I drew this image earlier this year for a birthday card for my big sister. She’s taking college courses on being a professional chef. She’s not interested in working as a chef. She loves to learn and loves to cook and so she’s having a great, if exhausting, time.
This image was the first time I tried making a gif. I’ve always enjoyed seeing other people’s art processes. Showing that process as a gif makes the evolution of a picture, from rough sketch to final art, look sort of magic.
“Personally, I would not care for immortality in the least. There is nothing better than oblivion, since in oblivion there is no wish unfulfilled. We had it before we were born yet did not complain. Shall we whine because we know it will return? It is Elysium enough for me, at any rate.”
– H.P. Lovecraft
Most authors are lucky if they are well known and widely read in their own lifetime. Once they die their work usually fades into obscurity. Some very lucky authors manage to write works that are both popular during their lifetime and remain so once they pass on. It’s a strange kind of luck to be an author whose work is mostly obscure during ones lifetime yet that work becomes relatively popular and well read decades after that author’s death.
Hello Howard Phillips Lovecraft. A strangely lucky man.
Those rocks don’t provide much sustenance. Time to go hunting.
Teeth evolved before bones. Eating has always been more important than going for a walk.
It’s a good thing worms don’t know how to organize.
