Wood Engraving Wednesday

PAUL LANDACRE

Here are a few wood engravings by the well-respected California engraver Paul Landacre (1893-1963) from a biography of the artist, Paul Landacre: A Life and Legacy, by California writer and educator Anthony L. Lehman (1935-1988), published in Los Angeles as "Los Angeles Miscellany Number 15" in a limited edition of 500 copies by Dawson's Book Shop in 1983.

Landacre loved to depict the California landscapes as well as the people, animals, and plants that inhabit them. His life was filled with triumph and tragedy. His Wikipedia entry notes:

Landacre achieved a singular, mature style lauded for its formal beauty—meticulously carved fine lines, delicate cross hatching, and flecking—elements in white which strikingly contrast with velvety blacks. His prints, including the early linocuts, gained early and lasting critical recognition, were awarded numerous prizes, and are found in more than a hundred and fifty public collections throughout the United States.

His biographer Lehman writes:

The manner in which he surmounted a crippling illness that would have left a lesser man embittered, the close and durable bond that characterized his marriage and, of course, the consummate achievement of his art, fill me with admiration and respect. I regret that I never knew Paul Landacre, but his exquisite and radiant wood-engravings survive as an immutable legacy for which we should all be beholden.

Our copy of this biography is another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.

I wanted to show of designs I made for my au ss*ec! This is all pre-box 31 stuff so most of these won’t end up canon to the au. It’s a role swap au and they are above/below the character they are swapped with. Here’s some random info for them all (and some extra characters) Even (Nego): Gp rep, trying his best, the trainer drew a blank on name ideas so named him because he was an even number of eevees she hatched, has the darkrai “mark of the legends” Blizz: Id leader, treats every brotherhood equally, besties with bolt (tempted to make the ship canon to this au), silly guy Bolt: on the trainers main team so they aren’t there very often, non-binary (the trainer knows because they would lightly zap her until she caught on) Sora: Id deputy, wears the soothe bell as a reminder of Dusk before he lost his memory, thinks she’ll never find love because of Dusks amnesia, in her room writing most of the time, Miku is like Jay if that makes sense? Flame: Lf dep, doesn’t do his job, apathetic and smug, just chilling tbh Rem (eve): full name is compromise, just a baby Dusk: Gp leader, loves learning new things (especially because of his amnesia) Dawn: Lf leader (brotherhood change because Flame can’t possibly be leader lol), popular like og Dawn, eyes glow purple Tide (Vay): name changed for the same reason og Miku’s did (I don’t know it), pretends he’s a superhero stopping evildoers in Kalos, purugly is in the pokeball on his cape Daisy: so stressed please someone help her, stays in her room most of the time, has several potted plants in her room Bow and Oliver are role swapped, Dennys role is replaced with a character named Oddball (even and odd funny silly), Night is a glaceon named hail

Wonder Common Wasps

The common wasp, Vespula vulgaris is a species of wasp that is native throughout Europe and Asia, and has been introduced in New Zealand, Australia, and South America. These wasps thrive in a variety of environments, from deciduous forests to meadows to urban parks and gardens; the primary requirements are an abundant source of food and at least several months where the temperature is above 2 °C (36 °F) which allows them to forage. Nests can be found in tree hollows, crevices, wall cavities, or any other enclosed space.

Vespula vulgaris has a highly varied diet. As larvae, they are fed pre-chewed caterpillars, flies, spiders, and bees. Adults consume more sugary foods like nectar, fruits, and honey. They find these foods through their extremely sensitive sense of smell; the common wasp is capable of detecting minute particles of food via their antennae, and once a source of food is found the individual will return to the hive to recruit others by drumming their abdomen against the side of the nest.

Like other hymenoptrids, the common wasp is a eusocial species; each nests consists of workers under the direction of a single queen. When a queen first begins her colony, she does most of the work building the nest from chewed wood fibre and laying eggs that produce sterile female workers. As the colony grows, reaching up to 5,000 individuals, the queen begins to produce both female and male workers, each of which performs a specific task for the hive; foraging, caring for the eggs and larvae, feeding the queen, or repairing the nest. These workers are directed by pheromones released by the queen, which is delivered both by air and when workers lick the queen to clean her.

The queen begins laying eggs at the start of summer, in May. Larvae emerge about 5 days later, and spend the next 20-25 days being fed by the queen until they reach full size, at which time they spin a mucus-based cover over their cell and emerge as a mature worker. This cycle continues throughout the summer and early fall, with larger individuals emerging later in the season. A larva's place in the hive also determines its size; the largest larvae, which becomes the queen, is located at the bottom of the nest closest to the entrance. Multiple queens typically hatch in a season, but most leave the nest to start their own colonies. Towards the end of the summer, the queen mates with multiple males and then enters a state of hibernation until the following spring thaw; meanwhile, the workers either starve or are killed by the cold.

Workers and queens are fairly similar in appearance; both sport yellow and black markings across their thorax and abdomen to warn away potential predators. The primary difference is that queens are larger, at 20 mm (0.8 in) long, while workers are only 12–17 mm (0.5–0.7 in). Only female workers have stingers. The species is commonly confused with the European wasp, Vespula germanica, as the two look remarkably similar; the best identifier is that V. vulgaris has only one black mark on its head, while V. germanica has three.

Conservation status: This species has a large, stable population and is considered Least Concern by the IUCN. However, in areas where it has been introduced, it is considered invasive due to predation and competition with native species.

I hate hate hate when they make trolls have to leave their culture and customs aside just to go out with human people, I mean, troll culture is very harmful and should improve but, why the fuck do they have to give up everything just to go out with a human? Why the fuck do they have to leave the quadrants just for the comfort of humans? I hate it.

I don't mind humans getting into quadrants so much because there are actually real-life equivalents for some of them, for example the red quadrant is for couples and the pale quadrant is an equivalent to queerplatonic relationships that exist in real life. But anyway, we come back to the starting point, humans don't understand quadrants so this would be counterproductive due to our monogamous nature (because most humans are).

I don't think that troll-human relationships are imposible but man I hate the fact that one of them needs to forget all their culture for the other's comfort, it's worse that the people make this with all the troll-human relationships

Sometimes the troll is actually not happy with the troll culture and prefers the human culture

I understand that, but with every relationship? Man I hate it

Part of it is that some see the kismesis or black quadrant, as toxic and abusive. The only known other ones besides Eridan x Vriska would be Gamzee x Terezi and now John x Terezi. The former being a conflict in the continuing timeline for Act 6 and the latter because John going through depression as all his friends become a shell of their former self while Terezi still was still looking for Vriska. They don't apply it to fully on humans x human relationship because their tolerance towards pain, both physical and mental, is not as strong or insane like trolls have. People also see that troll cutlure was still built upon the hemospectrum aka the racist caste system. Keeping it apparently means supporting real life racism, when it doesn't. We also don't know either if humans (and Carapacians and Consorts) also participate or practice Alternia culture too. Let alone if they tolerate it. In both Meat and Candy timelines where it references Karkat eating beetles, Dave and Jade, the humans who were present seeing it, do not mind him consuming it. That begs the question of were the beetles FRESH from the outside or were they caught and packaged like it was a regular old snack? Even the chocolate dipped ones mentioned in the former could be interpreted as Karkat/Dave/Jade catching beetles outside and then dip them into chocolate sauce for their troll lover. Is there no food regulations on Earth C when it comes to bugs and insects being consumed because a troll's biology works different from others? What if a human wants to eat it or attempts to do so? Will they get sick? What measures would it take if they do fallen ill that it may lead to death? Can Consorts be affected? Are Consorts fine because they are mostly like animals? With bugs and insects being a trolls' main diet, does that mean all bugs of any kind are up for game for the trolls to eat? Maggots? Dung beetles? Worms? Does Earth C have measures for trolls not to eat certain bugs that would contribute to the ecosystem like bees and ladybugs? What about trolls using some of their own blood as condiments? Is grubsauce still a thing or not? It's technically cannibalism on the trolls. It's up on the air too on how grubsauce is made like is it from dead trolls or even dead GRUB BABY TROLLS if they fail to do the trials? Can grubsauce be made before a troll hatches? Like is it part inside the egg? Does it count as abortion? What if Kanaya wants to still celebrate 12th Perigee's Eve with Rose? Would fans imagine a human like Rose, decorating a large pile of monster poop in the first place? What if people like to imagine that instead of monster poop if behemoths don't exist on Earth C, they use other animal shit like an elephant or gardening manure instead? Is it insensitive to replace an important object or just as disgusting even with a different creature? Nobody wants to draw Rose and Kanaya decorating a pile of feces or admit that Dave is kissing a guy that would eat dung beetles for dessert.

Alright so there was gonna be a bigger storm. I was at my aunts house and we watch all the water start coming towards our house and a little got inside. Once we saw that we started packing our stuff and my dad was being really mean to me while I was packing. He was calling me stupid and said I never do anything right.

Next scene: we were at an amusement park, we planned on getting inside our car and driving through all the water because it was really high. I went on a little side quest for some reason and ended up seeing this girl who was finna abve a train ran on her. She was embarrassed that I saw so she tried to get the 2 dudes to fight me but I got away and made it back to my family. Me, my grandfather, my cousin, my brother, my dad and 2 random babies were in the car. We used a Rollercoaster track to get us started and it worked. We were driving down the road when the water came. I made sure to hold onto my window thingy to make sure it stayed up and it did. My window didn't come down until we made it to land again. Once we got to land the windows kept coming down on their own and began to get buildup snow on them.

Next scene: not entirely sure how I got here but I ended up being kidnapped by these people who ran a daycare out of the basement of their home. Me and another person who was taken were playing with stress balls trying to hatch a plan. They told us we gad to entertain the children. A couple guys got up and started performing a backstreet boys song and the kids were not impressed. I heard the people in charge talking about how the only way out was through the purple dinosaur tail, referring to a decoration on the opposite side of the room. Before I could come up with a plan duke dennis appeared and we were all on his stream. I'm not sure what exactly he was hosting but he was hosting something that required for prompts to be read. One of my friends volunteered me to read and I started freaking out. No way I could read while standing next to duke dennis. Then I woke up, the end.

Fuck it, a second Jurassic Park hot take: (movie) John Hammond is not a villain (Book John Hammond is an ass).

The biggest thing I've seen arguing that he's an asshole and JP was all his fault was underpayment Dennis Nedry. We have no evidence in the media itself that Dennis was being underpaid for his work. The amount that he is being paid is never named. We DO get a line from Hammond to Nedry about paying what he owes, but that always gave me more of a "I am paying you a reasonable wage for this job. The fact that you're terrible with money and can't sort your own shit out is not my fault or problem".

Which is a totally fine stance for an employer to have! Dennis complains about his pay not being enough but no one else in the entire movie seems to have an issue with their wages. In the book, once again Nedry is the only one. It seems to me that the takeway should be that "Nedry is a greedy asshole" and not "John Hammond was abusing his working class employees"

(Side note, Nedry is a greedy asshole, and is made out to be an asshole to animals and willing to let people die to make a quick buck. However his depiction on the movie as a slob, the whole falling down on the mud scene that leads to his death, and the general way he's treated in many of the writing decisions are incredibly fatphobic, and deeply not okay)

So let's go over what John Hammond DID do. He showed up to try and be present and available for the birth of each dinosaur (the fact that he didn't know about the hatching in the beginning of the film makes me think that wasn't the first time Wu "forgot" to tell him, but the man tried).

He brought back paleo-flora to go woth his dinosaurs, tried to give them as close to authentic habitats as possible.

He insisted that they'd want to keep the price if admission to the park low so that everyone could attend and see the dinosaurs. It was a vision he wanted to *share* with everyone.

He funded a first of its kind state of the art security system and isolated the park from the mainland so that in case anything catastrophic happened, the danger posed by the park would be contained.

He prioritized getting his grandchildren back once everything went to shit, and did everything in his power to help them get off the island (he's a fuddling grandpa, there's wasn't much he was ever going to be able to do).

All of this to say, that John Hammond is not a saint, but the man meant well and did his best to bring his dream to life, and then to share it with the world.

It's part of what makes me think that John, shows up for every dino birth he knows of, lovingly calls the dinos animals, clearly has this great sense of wonder about the whole thing, Hammond would have *hated* Simon, they're assets not animals, I've never seen this super traumatized death-dino before, what happened to its sibling? I have no idea what Henry Wu has been doing in the lab I put him in, I literally die playing Action Hero because I let the death-dino kill all my guys, Masrani.

Long story short, Hammond is not a villain. He's not perfect, and certainly makes some mistakes (add in some critical redundancy to your systems my dude), but he is just as much a victim as the rest of the cast.
