So, you heard the good word that masks work? Are you looking to use that report to get back into masking regularly—because getting sick all the time is the pits—but there’s way more variety than way back in 2020 and you’re overwhelmed for choice? Have I got a shopping guide for you! With bonus infographics!

Here’s my little crash course in what to look for and how to determine the best fit for your face. It’s as easy as shopping for a new pair of jeans!

@stux A wonderful example of a 'vanishing point' for anyone studying art (drawing/painting/etc.) and perspective.

I miss Bob Berg. What an amazing saxophonist. He was only 51 when he passed away in 2002.
If you dig Berg, than carry the torch. If you are new to Berg, have a taste.
"Snakes" - Bob Berg - This recording is from the album: Remembering Bob Berg 2005
The original album "Short Stories" has Will Lee, Peter Erskine, Mike Stern, Don Grolnick, and the late David Sanborn (track 4), joining Berg.

Sketch of a skull… I think this is still in progress but we’ll see if I push it any further.

@rasterweb This would look great on a t-shirt. So many drawings of skulls are looking straight at them. Your rendition is cool because you have that slightly top-down and from the side view. Plus it doesn't have the lower jaw - that helps its uniqueness.

You know you've written a pretty song if guitarist Pat Metheny plays a cover of it. Here on acoustic is Pat's rendition of Nora Jones' "Don't Know Why"
Another song to put in your chill out playlist.

Gladys Knight! A Motown Queen. There is no pretense in her voice. No feigned stardom. She sings stories from her heart and we sing along because we know the part.
Her vocalese is not lost within a recording studio's archive, but captured and released for all of us to hear.
Thank you Pips. Thank you unsung musicians.
When we drop the needle on any given song, we feel the groove, and we know you're near. And yes, Gladys, it still moves us my dear.

I'm just gonna say, that if you are in your 40's and you've uploaded a "first time hearing a Steely Dan song" video with all of your "oh wow!" expressions, you have either been living under a rock, or you're a YouTube fake.
Who started this trend anyway? I've noticed no one - no matter their age - has not pulled this stunt with "first time hearing the Beatles {song title}!"

It's Friday! YAY!

It's getting increasingly difficult to fit all the dancers on to the screen & make loops that fit with ALL THE OTHER LOOPS (it totally stuffed the timing for this one) so next week will be the last, when I hit a year (!)

I like having a Friday Thing though, so will do any week there are volunteers, & probably just random dancers on other weeks.

As ever, have a great weekend if you possibly can 😃

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 51 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is an orange starburst sky, with a rainbow framing the top. 48 dancers are on the lines of the rainbow, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is larger, and centre stage on a cloud at the bottom, with a dancer either side for company.

@eclectech Well, a three-day holiday weekend here and maybe I'll get around to giving that move a go - and hopefully not falling on my arse. Blinds closed, of course.
