Fanbinding of New Paradigm - FFWAD 2024!

For the 2023 Renegade Typeset exchange @moonlight1314 gifted me the first story of the New Paradigm series back in December. It is lovely and colorful and includes the author's artwork as well!

However, I have immense fondness for the entire series and wanted all of it in one place. So I typeset the rest of the series and began plotting my first tête-bêche book.

My whole design was sparked from these amazing papers I used for the endpapers. I wanted to reflect on rolly-poly baby robots, and circles/star-bursts are a good way to do that.

From there I was able to find a lovely green fabric with dots and spirals to make bookcloth for the cover. These are my first covers with cutouts. Definitely a lot of work, but I like the effect. Something new in my skillset!

The tête-bêche style allows each typeset to shine on it's own, as each separate typeset still gets to start the book.

I wanted something with the feel of circuity on the cover, and also wanted to bring back the circles and indicate which of the covers to start with. This is my second cover using HTV: it turned out very well, but I am still learning a lot with every attempt!

This was also my first attempt at renaissance chevron endbands, which I like a lot! There was still the irritating task of securing the core to the text block, but that's done up front and then it's just sewing from then on. I really like the look, and maybe next time I'll be brave and choose more high-contrast colors to show of the pattern more.

Thank you @wearmanyhats for this delightful story! I'm so glad you are enjoying this fanart!

Every Act of Kindness Counts to Soften the World ~ Grow Empathy and Compassion

Kindness matters. Kindness is an electromagnetic frequency vibration that is contagious. Empathy matters. Empathy opens hearts to care for those around us as much as we care for ourselves. Compassion matters. Compassion is the pulse of the beat of the heart. Love without conditions matters. Love is the rose bud opening into a full-blown rose with attention to Peace, Joy and…

Let's talk about the Daleks

I love the Daleks. Really. But I'm getting really bored of the 2005 bronze Daleks

One of the awesome things about the Daleks in the classic series was they were constantly getting minor upgrades to remain the superior species. But aside from a few attempts here and there, NuWho Daleks have stayed the same for almost 20 years now. The New Paradigm Daleks were a great attempt to upgrade them, they just had a few minor flaws

I think everyone agrees they're too colorful. But imagine if these Daleks were all black or black with silver accents. They'd look awesome. They're bigger than the standard Daleks, they're more heavily armored, their eye stocks are menacing. They look like unstoppable tanks. But BBC heard people critique the colors and they course corrected too much. Instead of fixing the element people didn't like, they stopped using them completely and refused to see the Daleks redesigned ever again for more than 1 or 2 quick throw away episodes.

I'm not as big a fan of the Revolution Dalek design, I think they look a bit too frail and earthly, but I appreciate they tried something new. The color scheme on them is beautiful, take this paint job and put it on the New Paradigm Daleks and you'd have a 10/10 design. I also really like the reimagining of the sucker as this closed claw. It gives the same aesthetic but makes it look more intimidating

All of this to say, I appreciate the Bronze Daleks for what they are and for bringing the Daleks into the 21st century, but I think they've overstayed their welcome and it's time for a change

SCIENCE NEWS ALERT: Anew paradigm is emerging in cosmology suggesting that the Hubble Constant is actually a variable! Unclear if it is dependent on time or something else yet. Perchance it obeys a sinusoidal pattern, for repetitive iterations of the universe via big crunches and big bangs?

what a time to be alive

What a time to be alive

As we shift into a new world, new pov, a new paradigm

Where our feelings matter, our humanness matters 

Too see everyone

Question everything

To witness the old start to crumble

The shift in parenting, in children, in leading, in sharing

Why do you do what you do?

——

With change comes fear then hate

Decades of trauma, heart break

Manipulating motives

I’ve seen the brightest light after the deepest of dark

It’s proven the opposite must occur

The yin and the yang

——

Our specific souls being here gives me hope

Hope in humanity 

Women rights - Black rights - LGBTQ rights 

The list goes on and on

Human rights - Animal rights

On and on

Equal rights

——

There is no promised security, but illusions

There is only the security we have in ourselves

In a power greater

It’s a miracle 

It’s beautiful 

“We are falling through space with no bottom”

I applaud the baby steps I see turning into impactful powerful change 

What a time to be alive

Souldom introduction

What is it?

Souldom is intended to create a network of soulful people who can connect and form a network of creative geniuses. A new paradigm shifting collective where our creative ideas form synergy by coming together and have a blast. Playful and open way of flowing knowledge and skills between us. Let’s come together and create whatever we want to see in our lives.

From AI to spirituality, tech and nature, we take a wholistic approach to life and create our ideal outcome as conscious creators. Philosophical conversations followed up by inspired action. This is a new paradigm of holistic living. Become the part of this community of free thinking change-makers.

Our peer validated onboarding process helps you get to know the ecosystem and network of our community based lifestyle pack. 

Why Souldom?

The name itself is an acronym, coming together from two expression. First is soulmate. Find your soulmates and be part of something that isn't just another think-tank. Enough of just thoughts and ideas. It is time to feel and include our emotions and feelings. Let’s feel into a better world and only then plan it with our rational mind. What if we can unity our left and right brain and create and integrated approach to life? Let’s experiment together!

The second part is kingdom. It is a place, a ‘birodalom’ that is not just a land anymore (although it is also aims to protect and nourish land on a global scale) it is a 5D approach to create a time-space reality of community across lands and continents. An idea, a feeling, a united soul connects us. It is a land of the soulful. It is a soul mate-kingdom.

It's Soul-dom.

Our approach

Regenerative. Let's not try to make things even worse by trying to better them. Doing our modern life better just does more harm. It is time to completely rethink and redesign our approach to life. Let’s vibe into a vision that heals the planet as well as our souls. Then start masterminding the actual action steps to create a (REALLY ACTUALLY) sustainable lifestyle that

gives more free time

less hustle

more connection

less arguing who’s right

a wholesome nutrition culture

a purpose based IKIGAI path 

A spiritual connection to land and production

on-demand production

inner connection

getting to know ourselves and each other

get to know our real needs and wants and no what we have been conditioned to

Create an actually abundant life with less material things and more experiences

more connection

more true knowledge

Lets unite the best of the old and the new

A scientific spirituality

A life without secrets 

Embracing the mystery

Holding onto each other

Happy Holidays ALL. 🦋 While all those who attend church services this week, sit & stand & praise the invisible God they choose… Millions of Turkeys are being held hostage to soon be slaughtered for an upcoming “feast day” where every one of those church-going meat eaters likely sits down with their families, holds hands, says grace & gives thanks for their privileges, freedoms & blessings.

Light Energy ~ You Are Light ~ You Are Love

Imagine a glass of water filled to the brim on a table in front of you. Now try to add more water to the glass. The glass cannot contain any more water without spilling, but you try anyway to force the glass to take on more water. Water spills out of the glass and onto the table as you attempt to do this. There are reasons 18-year old students graduate and leave home to pursue further studies.…

DIZZEMBER DAY 9! OVERTURE!

Wherein I live out my dream of any new thing related to Overture. Prefferably, a Catan/Civ like boardgame... And we get some CRRRRISPY new Dr. Paradigm pngs- in fact, we don't need any other characters, just give me Dr. Paradigm. His gears. Maybe Izuna.

Here's the wordless picture which I made so cozy looking for no good reason? I think it's because Paradigm is in it. Hm. My subconscious at work.

Transcript of the images:

Dr. Paradigm: Very well, shall we review the rankings thus far?

Dr. Paradigm: Illyria is dead last, facing a crisis of succession with 3 sequential patricides.

Dr. Paradigm: And those two are taking it rather personally.

Ky: Sin... I understand.

Sin: Dad, no!! I never meant-

Ky: I trust that you only chose what was best-

Sin: It was just an accident!

Ky: Sin, it's okay.

Sin: DAAAAAAADD

Ky: mmgmfmrnmf Sin hang on smsmmfnmr

Dr. Paradigm: The Vizuel are second, having shown recklessness with their resources...

Ramlethal: I know this isn't the time but what's your candy production looking like.

Elphelt: Ram be more subtle about it

Dr. Paradigm: And as expected, with nearly complete control of the board, us Gears are first.

Dizzy: That said, Doctor Paradigm, don't these cards seem a little...

Cards: A bonebiter eats your resources. A bonebiter eats your geroppa forces. A bonebiter eats YOU.

Dr. Paradigm: There is no reason to worry, Queen. I was a consultant for this board game and these cards were one of my personal requests.

Dizzy: O-oh.

Dr. Paradigm: Educating Bonebiters is a most thankless, tantalean task...

My stances on AI & art TL; DR

People using AI to make art are making art

What AI produces can be said to be meaningfully copied from its training data

These two aren't contradictory and one being true doesn't mean the other is false
