Here, have an angry leopard to improve your day! :P

This drawing is quite old, but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out. Leopard fur patterns are a pain in the butt to paint, but damn they are worth it in the end! I don't think I've ever posted this one here but I'm starting to lose count.

Some artists will paint on any surface they are allowed to paint on. #art #spraycanart #artists #barcelona #photography

That's how it is done: writing in your car, like Vladimir Nabokov used to do. Cars were much bigger, certainly on the inside, than today.

Rewatch complete of Ching Siu-tung’s gorgeous wuxia film. Filled with insane ninja magic, frenetic excellently choreographed fights, mind blowing wirework and a fantastic melodic score. The incredibly bloody and violent finale is an absolute all timer and stands the test of time!

simeon.netchev on Instagram: "The World According to Christopher Columbus c. 1490.This map reflects Christopher Columbus’s (c. 1451-1506) geographical assumption…" The World According to Christopher Columbus c. 1490.This map reflects Christopher Columbus’s (c. 1451-1506) geographical assumptions prior to his first Atlantic voyage in 1492, undertaken during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon (reign 1479-1516) and Isabella I of Castile (reign 1474-1504). Columbus relied heavily on the cosmographical ideas of the Florentine scholar Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli (letter of 1474), whose projection underestimated the circumference of the Earth and exaggerated the eastward extension of Asia. Although ancient scholars such as Eratosthenes (3rd century BCE) had calculated the Earth’s circumference with remarkable accuracy, Columbus adopted smaller estimates derived from later sources and conflated different units of measurement, producing a significantly reduced westward distance between Europe and Asia.By Columbus’s calculation, Cipangu (Japan) lay roughly 2,500 nautical miles (c. 4,000 km) west of the Canary Islands, within what he believed to be feasible sailing range for late 15th-century caravels. In reality, the distance to East Asia exceeded 10,000 nautical miles (c. 19,000 km). His voyage succeeded not because his calculations were correct, but because the American continents lay unexpectedly between Europe and Asia.map by 🐒 simeon.netchevpublished @whencyclopedia whe.to/ci/3-14664-en/

I'm reading, more or less at the same time, Samuel Delany and Henri Miller. There's no excuse for such hubris. But still I do it.
