Feel free to add yourselves there. Show me your face, say something to me.

I cry, because I won’t be able to buy Pulphope until next year…

I’ve been writing and drawing all night. Before going to bed, I tought about checking some things online, see if there’s anything worth reading. I open my Bloglines feed, and I see today’s Journalista. One new entry. I start reading it, and Dirk orders me to go read this:

The title is promisory. “Abstraction” is a constant object of my studies. I download each page to the drive. Short thing. Sixteen pages.

I start to read it.

And I realize I’m sweating. Cold. I’ve just been kicked in the head. (Remember, it’s winter down here)

Do you know that feeling, that sensation that you just saw a piece of art that changed your life? That the thing you just saw represents on many levels one of your many artistic searches? One of the most importants?

I’m having that feeling now.

I should be sleeping, but instead I’m writing this as fast as I can, hurrying myself for having a registry of this.

Because, now, I’m not going to sleep. I’m going to read this a dozen times. And then I’m going to draw again.

Right now, I only know that I won’t be able to use the word “Abstraction” without feeling punched in the stomach.

I love how it feels.

Bang-Utot uploaded this essay on the Neurokunstlers Deviantart page. It’s in spanish. I don’t know how well a Google translation of it will come out.

But if you know spanish, go take a look. It’s worth it.

Matt asked for people to post pictures of their workspaces for a Flickr community, Deskset. That photo is from a couple of months ago, but it still looks the same (pretty much).

Right now? It looks like a WWI trench. Except there’s no shit and piss. But everything else, yes.

Writes about Icky Thump, latest White Stripes album:

“Bone Broke” sounds like it fell off of White Blood Cells. And it FEELS like it fell off of WBC too, and that’s a crucial distinction on this record. The White Stripes too often are sounding like the world’s biggest White Stripes fans, you know? They sound like the innovation and not the innovators anymore.

Here:

Expedition 14 flight engineer Suni Williams uses a digital still camera to expose a photo of her helmet visor during a February 2007 spacewalk. Also visible in the reflections in the visor is a solar array wing. During the spacewalk, Williams and mission commander Michael Lopez-Alegria reconfigured the second of two cooling loops for the Destiny laboratory module, secured the aft radiator of the P6 truss after retraction and prepared the obsolete Early Ammonia Servicer for removal this summer.

During her stay aboard the space station, Williams set a new record for the longest duration spaceflight by a woman, surpassing Shannon Lucid’s mark of 188 days, 4 hours set in 1996.
