Digging Water—Grey Stone 2024

photo credit: Jason Walden

Grey Stone Sound

After much introspection, I've decided to start uploading little GarageBand projects I mess around with.

Although I don't really make music as much as I "find" it, there are some pieces where I use a midi controller, AKAI MPK mini Mk3, and create my own sounds. But many are simply loops and samples that I put together like an audio puzzle.

Please enjoy.

All photography, artwork, logo, and video are, of course, original work except where noted.

This particular one was inspired by the Makah canoes in the PNW (where I live and get most of my inspiration), racing through the ocean waters. Watching them paddle with such determination, digging through the water while becoming in sync with the ebb and flow of the waves. It was like witnessing a dance.

i started a supercorp portrait of a lady on fire au like three years ago. i'm never going to finish it, but the writing style is pretty cool, so i want to share it. so um enjoy the prologue and a bit of chapter one?

Prologue. Bonnelles, France. 1786.

“First, my contours,” Kara said, her voice soft and level. She looked out upon the dozen or so young women, their eyes darting back and forth from their papers to Kara herself. “The outline,” she continued. The increasingly swift sound of scratching charcoal prompted Kara to further instruct, “Not too fast. Take time to look at me.” She paused. “See how my arms are placed.”

At that moment, Kara saw the painting.

She swallowed and took in a breath; she schooled her expression before letting out the air with a pathetically soft “My hands.” Her students’ gaze followed her verbal direction, now observing as Kara’s fingers curled with remembrance. Their own hands now began to sketch the slope of hers—the slope that had once coaxed breathy moans from a lover, the slope that had once created that very painting in all of its hollow longing.

Kara felt her heart rate accelerating, and her attempts at calming deep breaths only made her shoulders shake unsteadily. “Who brought that painting out?” Her eyes darted around, landing on each possible offender, as she tensed her core and adopted a stern countenance.

Every student dutifully turned to look at the work.

It was an especially young girl who finally lifted her hand. “I brought it. From the stock room. Should I have not?”

Kara’s “no” felt like a brick, its weight threatening to pry tears from her reddening eyes. So Kara took another swallow, a handful of blinks, a few more steadying breaths.

“Did you paint it?” the girl asked innocently. Nia, her name was? She stared at Kara, oblivious to the flood of sound overwhelming Kara’s mind and echoing in the cavern of her heart.

“Yes,” Kara uttered softly, the word barely audible as they fell from her lips. “A long time ago.”

Nia’s head snapped back to examine the painting once more. It stood on an old but sturdy easel, tattooed and scarred but still standing. The artwork itself was brooding, with a white sun bleeding into a dark vignette. Heavy clumps of clouds occupied the sky and caged some of the sun’s rays, so the fire burning behind the woman was bright enough in comparison to create a dragging shadow of her figure. The flames crawled up the back of her windswept dress, bringing sharp tension to an otherwise lulling, melancholy landscape.

“What’s the title?”

The sound of the sea began to swell in Kara’s head. Her lips trembled. Her body unwittingly swayed slightly. “Portrait of a Lady on Fire.”

---

Chapter I. The island of Brittany, France, and the surrounding sea. 1779.

Kara squinted into the distance, her face scrunching up a bit as she desperately tried to shield her eyes from the harsh glare of the sun on the water. For all its gorgeous teals and sparkling peaks, it certainly did make her wish for one of those brimmed hats the rowers were all wearing. With every one of their paced paddles, the cork-like little canoe bobbed haphazardly. Kara rather felt as if she were in the wine glass of a thoroughly drunken Marie Antoinette.

At least she wasn’t prone to seasickness.

She still felt quite unsteady, though, being thrown about and forced to pathetically grab onto the boat’s low walls. She leaned forward, trying to regain her balance and ground herself despite the absence of ground.

The wooden pallet holding her canvas was, apparently, as unstable as she was, and the next thing Kara knew, it had been lurched off of the boat like vomit from a drunkard. Kara watched helplessly as it thrashed among the choppy waves, the sea carrying it a few feet from the boat.

The chief rower met her desperate look with exhausted resignation; he ceased his paddling as Kara shed her overcoat and placed a precarious foot on the edge of the canoe.

With a strained creak from the boat’s wood, she jumped into the water, dress billowing behind her. Her first gasp for air upon emerging from the water was audible; she could feel the effort in her throat. Her arms moved in laborious little arcs as she slowly made her way towards the floating pallet and finally made a desperate reach for it. Kara’s fingers grasped onto a wooden board, and she pulled herself up onto it with a grunt.

---

The incessant wind upon the sea was certainly not helping Kara. Dripping wet, she wrapped herself up in her overcoat in a pitiful plea for warmth. She held the edges of the garment up to her lips, the sensation of the dry fabric bringing her some comfort as she closed her eyes and left herself to the mercy of the mighty sea.

But the interminable rocking of the feeble boat wouldn’t allow her any rest.

Kara wasn’t very religious, not anymore. Yet, the sight of the cliffs and coast of Brittany moved her to relieved prayer.

---

The sun had already begun to set as Kara trekked up the sandy coast. Her legs ached with every stumbling, unsure step—maybe she was a bit seasick after all—and her hands were tired of having to grip her full skirt to keep it out of her way.

She paused on the rocks, taking a moment to manually wring some of the water out of her skirt. She filled her lungs with an arduous breath before slinging the rope holding the pallet over her shoulder. Next came the fabric sling, which housed her trunk of personal items—she positioned it on her back with careful poise.

The journey up the cliffs and towards the trees was exhausting. Kara’s skirt required repositioning every few seconds, the rope was digging into her shoulder, and the pallet and trunk slammed into her back with each wobbling step. By the time she reached the straight path up to the residence, her breaths were heavy and pained, and the sun was nearly fully hidden beneath the horizon.

A soft light emanated from the windows above the mansion’s door, helping Kara feel a bit more secure as she knocked. A short blonde woman answered her summon and introduced herself with a flat “I’m Eve.” She opened the door a bit wider and gestured with her body for Kara to come in.

Eve held a small candle as she guided Kara up the stairs, the sounds of their shoes echoing through the grand yet starkly undecorated hallway. The walls of the stairwell were cement bricks, and the wrought iron bannister was rather plain and geometric.

They came to a stop in front of a similarly void room, bare save a few heavy curtains and a daybed. The raised panels along these walls matched the white-painted wood of the window frames, and they gave the chamber some elegant character.

While Eve entered the comparatively less intimidating room, Kara stayed back a moment, taking in the shafts of muted blue light from the windows and the contrasting warm glow of leaping flames from the central fireplace.

Eve crouched down to poke at the fire as Kara set down her belongings. “It was a reception room,” Eve explained. “Though I’ve never seen it used.”

The fire crackled pleasantly. “Have you been here long?” Kara inquired.

“Three years,” Eve answered, directing her attention back to the fire.

Kara peeled off her overcoat and draped it along the wainscoting. “Do you like it here?”

“Yes,” Eve said simply as she stood up. She turned to Kara, meeting her eyes now as her hands smoothed over her skirt. “I’ll let you get dry.” And with a nod, she was on her way.

Kara watched her every step.

Once the door closed, she hastily began removing her overskirt. It fell to the dark herringbone floor with an unglamorous thud.

---

There was no method or grace to the way Kara wrapped her hand around the rusting crowbar, but with a few jerks, she’d managed to successfully pry the top off of the pallet.

After setting down the wood cover, Kara extended her hand, letting it fall clumsily onto the slick canvas in front of her. It was still wet, and her hand’s small circular movement caused moisture to pool at her fingertips, as if her touch had beckoned the water. So her hand withdrew, and Kara slid the canvas out from its container. Her eyes danced over the surface as she considered how to dry it, holding it in front of herself like the Communion host of an evening Mass.

---

Kara decided to accompany her drying canvas, which was now positioned next to the fireplace. Stripped naked, she sat in front of the fire and pulled her legs towards herself—she was vulnerable, sitting there bare and in a new environment, and the action made her feel a bit more small, compact, and safe.

Kara set down her candle so she could light her tobacco pipe with the flames. Her large, smoky exhales grounded her, in a way, with the familiar sight and smell acting as a sort of sedative. And she stared forward, expression blank but unmistakably worn.

---

Kara walked barefoot along the cement floor, making her way through the hall and to the pantry room wrapped in nothing but her robe-like smock.

finished Moby-Dick at long last. fantastic stuff; it genuinely is that good. i will have to revisit Melville sometime, The Piazza Tales and The Confidence Man both sound very interesting.

really fascinated by the book's running commentary on race and "savagery"—particularly the way Melville likes to quietly suggest an equivalence or reversal between supposed "savages" and the "civilized". the parts that stick out to me the most are the numerous times he describes the harpooneers chilling out while the white sailors are arguing/making fools of themselves and the bit where Ishmael refers to Albrecht Dürer as a "Dutch savage" and (correctly) implies that a carved Polynesian canoe paddle is as beautiful and important an artwork as Melencholia I

Some Kataoka hcs

🏊🏻‍♀️She likes to go to the pool at her local recreation center a couple times a week during the summer to practice her swimming

🏊🏻‍♀️Although she prefers to swim in pools and beaches, she enjoys spending time doing other water activities at the other places too like kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding at lakes and rivers

🏊🏻‍♀️She goes out to a lake in the weekend mornings to paddle board, maybe study by reading a textbook, or just reading some magazines while out in the water

🏊🏻‍♀️She loves to drink any flavor of tea. She’s not to particularly picky when it comes to tea. Though she HATES coffee. The smell of it gives her a headache and always wonder why theres hype about around it. Isogai, who I hc is a big coffee drinker, likes tea too (even green tea) but isn’t really his go to drink. If these two hang out, sometimes they’ll have friendly debates on which beverage is better.

🏊🏻‍♀️I can see her taking a interest in yoga from Okano. Maybe during their 1st year, Okano told her she took some yoga classes for a little while before gymnastics. Kataoka gave it some thought but when 3rd year rolled around, the thought kinda went away due to her being the class representative with so many duties. And ofc enter Korosensei

🏊🏻‍♀️Eventually, during high school, she signed up for yoga and she quite liked it. It sort of helps her relax from the cramming in her studies

🏊🏻‍♀️Her fashion sense is classy but chic (I’m doing an artwork on that I’ll post on her bday 😉). But she doesn’t like wearing skirts and dresses that much. She doesn’t want to wear anything too girlish

🏊🏻‍♀️Her favorite gemstone is a pearl. She has quite a few of pearl jewelry she likes to wear. She just thinks they’re the prettiest thing to exist.

🏊🏻‍♀️She likes to go shopping with Okano, Kanzaki, Yada, Kurahashi and Kayano. Kataoka likes to shop for clothes that are more her style like high rise pants, blouses with buttons, those kind of things. But Yada and Kurahashi dare her to try on a cutesy dress so Kataoka hesitantly gives in but she won’t purchase it

🏊🏻‍♀️Now as for her femininity, that was the one thing she was self-conscious about. But the older she gets, she doesn’t care what people say about her anymore. She starts to feel comfortable with her own skin and not worry about how tall or tomboyish she may look. She likes who she is and doesn’t want to change that

🏊🏻‍♀️Her favorite color would be pastel blue or teal. She thinks they’re soft and not too straining to look at. Plus they are the beautiful colors of marine life, which is something she loves

Maid of the Mists ~ digital artwork by Daniel Eskridge

artist note: 

"Maid of the Mists" An American Indian woman stands in a canoe and turns to look nervously back as if someone may be following her. She holds the a paddle in her hand as she peers back into the forest through which the creek she travels on runs its course. A dense fog enshrouds the forest, mists that obscure the world around her. This image is based on the Native American legend of Lelawala, the Maid of the Mists. In the Iroquois story, Lelawala is forced to marry a king that she does not like. Rather, she is in love with the Thunder God He-No who lives in a cave behind the Horseshoe falls (part of Niagara Falls). She escapes her husband and paddles away on a canoe and over the falls where He-No catches her so that their spirits could live together beneath the falls. I've taken a bit of artistic license and depicted her travelling down a small creek. The Niagara river is actually quite wide. However, I wanted something more in the composition other than just water and sky. Perhaps this is the beginning of her escape and she is starting on a small tributary of the river. While I based this on the story of Lela Wala, I actually was inspired to make this after watching the movie "Mr. Turner" about the famed English painter J.M.W. Turner. I liked the way he combined light with fog and atmosphere. It made me want to create an image where the atmosphere dominated the scene. I made this artwork using digital rendering (CGI) techniques as well as digital painting techniques. Thanks for looking! Daniel Eskridge

Tbh from strictly technical perspective dalish elves did appropriate vallaslin ... strictly technically. They had no idea what it was for or why, only that it was elven (thanks Solas) so they took it. From wider standpoint of what happened, they were desperately trying to reclaim and rebuild their lost culture and this was the best they managed (and they did good job) and by the point of Dragon Age vallaslin is inherent to their culture. That's what one gets if they do not look at context.

Except you can’t appropriate from YOUR OWN PEOPLE.

Look, here’s my Indigenous perspective on this, which call me crazy, but I think is pretty damn valid…

These are examples of the Wabanaki Double-Curve:

Well at least a few Mi’kmaw examples; there are many variations and further uniqueness among the different Wabanaki peoples, but they all feature the same general look. They are sometimes called the Mi’kmaq Double Curve and Penobscot Double Curve, but in reality they were not just a design element from my people or the Penobscot, but among all the Wabanaki Confederacy.

They are frequently found on artwork and ceremonial clothes/regalia, and are known as a cultural identifier. Most notably among the Mi’kmaq is on our traditional peaked caps for women of high regard.

When beading and stitching, the designs implemented are not for ornamental sake. The designs, the colours, the materials all had meaning, and that is why these clothes were mostly for ceremonial purposes and not everyday wear. This is known and documented.

What is not known any longer is what the different traditional designs meant. There are solid theories for some of them. Certain variations found on canoe paddles probably have some connection to the water, where others have very floral elements and probably have connections to the earth.

But the unfortunate truth is, we will likely never find a solid, indisputable answer for what they all mean, because it was stolen from us. Not lost; lost implies it was simply accidentally forgotten, and not buried from colonization. But my people still use these designs today for the reason I said above: They act as cultural identifiers. They are insignia. They are special. And even if we do not have a full understanding of what our ancestors used them for, we know that there was a sacredness involved, and we keep what we can. They are still special to us, even if that now has different meaning than what it was before.

This is exactly what the Dalish did with the vallaslin. It’s still theirs, just with different meaning. They’re not taking from someone else. They’re reusing something from their own history.

Even if vallaslin was originally used as slave markings, it has become a reclaimed symbol. Yes, the Dalish were very wrong about the origin. But I don’t understand how you can fault them for that; it’s not like they chose to have their history and culture erased, leaving them to play guessing games at restoring whatever they possibly can to maintain some form of identity. Vallaslin has become a symbol of Dalish pride. And for Lavellan, possibly a form of protection against the constant erasure they face as Inquisitor.

To say that the Dalish “culturally appropriated” vallaslin is one of the most obtuse, pseudo-woke thing I’ve ever heard in this fandom.

EDIT: Yes this is okay to reblog? All my posts are okay to reblog unless for some reason said otherwise.

Time Traveler Located at Mountain View Junior High, Bonney Lake

Marvin Oliver

From the website:  Time Traveler is a suspended sculpture by late Native American artist and master carver Marvin Oliver. He created te artwork using traditional Northwest Coast designs and motifs. The piece is comprised of a central glass canoe and six vertical paddles created from aluminum, wood, glass, and neon. Each paddle has its own symbolic meaning, and together they represent ideas about life, time, tradition, and the universe. Oliver's hope is that the artwork will inspire students to pursue and reflect on their own ambitions. This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Sumner School District.

Helping Indigenous Artists Protect Their Work

Copyright infringement of Indigenous designs is rampant. Their artwork is one of the last things that Indigenous Peoples have left. A new Canadian Indigenous art registry aims to help artists who have struggled with questions of ownership over their designs. The registry is a joint effort between Tony Belcourt, former president of the Métis Nation of Ontario, and Mark Holmes, director of G52 Municipal Services, the service provider for the register’s technology, in consultation with Indigenous artists.

Still in the early stages of creation, the registry is designed to give artists a place to document designs, control ownership and track works as they are sold and resold. Artists would be given a registry number for each piece of work, so when designs are stolen, they can take action and have a legal document to prove registration. The responsibility to ensure authenticity in part rests with consumers to buy products that identify Indigenous artists on the label.

One such artist collective has existed in Cape Dorset since it was established in 1959. The community-owned West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative Ltd. manages copyright for Indigenous artists in Nunavut, many of whom are without access to phones, bank accounts or Internet access and speak only Inuktitut. The co-operative has returned profit of more than $1-million a year for the past three years as equity back to its membership of 1,698, who each pay a one-time fee of $5 for a share.

My guess on the Cobra Kai/Karate Kid Fandom Ships

Supercarrier: fandom flagship.  Everybody and their dog ships it.  The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic.  You cannot escape this ship.

LawRusso

Dreadnought: massively popular.  Nearly everybody ships it.  You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.

Johnny/Carmen

Cruiser: pretty popular ship.  Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it.  Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.

Sam/Miguel

Frigate: just plain popular.  Feels like it could use more fanworks.  New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.

Mobby

Gunboat: bit of a rarepair.  It might have an ask blog or two.  A couple big name fans ship it.  Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.

Amoush

Tugboat: rarepair.  Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship.  You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days.  You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.

Hawk/Demetri – Season 1

Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it.  You all know each other.  You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.

?

Canoe: you are one of maybe three people who ship it, and there’s a not-insignificant chance you’ve never encountered those other two hypothetical shippers.  You spend your days paddling furiously in hopes of keeping the ship afloat, dreaming of the day you upgrade to a rowboat so you can finally rest.

The final concept will be a guided canoe ride by an Indigenous Representative travelling from the Northshore Wharf to the outskirts of Bulimba. The canoes will be in groups, where people immerse themselves and experience the travel route that was once a common pathway for the First Nations people (History Document Blackboard, 2021). Each boat will contain solar powered device that capture the users experience as well as each boat containing a significant Aboriginal artwork inside which relates to the Brisbane River.

This project concept ultimately has a stronger connection to the site, opens more opportunities for unity within the community through recreation, and allows for murals on the canoe boats to emphasise connections to the Brisbane River, ultimately drawing more people to the upcoming Maritime Green parkland. 

This concept will be pitched in collaboration with the men's shed, where wharf timbre will be repurposed as well as the use of bark to create similar designed canoes that were used (see below for ideas): Reconstruction of general appearance of canoes used out of bark
