I've been a notorious procrastinator. Well, notorious in my own mind at least.
Last summer my folks were goodly enough to give me a large pile of dirt.
Hey, did you say that's more than I deserved? You cheeky devil!
It was to fill some holes and ruts ...

The Cure For Procrastination
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 26, 2023Fantastic Bestiary 12: The Na’vi
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Aug. 28, 2022
Another pop cultural fantastic bestiary Sunday. Anybody remember the movie Avatar? Not the kung-fu fantasy one, the tribal sci-fi one. The James Cameron’s Avatar as it was marketed. I still remember it being the movie that REALLY set the standard for what CGI technology can do cinematically, making this ...

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, April 17, 2022
Last week’s post of the Fantastic Bestiary dealt with housespirits of ancient Rome. In this post we’re going to the far east, following up on another suggestion left by DD member marcorossi. We are going to study the Naga today. The Nagas are a race of serpentine beings ...

Mundane Activities
Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 26, 2021
A conceit or gimmick on the series ‘24’ was that it took place in real time. One hour on the show was one hour of activities, and the 24-episode season covered the events of a single day.
As entertainment, I loved that show, and appreciated the gimmick of it with ...
Color Theory as a Rewind Machine (Revisited): Community Contributions
kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, July 26, 2021
The 31 May 2021 article related to “Color Theory as a Rewind Machine” mentioned how colors could be used intentionally as a way to transport the reader to different time periods. At the end, I posed the question whether anyone had ever used a specific decade’s color palette in ...
Shaking off creator's slump
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, June 18, 2021
The last few months have hit like a sledgehammer, leaving me with a profound sense of “slump”. That feeling of lethargy lazily tangled with a lack of motivation for anything creative. This got me thinking of ways I can shake off this heavy fog and step into the light of ...

Last week, while writing the article The Magic of Frames I was talking to PIT_FACE about it and she ...
