Is this St Javelin?

Thank you!

I noticed a lot of companies (Coates for example) make their charcoal out of willow and I always liked those companies because they're really smooth and dark. A couple of weeks ago the willow tree in my back yard lost a branch so I broke it up into pencil-sized pieces and used TKOR'S paint can method for making charcoal. It was super easy and once everything cooled down I wrapped my favorite ones in painters tape and put the rest in a box! Here's a pic of the ones I used to draw that. I think the different shapes they came out in gave me a cool variety of different tools but I should have straightened some of them out when I was drying the branch.

I was surprised to see people don't do it more here. Lemmy has such a knowledgeable and supportive community and it's such a good place to go for honest constructive feedback

Thank you! I think this piece took me like four hours. And definitely give it a go! I forgot how much fun it is to work with

Actually looks kinda sick

Let's also not forget Lateral, which he said he'll still be doing and is quickly becoming my favorite podcast!

I watched one episode of Huberman Lab and the next day my entire feed was Lex and Joe. Then I watched like ten more episodes of Huberman Lab and it went back to normal

Edit: I did like the Lex episode where he sparred with Mark Zuckerberg though that was cool

Holy crap you're right. I like it better in both of those orientations. Art is crazy because you can spend hours every day painting something before someone makes you realize you've been holding it upside down the whole time

That image got really dark when I uploaded it, here's a screenshot of it for better colors

Oh come on everybody knows you have to replenish

If you prefer white chocolate to other kinds you just don't like chocolate that much, which is fine, but don't lie to us about it
