Tempting, although wouldn't that mean a lot of groves that are difficult to clean out and also the darker lines are achieved with a build up of wax in them.
The straight lines lost some of their wax, maybe it wasn't dry enough yet when rubbing it and also I think I should try using a cloth wrapped around a sanding block next time instead of a wad of kitchen roll. But this is initial experimenting so far on free wood that I have. Need to find some more, most of what I have is split fence posts which aren't great and it all needs heavy sanding from years of being exposed to the elements. Still, its free.
Coasters and placemats is my thinking, they shouldn't get as much direct food contact. A lot of wood boards I see that I could buy do seen quite thick for that kind of use case though. 1-2cm is quite thick, but the only thinner options I see are plywood, which could work but isn't the same.
Maybe chonky coasters could look nice though. Even add a texture to the sides of it?
last week i saw a person at uni reading a book on their computer like this. i wanted to take a picture but then i remembered it’s more fun, funnier, and more respectful to just doodle it afterwards :3
(Poorly) drawn on Android, via the FOSS app Butterfly (I don't use it much, but I recommend it if you want a basic FOSS drawing app to do the occasional doodle in)
Thanks OP for inspiring me to doodle this silly little thing. It's been years since I did much drawing, so it was fun to get out of my comfort zone.
My son drew his younger brother the other day. Now, I'm not saying it's a shitty scribble, but it's no Vermeer. I'll take this over any AI slop or those garbage NFTs because this little drawing will always be more valuable to me.
nothing triggers me more when I go on shitty youtube, and see a video for a videogame and they used AI to generate garbage when a literal in-game screenshot is free and 1 keystroke...
it's dishonest and I immediately assume the 'content slop creator' doesn't give a damn
I’m embracing gaucher and messier stuff in my graphic design work, because at a certain point it’s just my style and it’s not from a canva bot. Weird how like it took the slop-death of the internet to get some pride in my rougher edges
Kind of makes me think about how the rise of abstract art was a reaction to the invention of cameras and other scientific advancement. We’re arguably already getting cool art in reaction to slop (eg, all of ![email protected]), but hopefully it will inspire* even more
* is inspiration even the right word when it’s rooted in disgust for slop? Oh well
It has been amazing watching the transformation around San Francisco the past few years. Just a few years ago, all the billboard advertisements and conversations you would hear were about cloud services or big data. The whole start up grifting ecosystem quickly changed to AI everything. Now every advertisement is some stupid company that wants you to use its "harness" or "router" in addition to paying for your model access. Everyone is trying to keep up the same hype game but now everyone is just a glorified prompt engineer sitting between your money and a handful of AI companies. It's a very weird ecosystem to see a lot of people trying to sell useless shit to each other with Anthropic/OpenAI/etc in the middle.
And if you're some poor bastard just getting out of school hoping to get into any kind of job and you think being a prompt engineer is going to be a career path.. Just LOL

I drew on some wood a few weeks ago. Need to find some more wood scraps to try some more.
Cute :3 (I can smell that picture >.<)
Beautiful
One slop-free cat
I want this on a cutting board!!

You're doing pretty good!
I can get behind this.
I need to get a nice pen like this.
No, you don't. Because it won't be only one.
Ya that's 100% accurate lol
Well, then! Fuch you, too!

im gonna buy the smallest and cheapest one i can find just to go to my uni's library and read books like that
Painted these little goobers today, gonna make Christmas ornaments

Absolutely fantastic

Here's a little fella
Also:
Officer Kutalowski, the Anti-slop cop, approves of this post and it's comment section. Carry on Kittyzens!
I would read a comic with your anti-slop cop.
Oh awesome!
He currently lives at Funhole and has 3 episodes out (and a few scribbles here n there). More to follow.

Great job. Does he have a name?
Ofcr Kutalowski, anti-slop cop.
Drew this little fella for inktober

Henceforth it shall notte be forgotten
I am practising making cakes
I'd reply with the Patrick Stewart "Sexy Cakes" snl skit but unfortunately it also has Rob Schneider in it.
Still, sexy cake though!
I read this comment chain backwards and I'm SO relieved you were talking about Schneider
Yeah, it's a shame (although unsurprising) that he turned out to be a cunt
What could be more charming than a cake made with this much genuine feeling?
The best thing is that my fiancée made a joke about a cake like this, so I have been practising it for her birthday
The guys I work with have now enjoyed many cakes and agree that I have it dialled in perfectly
She's going to be so surprised!
That's so special, I love it!
What am I supposed to do with this, then?
straight to jail
"Shitty scribble" is a risky level of open-to-interpretation

Ducks' legs grow like ferns, branching and rebranching from the root
AGREED.

Spite can be a fantastic source of inspiration, so yes.
Here's a happy bowl of cereal
Same. Instant upvote. Those matter!
Say no to disinformation centres and yes to fledgling artists.
Sadly not true, people will tear apart the smallest mistakes.
Here's a happy chappy regardless
No, I'd rather see this than slop.
A very dappy happy chappy!

And the internet responds with buckets of downvotes for low effort posts
a while back I (not on this account) posted something like this in ![email protected] and people commented aigen pictures of napkin doodles :(
edit: actually i found the post and it was just one guy, maybe not all comments are federated to my current instance tho
John Frusciante's first few solo albums are so much better than any lifeless AI-generated music
Snail Mail's first EP Stick, which I believe is only on YouTube
Julien Baker's first band Forrister / The Star Killers, which you can find on Bandcamp
Red Hot Chili Peppers' first demo EP
The list goes on and on. They're not polished, but they're better than the polished turds AI makes
the family face is what does it for me. its what makes it feel human and not just represent whatever the internet thinks
=)
I aint looking to see either.
OK 🙂
This Limerick is truly atrocious
It doesn't respect the meter
Half the time
It doesn't rhyme
But at least it was made by a human :)
