My opinion on how school is going to be in 100 years time...
- Teacher: Today we will be learning about the start of the World Wide Web War on January 19/20, 2012, now turn to page 394 on your Kindles
- Student: My great grandparents fought in that war. On their Tumblr blogs.
- Teacher: You must be very proud of them
Two days ago, you guys stepped up once again to show the world just how much we care about protecting the Internet. Together, we generated more than 140,000 calls to Senators, spent more than 4,200 hours on the phone with their staffers, and blacked out 650,000 of our blogs to make our point and inspire others to get involved. And what’s more, this was on top of the 90,000 calls we sent to members of the House of Representatives a month ago. Incredible.
It’s now becoming clear just how much impact our action is having. On January 18th, only 31 members of Congress opposed these bills. Just one day later, 101 members of Congress publicly stood with us in opposition. We are being heard.
And as of today, it looks like both the Senate PIPA and House SOPA bills have been shelved, for the moment. It seems pretty likely that the bills won’t pass as written—a big first win. We now hope that Internet companies, the creative community and the content industry join together to innovate and devise new partnerships to combat online piracy. We’re confident there are effective ways to do this without damaging the Internet or diminishing our freedoms.
You’ve made a big difference in keeping the Internet a safe and open place for creators. Thank you again.
The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case.
Don’t Throw Away Your Markers
“This is just a quick and simple tip for artists who use markers to color their work. Refilling your own markers can save you money, and it’s easy to do.”
Oh my god.

SUPER USEFUL INFORMATION.

all my wonderful old gray markers
ALL OF THEM………TO ANY OF MY FRIENDS WHO USE PRISMACOLOR MARKERS

or you could use copics that are made to be refillable and whose nibs can be replaced… just sayin B) but yeah this is a good thing for people with prismacolors
I actually did this once, on a whim. I was halfway through a picture when one of my markers started to die. Worked wonderfully. Works with Copics, too.
OH GOD THIS IS GLORIOUS
Time to get out my Prismacolors again
coool. but the video is too long for such a simple instruction. >:|
This is Flathead Lake in northwestern Montana, USA. The water is so transparent that it seems that this is a quite shallow lake. In fact, it is 370.7 feet deep.
what… the shadow is like the same size this makes no sense.
^ yeah.
