Happy Mother’s Day! I drew my mom a squirrel in pen and ink/watercolor to go with the chickadee piece for my grandmother. I picked up some frames for them at IKEA so that they look legit.
swish!
dumb stuff! (stuff that is too dumb for everywhere else)

Good Ship Chronicles
So I went ahead and collected the Good Ship Chronicles archive here on tumblr for anyone who wanted to browse through it again. It’s horrible and I won’t look at it but it’s nothing compared to the Spells & Whistles archive which I’m still compiling.

did todays strip search elimination challenge, for the hell of it.
In which we learn that 90 minutes is not much time, and I am not as funny as I think I am.

Quick karkat sketch in honour of 4/13. Maybe more later? I just remembered that I have a half-finished homestuck themed piece lying around, but I don’t know if I’ll have time to get to it today.

tbandido asked: Sorry if this question is super invasive, but I thought I'd ask: you work in robotics? I'm considering that as a possible career path (finishing my undergrad studies next year in ME); do you have any suggestions on how to get involved in the field, outside of research or interning at a group like Boston Dynamics?
Well, apart from postgraduate work, (in fact, including postgraduate work!) the best way to get into robotics is just to do it. I would recommend finding hobbyist groups, or people doing robotics stuff at your university. Maybe try to find a group entering one of the many robotics competitions and challenges around, and get involved with that. Robotics is best done collaboratively, but if you really can’t find anyone else locally, grab some Lego and an arduino and go nuts. Maybe pick up a book from amazon on fun things to do with basic electrical components and a micro controller (there are many of these, sorry I can’t recall any titles off the top of my head) - you’d be surprised what you can scavenge from an old radio.
if you want to do robotics as a career, then research is one path, but just finding a firm doing interesting stuff and applying as a graduate can also get you quite far. My current employer started at art college, and taught himself robotics from the ground up, because he likes making things that move. If you’re interested, and passionate, just go at it and keep your eyes peeled for opportunities.
oh, and national robotics week is this week, too! See if there are any events in your area.
