build/5b9c32e6989ae4a98e124d29fe8ea554c3125bbfce6d2274788a003a1e918214.jpg 
 It's a good reminder no one really knows anything and the rules are made up as we go.
Watch, someone will find a flaw in this chart and confirms its much worse than we initially thought!

 I am not looking for a distracted audience to look at my paintings to boost my ego that will put ... 
 OK, I will give it a whirl from what I have seen.

You already have your style and process. I believe you could benefit from exploring different techniques or even mediums. 
I notice you post other famous artists work, I assume you draw inspiration from them. Maybe try adopting their techniques, or use of color and see how you can incorporate that in your own art. I am personally trying to do this as well. Because I feel I've hit a wall.
Also try playing with contrast, and the rule of thirds to keep people engaged. I think your paintings are beautiful but there seems to be only one focal point. It could be a fun challenge 
 Using an example you posted: nostr:nevent1qqst7qducuu0mdx57e53f3cay84g6em47v8v0hpvvkjpsxthgrhk59gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3q7nd4yu9anyd3004pumgrtazaacujjxwzj36thtqsxskjy0r5urgqxpqqqqqqzanv8c9

What makes this painting so appealing?

I see there are only 3 striking colors, with variations where the paint mixes. He only uses big strokes and shapes. There is hardly any rendering. He uses dynamic directions that gives the painting movement so there is a lot of interesting stuff to look at.

What I would try replicating:
Use 3 colors
Use big shapes that lead the eye 
Use dark darks and light lights
Make sure the composition is interesting 
 Here's what I mean. The way he laid it out has my eye moving all over the canvas and there is always something new to look at.

 Now if you put it side by side with a similar painting you've done you can see the differences. Its neither bad nor good. Its just interesting to see different approaches.
I put them both in black and white https://image.nostr.build/0c7351c996aabc4c331bc457beae8d7009e271752f96b088fa39bb48c51cc9ad.jpg

 Thanks! This is what I try to do for myself. I find art that inspires me and figure out what I like about it and how I can do it myself. 
 No problem!

 It is not out. I am submitting to film festivals first, and then online. Some festivals have rules where they don't like it if its already online 😂 
 Was in a garden and saw this little cozy spot.

 The audiobook finally became available! I'm still waiting on the eBook. But its a start. https://image.nostr.build/8199154599d6fe8fef12c3d32644f3dbd02deda51e7cbf35526d807f1bbf94f5.jpg 
 OK, how often did you want tohavee the book club? I think Wednesday or Sunday might be good days. Either early in the morning 8am/9am EST or in the evening 9pm/10pm EST. 
 Yea that would be a good time. But I don't think this will work out how I want it to. It looks like my audio book is already due in a few days and I'm only on chapter 2... The waiting list has like 19 people so I can't renew 😐 I can probably only meet tomorrow... And then wait till I get it again😓  
 Do you already have a book club Tuesday evenings?
