Yesterday I was walking past these minimalist design facades, more arid than the back of my computer, and I saw this Christmas sprout. I don't know if it's depressing or hopeful.

The first season of Dungeon Meshi is almost finished and I already miss another one for my lunches (I watch it while I eat). Chilchuk Tims is my spirit animal: bitter, cynical, sharp-tongued, and a wine lover.

Homoterio

I dreamed about this a couple of days ago: I was with some friends in the Plaza de Correos, drawing in a notebook this thing that I had dreamed (in the dream). I was trying to give coherence to the dream vision: the creature was clearly far from the evolutionary cycles that we know, and only appears to be something familiar. I have named it Homotherium, "mammal-like," because the wings were made of an interweaving of fibrous lamellae similar to hair or whale teeth, which formed a kind of dense felt. I don't think they were used for flying, more as a shield or protection.

The body, with abnormal musculature and skeleton, was hairless and whitish, with bulbs poking out everywhere equipped with chelicerae or small claws that adopted different uses. The face, which cannot be seen, was a featureless inclined plane; This undoubtedly came from a terrifying lunar cow that I saw as a child and was obsessed with (according to an engraving from the 19th century, one of the first successes of the Sun, which tried to sneak the news that Sir John Herschel had observed populations of strange beings in the lunar surface)

Una de las primeras inscripciones alfabéticas de la Antigüedad va de piojos

El descubrimiento de una peineta de hueso en el yacimiento de Tel Lachish (Israel) nos muestra una escritura a base de letras y un deseo que bien podría ser un slogan publicitario. ¡Y tiene 4300 años! Si bien la Humanidad lleva escribiendo desde el principio de la Historia -así nos lo explicaron en el colegio- los primeros lenguajes escritos eran ideográficos: dibujos de cosas o…

Los dos clítoris de las serpientes

Pseudonaja ingrami, una de las serpientes australianas estudiadas; su nombre proviene del capuchón al estilo de las cobras, aunque parece simpática. ERROR! Es extremadamente venenosa, como todo lo que se arrastra por Australia. “Ingram’s Brown Snake Pseudonaja ingrami” de Scott Eipper , licencia CC BY-NC 2.0 ¿Creíais que el blog elece.net estaba terminado?

It's a shitty day, also Tuesday the 13th (in Spain, it's like Friday 13th) but has his moments.

Last days of summer; a quick (digital) knife painting. Painting clouds is so relaxing.

Sea adventures, another experiment in painting with the tablet. Hot water attracts a lot of jellyfish and swimming gradually becomes more uncomfortable. I tried not to cheat and paint as naturally as possible, with a single oil brush (Kyle's). The only license has been to use layers because, well, it's quicker. It was fun! Both swimming and painting.
