So, I haven't posted any actual pottery here before...


Well, this is my first post of any pottery I've done, but this is a cute sunny day cup I made out of air-dry clay years ago.

I normally keep random stuff in it, but I posed it with some of my crayons for this shot.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it.

'Cheese and Chocola's Oobleck Playday'


Cheese and Chocola are playing in a glitter rainbow oobleck pool that Cream, Tails, and Vanilla set up for them with their help.

As this is just corn starch, water, food dye, and edible glitter being depicted here, there's no harm in just leaving it outside to dry and disposing of it however from there, although the Chao twins' skin is going to be rainbow-colored for a while due to food dye's penchant for staining skin.

There's also a random bee flying around.

This was drawn in crayon and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Cream and Tails Make a Valentine'


Cream and Tails are making a shared Valentine handprint collage canvas. They're sprawled out on a tarp as given loose glitter is involved, that stuff is very messy and gets everywhere, so it's best used on a tarp if used indoors.

As such, there's glitter spilled out all in front of them, and also blue-violet and fuchsia paint that Cream and Tails are using for their handprints respectively, two bottles of glue with blue-violet and fuchsia paint smudged on them respectively, shakers of purple, green, and blue glitter, and violet red, bluetiful, and vivid violet pieces of construction paper that have had hearts cut out of them scattered all over the tarp as well.

Also, trays of blue-violet and fuchsia paint that Cream and Tails used for their handprints are in front of them as well.

This was drawn in crayon and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Fingerpainting Pichu'


Pichu is fingerpainting in her family's living room with some paints she got as a present in front of the door to her back yard. She had previously built a snowman and in the background is various artwork she made including a pawprint canvas she made with Dedenne, a family drawing of herself, Raichu, and Pikachu holding paws in a grassy field, and a tile mosaic that she made and signed with her pawprint in the space where the sun is represented.

This was drawn in colored pencils and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Frozen Tree Shadows'


I snapped a pic of some tree shadows against the snow (it hasn't melted yet) because I thought it looked really cool.

This time around I ran my Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens on the Lumix.

'A Snowy Pathway'


A ground-level shot of a snowdrift next to a tree in my back yard, looks like a snowy pathway for small creatures to be walking down.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a generic 35mm f1.6 manual native-mount prime lens mounted to it.

'Snowy Footprints'


A ground level shot of tracks in the snow outside my back door while the snow still exists as it's supposed to get above freezing soon so the snow will probably melt.

I'm still genuinely impressed by this no-name prime lens.

'The Snowy Morning'


A shot out my back yard from right at sunrise this morning, with the snow deep enough to make the road disappear at this point.

Given we didn't get above freezing, it's still there right now.

This was photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a cheap, no-name 35mm f1.6 manual, native-mount prime lens mounted to it, and this time I used a Polachrome sim because it seemed more appropriate for the scene being shot.

'Lawn Ornaments Buried in the Snow'


A shot of the lawn ornaments buried in snow. I'm actually impressed so far with this cheap little prime lens for actual photos as well as for digitizing art work with, nice job for no-name glass!

'Dead Twig after a Snowstorm'


A quick ground-level shot of the fresh snowfall, and also a close-up of a twig sticking through it because I thought it looked cool.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it, and it had a Polaroid PX-680 Cold 5++ film sim applied to it.

'Snowdrift'


A photo of my back yard after the snow stopped falling for the night; the entire place is covered in snow for the first time in four years and I love it!

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted on it, and I applied a Polaroid PX-680 Cold 5++ film sim to it, because Polaroid cold sims look cool for stuff like this.

'Fresh Snowfall'


This is a nearly four-year-old photo from the last time we got any significant snowfall here. This was also shot through an E-M5 which sadly has long since died from sticky-shutter syndrome; I'm still kinda sore about that as I loved that camera....

Also, this was from before HPS street lights started getting phased out in favor of LED replacements so there's a bit of an orange tone that I had to correct for.

I also used a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens adapted to it; the same lens I've been using adapted to an EOS Rebel T3i lately.

Hartman is an outed and proven grifter, this type of thing is on brand for him.


Yeah, I'm not surprised by this in the slightest, given Harman has a history of running grifts, see Oaxis.


-sigh- Why does Nick seem to have an attraction to people who are either creeps (Bill Cosby, Dan Schneider, John K, Chris Savino), grifters (Butch Harman), or both? I'd think a network as big as they are, or at least *were* at one point, would have standards with who they hire.

Dave Jones is fuming and very rightfully so.

Like I suggested in this vid's comments section, move to an alternate platform, either Odysee like shown here or ideally PeerTube, before Google pushes out all human creators in favor of their own AI slop.

'Pichu Plays with Letter Blocks'


A chalk drawing of Pichu playing with letter blocks in her playroom, spelling her name out with them. Behind her is a Pokeball inflatable and there's varying artwork on the wall.

This was photographed through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it, as since this was drawn on a massive sheet of cardboard (this is the biggest chalk drawing I've done in years), the Lumix GF2 with its prime lens wasn't going to work like it does with smaller works.

Hell no and Nvidia can fuck off. And MS too for that matter, and anyone else who pulls this crap.


So, Nvidia and MS want us to be nice to the massive scam that is GenAI because their grifts are deservingly getting negative attention for, well, being grifts.

*No!* As long as I still have free speech, I will be as scathing towards GenAI as I want.

@DFX4509B (Joshua Mason) I imagine Luddites felt the same way about the steam engine and later the internal combustion engine, but without it farms would not be able to support the current population and our streets would still be covered with horse shit.

Myself, I just bought an Arc B50 Pro GPU with the intent of getting LLAMA up and running on it.
