his love languages are acts of service n words of affirmation

n possibly physical touch ...

really likes body mods but doesn't get too many bc he overthinks about them too much

(Gary anon) And FMA is timeless, which works in its favor. Can't say the same for certain other series that are products of their time. (They do, but it seems most have collectively agree to pretend the photos 'don't exist'. Toby is a dog, and only a dog) Yeah, at least these days there's more tools and platforms where they can make a name for themselves or go in and out of small group projects more easily. (Art is meant to be fun and a way to express)

.

(Part 2) (Whether you want to make money off of it or not is up to the person) Old internet felt like you had 1000 sites to explore and get lost in. Now everything has 'diminished' to roughly 10. No way would I go back to waiting 5 minutes for a page to load, but in hindsight, the increased popularity of a site always seems to come back to eventually work against it. (And meme potential. Ultra Instinct Shaggy alongside Batman is finally a reality)

(Part 3) I think I mentioned it before, but if you're curious, there's a compilation of all of Gary's OS scenes on Nicovideo. There's one for his *Chronicles episode and a AG-DP one too. (*And yes, the scene where Oak mentions Ash to Gary also has the music different. :P No wonder Palletshipping was more popular in Japan: nico vide o . j p / watch / sm309 54797) Mmm, here's hoping. With the limited time we have left for JN.

(Part 4) (If it makes you feels better, while I did catch the day it happened, I did miss out on seeing it live. Apparently it was already spoiled beforehand) Now I'm making sure I stick around for this one, hopefully that battle lives up to its potential like other final battles. (Yes, the PWC battles resumes on July 8th)

(Part 5) Oh, in Pokemon Masters news: It seems an[other] Anipoke character is destined to join the game, based on a datamine. All I will say, it'll certainly be an interesting piece of lore if they and a certain other character were to meet.

Yeah, FMA has aged really well.

Yeah. What a life to have honestly--it's similar to how Hiromu Arakawa, despite having created such an iconic and beloved manga, manages to keep her life so private we pretty much only know her as the cow she draws herself as.

True! And indie games have been getting more attention in recent years.

For sure. What people do with their art is very much a personal choice because art is such a personal thing.

Oh yeah, how could I forget about that! Incredible.

Ooh, I will definitely take a look at that later!! Thanks for the link!!

Yeah, here's hoping!

Unfortunate... Pokemon Twitter has at least gotten a little better about not posting untagged spoilers the day an episode airs.

Yeah, hopefully it's as good as it can be! Very excited to root for my boy.

Oh, that should be interesting! Exciting stuff!

Wherever you live, but especially if it is in a beautifully scenic region of France, Italy, or Spain, why not paint your own countryside painting, or copy your favourite masterpiece from one the masters of the genre like Vermeer or maybe slightly less well known Thomas Cole. Incredibly on the net painters can simply pick up all the art supplies you need from artist paint brushes to oils and canvases and be ready to express yourself within days.

Nathalie Novi is of Italian origin but lives in France. Her early childhood took place in Constantine, Algeria where she was surrounded by her sisters and lots of books. It was at the age of nine that she decided to be a painter.

In 1987, she graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where she exhibist her pastels and engravings. She also has exhibition in other cities around France and countries around Europe. Her work on the timeless theme of childhood brings her naturally to children’s books and characters and books from her childhood. She was awarded a CNL creation grant, which allowed her to work on her project about Jane Austen’s novels –  Le musée imaginaire de Jane Austen – which will be published by  Albin Michel Jeunesse on November 2, 2017. The premise of the book is as follows (text from Amazon France loosely translated by me).

Once upon a time in a magical place called ​​Pemberley, an imaginary museum dedicated to Jane Austen opens its doors for the first time … Visitors from different countries and times, flock to the first room where they are greeted by Elisabeth Bennett, the heroine of the novel Pride and Prejudice. She will guide them through the museum pieces, one for each novel: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Emma, ​​Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.

The short texts of Fabrice Colin allow a sensitive immersion in the literary world of Jane Austen. The richly illustrated pages alternate different approaches to his work: iconic key scenes of novels (ballroom, wedding, meetings), scenes of British society at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, romantic landscapes, portrait galleries on upholstered backgrounds. Throughout her allegorical compositions, Nathalie Novi mixes techniques – acrylic painting on cardboard, ink wash, sketch with pen on old paper – to deliver a beautiful and unique work.

I asked Nathalie to tell us about this project and her story with Jane Austen. We all have a story, how everything started. I think nobody forgets the first time they read Pride and Prejudice, for example. Being an illustrator since she was so young I wanted to know how this whole project started and here she shares this with us in her own words:

“The first time I read a novel of Jane Austen , I had the feeling that I had  come from the same family of her heroins. I have four sisters, and , except the search of husbands(!) of course, it was quite similar : many dreams, ideas, and lots of laughter… each of us had her own identity, we loved books  very much  and we created stories all together. Once I discovered the rest of  Jane Austen novels, it was an evident, I was one of her characters! As I’m  a painter, I dreamed of honoring her with my art, and now  it s done! With my  “Imaginary Museum of Jane Austen” I create a place (in Pemberley) where we can walk through her six principals novels. I create a mixed between a contemporary public, literary celebrities   (like Virginia Woolf, Emma Thompson, and also Queen Elisabeth II), her heroes, the landscapes, the houses which are so important and even some surrealistic objects. The writer, Fabrice Colin and I tried to highlight  her wit and humor and  her marvelous way of conveying  feelings. Her stories are not very descriptive which is a wonderful thing  for a painter because everything can be imagined.

I have made about 150 drawings and paintings for this book. It is intended for everybody, teenagers and adults, of course, Jane Austen lovers,  but also those who have not yet read her novels… because Jane Austen is universal.  Thank you so much! This book is published in French for the moment but we hope to find an English publisher soon.”

The book can be pre-order on Amazon France. More details on the link below:

 Bonus feature:
