This one has a good story, I found this faded alpine landscape print literally in the garbage and liked the frame and wanted to paint something over it. But 3 years passed and I hadn’t done anything with it. Then it was my friend’s birthday, and I decided to customize it for him, so I asked him for his favorite color and quote, and it was red and this. So I made it, and then stood back and was flabbergasted by what I had produced. I tried to give it to him but he said that it was too forcefully depressing and refused to accept it as a gift, so I still have it.

That friend was a goon and the quote came from YOSPOS. Someone had trouble installing their modem and couldn’t figure out how to configure it and asked for advice and this was the answer.

okay now i like this one too

the other one was already awesome

between all the nihilism i think there should also be a chapter dedicated to the good jokes, because if this was all just the horrifyingly depressing stuff, most of us would probably give up

the problems are bad, but the jokes, the jokes are very good

honest critique: this is mixing up issues and doesn't really reflect anything that was happening on c-spam. what's the "goblin" referring to?

they are up

my wife saw Danil Tum when i was framing it and thought it was weird and ugly and wanted to know what it was for, so i explained that there's a guy on the trump thread who's playing around with linoleum prints and i bought some, and she wanted to know why and seemed a little concerned, but when i told her i just thought they were funny and showed her how they make a series, she actually laughed and said okay that is kinda funny BUT WEIRD and walked away

so i think i got away with it

check out this weird thing that appeared in my mailbox! i was expecting a canvas print, but through the eldritch magics of toormrp, it has transmogrified into a shimmering golden rainbow



the image seems oddly familiar, but when i try to recall where i've seen it before, the memory eludes me. no matter. it's pretty

Just trying to write text in a cleary legible manner is much more exhausting and time-consuming than whatever it is that I normally do

if you ever want to incorporate a circuit diagram in the book of cspam for form's sake, this is a "joule thief"



it boosts the voltage of a near-dead battery so you can still draw small amounts of current from it at the voltage required by your application

it's been the basis of numerous kickstarter and indiegogo scams, most notably the batteriser

and it's almost totally stupid because most modern battery powered electronics already have circuitry that do this and also you wouldn't want to do this to a rechargeable battery because it would damage it

finally got around to mounting my spectral sailor

it took a bit of figuring to find the right place, since below the trumps was too low to look at, and above was improper, but eventually i settled on the door

when the door is closed, i can enjoy his shimmering rainbow colors and ponder his strange diplopic message

when the door is open, he faces the disintegration trumps and tells them the bad news: he cannot save them, for there is only one permanent thing, and all else must fade and pass away

this got posted in the toooorpm therad and it occurred to me that you should add a few letters that are not in any modern alphabet to your calligraphy, especially in the Names of Trump

if there's a certain logic to it where it's often present in particular contexts, but also kinda randomly, it will drive future historians mad

when i was a young child my dad once took us to an art gallery where there was a painting that was a huge blue rectangle, all blue, and it was this kind of blue

it might have had some lines or shapes or textural features to it, i really can't remember

but it was this blue and it was defs hypnotic in that the memory of that color stuck to my childish mind and i can still remember it now, even though i've forgotten everything else about that painting

i tried googling around for likely possibilities but i can't find it or even the location where i saw it
