Main photo, Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis) Pups by Ian White

Fun fact!!- I was inspired to hunt out my sample of Hyraceum which is a tincture of hyrax urine (a jelly like substance which is deposited in communal 'latrines' in rock clefts or caves)

Hyrax with Two Babies, by Eric Kilby

The latrines used by the hyrax colonies can be over a thousand years old and have many layers, the oldest layers dry out and fossilize (apparently this is where my sample originates and the urine could have deposited up to 10,000 years ago!)

Harvesting fossilized Hyrax piss!

Now my sample was bought maybe 10 years ago and has aged really well. First off it doesn't smell like piss. It is rich and leathery- definitely of animal origin. It's actually very nice, and quite sensual, very old world and not a scent note that you'd find in modern 'clean' perfumes.....

....well there you go folks! I shall enjoy my Friday evening wearing Hyrax piss (and probably the rest of the weekend as it will most likely linger in my pores after several washes)

an ode to rust 'n crust and the tooth of time - HTT! by lunaryuna

Detail of an amazingly beautiful decay scenario on a epdestrian iron bridge in Wales in the outskirts of Port Talbot. I thought that rust and nature had done an impressive job to create some involuntarily art work :)

I love Reedy's work too, he has an incredibly large selection of film/comic/manga prints to explore. I could just post his work everyday and not get bored of it..... and thank you for the feedback 👍

....I hope I am not coming across here as being too extreme...

Not at all, you've basically summed up how I feel, plus added something I hadn't considered which is what would happen if I was banned from .ml for a post or comment. I've got a few days holiday to have a think about it all and also ask the community... I don't want to make top down 'executive decisions' without consultation

Cheers 👍

Get yourself a camera and have some fun!

Even if you do nothing with your photos, being out and about and thinking visually, looking for ideas, is all part of it and you can find different things in your environment... weird little nooks and crannies, bugs, interesting texture, it's all there to be discovered

In the mean time, you can still get some quality photos with a phone camera, plus its usually always accessible, and can also be a 'visual diary' of places and photos you want to take with a better piece of kit

Go out there, and enjoy yourself 😀

Nice photo! 👍

Yep, it's something that has occurred to me, I've got an idea of which instance and all that, but I'd probably need to speak with the admins. I don't know whether communities can migrate over posts/comments etc and part of me is reluctant to leave all that behind... BUT, I've done it once from scratch, so it's not impossible

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

I have mostly refrained from posting political art, even though I do really like a good caricature (I grew up on Spitting Image, and other British satire progs), and also political art is, well... art

But, people come to see the nice pictures and chill out for a bit, which is fair, and it's good to have that as a community

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

I can now hear in my head the rhythmic sound of it on the turn table just before the music kicks in...

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

It's a really nice image isn't it? I do like a nice pop of colour and some sort of crunchy texture to go with it 😀

[–] quinacridone@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Nice video, it's always good to see someone with the critters to get a better idea of scale

Can you imagine though, how terrifying they'd be if they were the size of a python or anaconda?

Sweet dreams my friend....

This is something that that bothers me..... I joined lemmy.ml around 3 years ago as one of the pirate subs on reddit made a backup community there in case they were banned.

Fast forward to the api debacle, I started to use lemmy as a permanent alternative, and made 3 of my favourite art communities- abstract photography, collage and printmaking

It's always been in the back (and sometimes the front of my mind) whether to move them elsewhere, partly because people commenting on their 'blanket ban' of lemmy.ml, and the fact that I sometimes feel that I'm on one of the 'pariah' instances.

It's interesting reading the comments here, especially considering the art communities are laid back, without politics, and haven't had any issues (so far).....

I was surprised to see a new comment on such an old post... hope you're enjoying the 'archive'
