    Nice! :up:

    Those two yellow lines got me puzzled because they are over the corpse and not under. It is as if they were painted after he lay down.

    Just a little doodle of a feeling I had the other day. The yellow lines are the double yellow lines of a road.

    Reminds me of the pothole formed by the Air Ambulance plane that crashed on the streets in Philadelphia. If ever a pothole could be symbolic of death, it's that pothole. May the crew RIP.

    If I lived in Phili I’d go paint it, assuming the country workers are as slow as the ones around here.

    (Martín Orensanz) @Arcane Sandwich and I (Javier Miranda Jiménez) are creating a fictional Antarctica. It has its own constitution, government, people, nationality, laws, etc.

    We are doing this for fun, and it is stimulating our imagination and creativity.

    I am responsible for drawing the new flag for our fictional Antarctica. I have three different samples, and only one will be the official.

    Feel free to comment on them. Either you think they are ugly or need something.

    Example n⁰1:

    Martin didn't like it because it has Japanese stuff, and the colours are out of place. I agreed with him because the point was to make up the simplest flag ever.

    Two new versions:

    Option A (plain and simple):

    Option B (Igloos are traditional Artic houses)

    I don't know about being out of place, but the colors in the first example are way too subtle, especially in the era of screens where different screens can be wildly out of calibration.

    Hey, praxis! Thanks for your feedback. We are still working on it. Drawing a flag is more difficult than I ever thought. Nonetheless, Martín found the following flag on the Internet. We think we will use it as a pattern or something.

    Final version:

    Flag-Creator.png

    - We cropped the land of Antarctica and put it on the upper left of the corner. I think it is a good idea when the land is drawn in the flag. It could be simple, but considering that Antarctica is a special land, it is worth having it there.

    - On the other hand: we have a red fish on the down right side. What is the meaning of a red fish? This was my idea, and it comes from Japanese heraldry. The red fish is called 'Koinobori.'
    Koinobori symbolizes hope for the future, good health, strength, and courage.

    It's the end of the world.
    Is it still here?
    I thought it was already gone.

    I love the word lunch
    It smells of sandwiches
    and stars on the walls.

    It's the end of the world.
    Am I a ghost?
    Can they see me?

    The lawnmower shaves the world
    but if you tried to put all the clovers back
    How would you know which way they go?

    It's the end of the world.
    It's fallen into a well
    The little people crowd around.

    My wannabe artist moment of yesterday afternoon:

    I had fun with mixing all the colours!

    From an infinite composition of complex functions arises "Reproductive Universe". Entirely unpredictable - an example of weak emergence.

    I also like really like that red and the shape is intriguing. This is a bit more sombre.Baden

    Interesting paint, Baden. As you said, is a bit more sombre and that shades of green, purple, gray, etc... makes me feel a bit of anxiety for being lost there.

    . It looks very like a painting, but it's actually a photograph. I used a long shutter speed and moved the camera to get the effect (rather than use post-editing / Photoshop etc). This method doesn't always work, but in this case it was meant to express pretty much what you felt.Baden

    I felt neither sombre nor lonely winter. The moment I saw it, it reminded me of asparagus -- I'm a veggie monster, so there you go. A still life.
    Notice how it ignored the roundness of the asparagus stalks.
