some wips of my newest project!

this one will have hair, maybe a cape of some sort, and possibly mechanical wings, but i'm not quite sure how i'll approach any of those things, so i'm posting her as she currently is. i've really enjoyed doing projects that involve both making the base sculpt and a fair bit of post-printing customization, and painting & adding details to this doll was mega fun to spend my weekend on. the sculpt itself just kind of happened; couldn't exactly tell you why she is a steampunk violin demon girl, except that it was what i found fun in the moment.

Song Review: Béla Fleck - “Rhapsody in Blue” (Live, April 27, 2024)

Béla Fleck was deep in concentration, his eyes nanoseconds ahead of his hands as he played “Rhapsody in Blue” on five-string banjo April 27 during MerleFest in North Carolina.

Performing solo the song to which he devoted an entire ensemble LP, Fleck both followed George Gershwin’s score and made things up as he went along. But the “Rhapsody” was never not distinguishable in Fleck’s playing.

And he made it look easy. Though his face betrays his hands on that score.

“Stop there,” he said with a chuckle at just past the theee-minute mark.
