“Night Coffee ( Hopper went to Rapture )” by astoralexander: http://bit.ly/2F4uy0t
Would you kindly enjoy this homage to Edward Hopper’s mid-century works?
The strange works of German artist Sascha Schneider (1870-1927).
The Shaman (1901, image 3) doesn’t seem like the kind of fellow you want to invite into your life.
Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.
There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves !
Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source
Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I never see pro-hemp on my dash, woo!
Usually the argument on why you can’t have hemp is because then people will hide marijuana in it.
yeah, sure…. if they want shitty, shitty marijuana.
It would be like growing sweet corn and dent corn together. Yeah, they look similar at a distance and they’re closely related, but you don’t want them next to each other as they’ll cross pollinate and you’ll end up with bad versions of both.
Same deal here. a patch of marijuana grown in an open field of hemp IS going to get contaminated and it’ll lower quality of BOTH crops. Your hemp farmer doesn’t want that and if likely going rip out any patches trespassers try to add for same reason.
and the big issue is not even the THC content. Because most quality marijuana is intended to be grown indoors or greenhouses, its a dwarf variety. Short. Fiber hemp is bred for height so as to maximize fiber production. super tall. It’s going to be really obvious, really fast if you’ve got both in the same field even before you get to the point of pollination. what’s this runty bullshit doing in my field?
They also have different growing needs with regards to spacing, harvest time, etc. so the argument that you can hide marijuana in industrial hemp fields are basically bullshit.
anyway… aside from paper, hemp fiber can also be used to make earthquake resistant concrete that’s actually LIGHTER than conventional concrete while being stronger. It’s better at resisting flexing or warping, so ideal for stuff like bridges and highway supports as it’ll better resist large temperature swings and vibration. (”hempcrete” is slightly different, but makes great fire resistant insulation)
You can also use the waste after fiber harvest for animal fodder, including silage. Comparable to corn. and remember, that’s the waste after you’ve harvested for fiber!

It’s like “God” gave us the ULTIMATE plant and humans went “Nah, we’d rather suffer and make everything around us suffer, too.”
George Washington grew hemp. Pass it on.

i’m sorry but a well loved teddy bear or stuffed animal has powers beyond what we can comprehend
attended junji ito’s artist talk today and his literal advice to all artists/cartoonists can be summed up with “go to fucking sleep”

If this is true, then the cultural context of this is especially important. Death By Overwork is so much a thing in Japan - especially in the creative media industry, including video games, manga and film - they have their own word for it (Karōshi). Illnesses that could have been caught and treated earlier, if not for the expectation of constant overwork and the culture of shame over taking any time off for any reason, have claimed the lives of geniuses like Satoshi Kon and Satoru Iwata. And they will continue to take people’s lives, and rob the world of everything they could have gone on to create, as long as they’re not allowed time to take care of themselves. We will never see another Nintendo game with Iwata’s name on it. Satoshi Kon’s ‘Dreaming Machine’ will be unfinished forever, and will probably never see the light of day. Countless creators are working themselves into an early grave, and all it does is ensure their life’s work will be cut short. So listen to horror dad, fuck “crunch culture”, and take a fucking nap.
