First of all, I don't think there's enough words in the human language to express my sheer gratitude for how this piece was received. Completely unexpected, deeply warming, wholly appreciated.

Second of all is the matter of everyone asking me for prints! Sorry to seem so evasive about that question before, but I was doing a back to back convention circuit and did not have the time to devote to running a pre-order.

In short: I will be running a pre-order for a print run of this piece! I just need...a touch more time to get my life in order to get it set up but I promise it's coming (I see your very kind messages about it).

If you want to keep updated I have a Telegram channel where I post about my work, but additionally I have a Patreon where you can directly support my many endeavors. As for getting notifications about when pre-orders go live the best spot is to...keep an eye out here, or in my Telegram. I don't want to bother people by collecting their emails.

Rambling about Art

Out of all artforms I have historically been the most "precious" about music. Drawings and photography are so whatever to me. I used to have a huge hang up about drawing since it was my first art medium. I got into it while I was being socialized on the internet and it quickly became a way to receive external validation rather than a thing I just enjoyed, which was really unfortunate because I was very young and non-technical about drawing so none of it received a lot of attention in the first place. I carried this permanent feeling of failure with me whenever I tried anything new. I didn't really get over this until I started drawing more abstractly, which I also didn't do until I was exposed to contemporary and modern art. It's very freeing to not feel like you are stuck in anime girl prison, and it's wild that I ever even had that conception, but I guess it makes sense considering I grew up on DeviantArt and YouTube.

Photography for me is just going out and gambling. I barely understand lighting beyond flipping buttons and seeing what they do on the screen, so when I decide to take my camera out anywhere I'm just praying to the gods for good photos. I enjoy the editing part of photography more anyways, so I haven't gotten around to figuring out the more technical elements yet. Though I would love to start playing around with capturing motion! The idea of capturing things we can't see with the naked eye is really fun.

Music, though, is totally fucked up. It was so emotionally impactful for me as a child that I feel obligated for mine to be as well. That's not a bad goal in of itself but it's difficult to practice songwriting for practice's sake. I think the pressure is slowly going away as I'm realizing that modern success in music is about you as a product rather than the quality of your music, which is both bleak and freeing at the same time.

If you read this, and you have some sort of relationship with art, I'm curious what it is like and if it's ever felt stable? Feel free to share what you make too!

who's the scientist why r they eating chilis like theyre candy 😭

Super sad I don't have a picture of him grrrrr my coauthor never designed it, so just pretend he’s looks like this instead. 

The Scientist is a part of the very special and totally uniquely named group of semi-aquatic creatures called “Sea People”. The Scientist is (well yeah a scientist but like everyone else is too) kind of a nobody. Just a regular intelligent sea creature doing his job.

The “Sea People” area can be split into 2 dominions, they don't have names yet, but we can call them the Hippies and Scholars.

The Scientist is a part of this “scholar kingdom", that is driven in the pursuit of knowledge. They are VERY academic.

They kind of pride themselves on being neutral and unbiased (it's a fucking lie). They have entire cities dedicated to preserving, categorizing research, and making information widely available (except they don't share it with anyone but themselves fucking hypocrites).

Everyone is always on the scholar grind it's wild. The Scientist worked in the department for Genetics/DNA (or whatever the equivalent would be as they're not humannnn) and then switched over to robotics + construction and now he’s earning his degree in tortureeeeee. 

The Scholars would tolerate the “Land People", as they hate everyone and everything that is not from the sea... The water was already shaky *wink wink* but then...the Sonic Pulse happened, it was literally an "until the fire nation attacked scenario". The Scholars would welcome anyone into their kingdom as an exchange student. They really fw niggas who tryna learn.

But The Lord attacked their kingdom (almost killed everyone with her stupid sonic pulse) and The Scholars basically shut everything down and are now refusing to cooperate with anyone on ANYTHING.

A “fuck you and yo mama good luck on your own” if you will (they petty) as they need each other's resources to function.

The Scholars hate this limitation and are working diligently to be able to exist independently. But for now, everything is thrown out of balance (thanks Arlinda). 

The Scientist was originally sent to the surface as a spy researcher of some sort. Even though The Scholars are "beyond petty governmental disputes" and "don't engage with stupid ideologies like speciesism, classism, etc" they are still discriminatory asf in the kingdom

The Scientist is kinda a peasant and The Scholars see him and others like him as disposable (they literally eat the peasants).

It's not in his nature to argue or say no (accepting rules and authority is ingrained into everyone who lives there), but he is still really pissed about it…how dare they take him away from super important research!

He's rereading his favorite book written by some random from 200000 billion years ago while giggling and kicking his feet...

Going to the surface to be with the "Land People" is kind of a death sentence. The "Land People" have a reputation for being horrendous, bloodthirsty, dirty, freaky monsters. Not to mention The Rabid spreading like crazy. The Scientist hates being on the land so much but it's unlimited new information to learn...he’s creaming. (would never admit it tho).

He got lost in the sauce and after a while, stopped reporting to The Scholar that was assigned to him. Everyone assumed he died and forgot about him.

The Scientist doesn't care about fame and fortune, though he did want to use the new information he learned as leverage to get himself into more elite circles.

Which would give him access to classified or secret projects The Creators were working on. The Scientist also REALLY wants the meet The Elders.

However, as he adapted to "Land People" he found that he can survive comfortably there (so far) so now he doesn't give a shit about "Sea People" and is focusing on learning actual NEW information. 

(Since The Scholars hate "Land People" and think their kind isn't worth learning about, no one knows anything about them).

The Scientist still doesn't think they’re worth learning about but it's not like he's NOT going to record everything he’s experiencing while he's here. (He's obsessed). 

In a sense, you can say he turned on his own kind. While on land he quickly learned about The Lord and joined up with her. He’s only there for the resources and learning experience. During this time he came into his mad scientist era and hasn't left, so now he can go balls off the walls and there are only people who encourage himmm (The Scientist sees The Lord as his Elder so he is in awe of her, and wants to get closer to her. If you point this out he'll kill you).

The Scientist has a daughter, her name is Natalia, and she is an android (but not fleshy, she's full metal).

Natalia is reminiscent of a porcelain doll (and she's also the fucking Terminator) he made Natalia at the request of The Madam.

The Madam wanted to make the humans they captured feel safer and at ease but boi that does NOT work. 

(He also has a second daughter her name is Pheobe, The Doctor made Pheobe as a "warning" to all humans who disobey or cause trouble. Pheobe is kind of like a Frankenstein blob creature. Her and Natalia are sisters!! Natalia hates her <3) 

The Scientist is always fighting with The Madam about Natalia. 

The Scientist: "You know nothing about technology, I am not changing its primary programming. This weapon was made to provide security to the base. You will not adorn it with useless trinkets. Leave my lab, now." The Madam: "...you...you stupid fuck...what are you talking about???? i PAID you to make her FOR MEEEE!!! I AM YOUR SUPERIOR!!!"

The Scientist hates her <3 

His personality is almost non-existent mostly because he never had a chance to develop one (lame ahh nigga) but he gets irritated easily (especially being on land).

So he’s very mean and doesn't fuck around, if you’re not behaving within the first 2 seconds of meeting him he'll put you in time out (the electric chair) but out of all the creature he’s the easiest one to become friends with.

As long as you word whatever you want to do as a new learning experience he'll stick around. 

He gets a lil sillay after he leaves the kingdom and is no longer constantly watched to maintain societal expectations.

A lot of the information gathered by The Scholars is learned by observing rather than experiencing.

Being on land kind of…changed him and now he’s a little reckless. (the chaos of the land is getting to him possibly maybe?)

Think Brave Wildness and how the guy lets himself get stung or bitten and ranks them. Or the video of the girl eating the black death candy?

Yeah, that's something The Scientist would do too :)

So to answer your question...

The Scientist: "wtf is a chile?? Wtf is chile oil??? It is spicy? How spicy?................ Uh so is anyone going to taste and meticulously record each of thes-"

sorry for typos oof

[whats-in-a-sentence]

An electron, for instance, can be thought of as a particle – one that can leave a dot on a phosphor screen, as in Figure 4.4 – but can (and must) also be thought of in terms of a waving field, one that can contribute to an interference pattern on a phosphor screen as in Future 4.3b.³

3. One difference between force and matter fields is expressed by Wolfgang Pauli's exclusion principle. This principle shows that whereas a huge number of force particles (like photons) can combine to produce fields accessible to a prequantum physicist such as Maxwell, fields that you see every time you enter a dark room and turn on a light, matter particles are generally excluded by the laws of quantum physics from cooperating in such a coherent, organized manner. (More precisely, two particles of the same species, such as two electrons, are excluded from occupying the same state, whereas there is no such restriction for photons. Thus, matter fields do not generally have a macroscopic, classical-like manifestation.)

Yo I did one of dem art summary thingys! And I’m proud of the progress I’ve made this year! I’ve done a lot of cool pieces.

Haha, I think it’s funny how the year started with Luminary and ended with Luminary (I did not do that on purpose—)

completely absurd how they're trying to repeal laws about nosocomial infections, repeal protections, make it harder for people to sue. and have the audacity to blame patients who sue for rising medical costs.

I'm Jewish, but I'm glad y'all have starting making communion more extra!

Hey Wolfy,

guess what I found at work today.

I'd like to know who thought this cookie cutter to be good idea, like, what was the thought process behind it?

God forbid I want to eat a cookie in the shape of Jesus on the cross

[gayvampyr]

asking people to be mindful of others when sharing a communal space (especially one you cannot just up and leave from) is not selfish or misanthropic. come on now

[pinkponygrl]

need to string together my thoughts more on this but reeeeeally interesting to see the influx of media - severance, the substance, mickey 17 - centered on the idea of a double/expendable iteration of yourself.

the dehumanization of workers by the way of non-livable wages, unsafe working conditions, and identity based discrimination (and the current removal of dei initiatives), all drive a wedge between our personhood and the value we are prescribed as a member of the workforce. something something the effects of ai and deepfakes already putting people in danger, the way we live and present our lives online vs in reality, there’s a lot to unpack here. but it’s fascinating to see this trope so widely translated as a storytelling vehicle for these ideas, and that this is the story that people are interested in telling.
