Art Claims

(Thank you @caviezeldaily​ for this amazing banner!)

Here are the remaining summaries up for claim in the POI Big Bang: 

1. Title: Carbines and Capacitors

Relationships: Gen (Joss & Cheyenne, other Team Machine friendships); background John/Joss, brief Harold/Grace and Laskey/OFC, brief unrequited Shaw/Cheyenne, mention of past Joss/Cal and Cheyenne/Irene Travers, two staged scenes that are explicitly not preludes to romance Characters: (in order of appearance) Cheyenne Bodie, Joss Carter, Mike Laskey, Lionel Fusco, John Reese, Harold Finch, Bear, The Machine, Sameen Shaw, Zoe Morgan, Patrick Simmons, Raymond Terney, Genrika Zhirova, Timothy Sloan, Root | Samantha Groves, Peter Collier, Anthony Marconi, Carl Elias, Peter Yogorov, Grace Hendricks, Andrew Monahan, Alonzo Quinn, Fermin Ordoñez, Arthur Claypool, Tom "Sugarfoot" Brewster, Bronco Layne Rating: Teen Summary: A routine day for Team Machine turns into anything but when a cowboy from 1880 falls out of thin air and lands practically at Carter's feet.  Getting him well and acclimated to life in 2013 is only half the battle.  Computers are out of his line, but he does have other skills Finch can use… so the best laid schemes of Greer and Quinn are about to run into a 6'6" tank named Cheyenne Bodie. (Season 3 AU, crossover with Cheyenne, with cameos from Sugarfoot and Bronco)

(Wikipedia links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheyenne_(TV_series); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugarfoot; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronco_(TV_series); Fandom wiki: https://cheyenne.fandom.com/wiki/Cheyenne_Wiki; IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047720/) Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply; References to historical atrocities, uncomfortably timely conversations, canon-typical violence, canon-typical threats of violence, crude remarks by Shaw, Cheyenne comes from a 1950s Western and speaks/thinks/acts accordingly (but as in canon, he hates racism and injustice) Art Wishlist: Open to any media, although traditional/digital might be more suitable than manips because most available images of Cheyenne are B&W--as was the show, so vids and gifs might have the same problem.  Podfic would be welcome, and the story is finished (and long!), but recording could be a challenge because Cheyenne's voice is lower than John's and because there are lots of footnotes and a few words in the Northern Cheyenne dialect, Dutch, Spanish, Sioux, Russian, and Hebrew.  Cheyenne wears a very distinctive hat (brown with silver arrowheads around the band) that could be drawn as part of a still-life banner or divider, possibly with a Colt Peacemaker and a Desert Eagle (crossed?).  Also, if you're interested in illustrating a scene, there are... rather a lot to choose from, but I think I'd go for one of Cheyenne with John, Joss, and/or Shaw.  I will happily work with any artist to find what source/reference materials are needed--I don't know where Cheyenne is available to watch outside the US, but there are at least clips posted on YouTube.

2. Title: Spare Me Relationships: Lionel Fusco/John Reese Characters: Lionel Fusco, John Reese, Lee Fusco, Harold Finch, Bear, Root, Original Characters Rating: (use AO3 system) T (for a kiss and Fusco's bad language) Summary: (<100 words) "I don't need a genius to tell me that you're lonely." Fusco invites John to join the NYPD bowling league to give John something normal and fun to do for once. But soon Fusco realizes that John isn't the only one who's lonely. Warnings: (use AO3 system) None Art Wishlist: (what media you're open to, hoping for, any ideas) Anything is fine by me! I've never had someone make art for a story of mine, so I'm easy to please! 

3. Title: Kingfishers

Relationships: Harold Finch/John Reese/Grace Hendricks

Rating: M at the moment, maaaybe E by the time I’m done

Summary:

One morning, a handsome stranger walks up to Grace Hendricks in a park and introduces himself. His name is John, and he likes her paintings.

That afternoon, Grace meets a wealthy insurance executive who offers her a sizable art commission. He’s intelligent, interesting, and easy to talk to. His name is Harold.

(A different-first-meeting story, in which Harold ignored the Machine’s attempts to set him up with Grace in 2006, only to receive her number in 2012 after he and John have been working together for over a year.)

Warnings: inexplicit references to child abuse and alcoholism

Art Wishlist: Grace’s paintings and sketches, and her feelings about the art and artists she admires, are pretty important to the story. There are passages where I describe pictures and paintings she’s created, or beautiful objects of various kinds that she and Harold both admire. An illustration of any of that stuff would be amazing, or maybe a kind of Pre-Raphaelite picture of the characters. Also, kingfishers are kind of thematically/symbolically important, and very beautiful, and would make lovely art.

Two requests: please don’t make art of Harold and John that excludes Grace, and please no NSFW art.

4. [Fic previously claimed! Should not have been here! Apologies!]

5. Title: More Than Words Relationships: John Reese/Harold Finch/Grace Hendricks Characters: John Reese, Harold Finch, Grace Hendricks Rating: General Audiences Summary: John and Harold have a lot in common. They've loved. They've lost. They've done their best to help people. And now they have a matching pair of soulmarks- tattoos bearing the first words your soulmate says to you. The marks aren't what bring John and Harold together. But they might end up tearing the two of them apart. Warnings: Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings (this fic should be tagged for some of John's suicidal ideation pre-season 1 and in the fic) Art Wishlist: Looking for visual media/graphic design. Since this is a soulmate/soulmark AU, I would be very happy if someone could design the tattoos I have in mind, in their medium of choice. I am willing to collaborate, or just see what they come up with. But while that is my ideal art pairing, I am open to anything!

6. Title: Untitled Relationships: Harold/John Characters: Harold, John, Bear, Shaw, Fusco, Carter, OCs, *possibly* an appearance by Root Rating: Teen & Up Summary: When a number goes wrong and Harold is stabbed, his entire life is thrown into disarray. Seriously injured, he's left with no choice but to rely on someone else as he recovers. He chooses John (or, rather, John chooses himself) and invites John into his home and his very private life as he slowly heals from the trauma and the wounds.

What happens when he realizes he wants John to stay close? Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply (additional warning for panic attacks and memories of a violent attack) Art Wishlist: I'd especially love illustrations (traditional or digital), but I'm game for anything.

7. Title: Bonds Not Broken - Maybe??? Relationships: John Reese/Harold Finch Characters: John Reese, Harold Finch, Sameen Shaw, OCs, Elias, Heralds of Valdemar characters, Rolan, Weaponmaster Hersch, King Jesse, Bear the dog, a cast of thousands Rating: Adult M/M Summary: An AU Person of Interest/Heralds of Valdemar crossover. John is not only a Herald, but the King's Own. The story begins with the death of the king, and this is John's journey to find his place in Valdemar. Warnings: Author Chooses None Art Wishlist: I like most styles of fanart except chibi. I love a good photo manip but really anything! If the artist is interested, I have an Instagram where I put pictures that helped me write this monster. The instagram is blackchaps with a Hawkeye icon, easy to find.

8. Title: Untitled (for now) Relationships: Harold Finch/Lionel Fusco, Lionel Fusco & Sameen Shaw, Harold Finch & Sameen Shaw Characters: Harold Finch, Lionel Fusco, Sameen Shaw, Bear, Leon Tao Rating: E Summary: One year after the death of Samaritan, Harold Finch returns to New York City and reunites with his old friends. Sameen Shaw and Lionel Fusco, who have believed him to be dead for the past 12 months, are not exactly eager to trust him again. As Harold handles mysterious cases on the outside of their new organization, he works to repair his relationships with both. Sameen, who doubts his commitment, will be hard to convince. Lionel, who bears deep emotional scars, will be impossible. Warnings: Canon typical violence, drug/alcohol use Art Wishlist: I’m super flexible re: medium. I’m very into the idea of space-centric or detail-centric art, as opposed to character-centric art, if that makes sense. Re: space-centric, a lot of the fic is about loneliness and puts the characters in empty, uncomfortable, or sad rooms and the vibe is very like these Edward Hopper paintings, I think. Alternatively, it’s Finch POV and he’s doing a lot of focusing on tiiiiiiny details and significant objects, and I’d love some fancypants studies or edits of those.

9. Title: Degrees of Separation Relationships: Gen (but the whole point of the story is that they’ve all been separated, so there are no relationships in action) Characters: John Reese, Harold Finch, Sameen Shaw, Root, Lionel Fusco, Bear Rating: Teen and Up (due to a limited use of common profanity) Summary: The lives of the members of Team Machine in their new identities during the first months of Samaritan’s full operation, from the separation of the team at the end of “Deus Ex Machina” through the events that take place in “Panopticon.” Warnings: Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings Art Wishlist: I am open to any medium.  It would be great if the art focused on the separation that the characters are experiencing.

10. Title: If I Could Tell Him Relationships: Harold Finch/John Reese; Harold Finch & Root; minor Root/Sameen Shaw; past Harold Finch/Nathan Ingram Characters: Harold Finch, John Reese, Root, Nathan Ingram (mentioned) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Summary: Harold manages to tap on the fourth wall of 4x17 “Karma” and has some thoughts about the mirroring of himself with the victim counselor vigilante Shane Edwards. He and John go on their walk with Bear, but Harold keeps what he’s feeling to himself. Years later, after all of Team Machine survives the defeat of Samaritan, Harold comes across Edwards and realizes he never talked with John about all of the emotions that number still fosters, specifically regarding Nathan. Root gives him some advice, and they all work on a happiness that encompasses the past, present, and future. Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Art Wishlist: I’m open to anything, from digital art to fanmixes and anything else, really. This is a rinch fic but it’s also basically a Harold character study (entirely from his POV and a lot of internal narrative) so any art could probably focus on him.

11. 

Title: The Mysterious Human Heart in New York Relationships: Jessica/John, Harold and Jessica, Harold and John Characters: Jessica, John, Harold, Fusco Rating: Teen Summary: Agent Jessica Reese has managed to claw her way back from Ordos after being betrayed by her partner and the CIA. Gutshot and purposeless, she spends her days haunting the hospital in New Rochelle, watching her ex, John. John has his happily ever after: got his nursing degree, married a great guy, lives in a beautiful house. Jess is glad. He should be happy with Peter.

When she bumps into the mysterious Harold Finch, who knows too much about everyone, he tells her the unpleasant truth about John's dream marriage. Jess must face up to the fact that John needs her help to find safety and happiness. Warnings: Show level violence, some medical detail as John is a nurse. Art Wishlist: I am open to any medium except audio.  

12. Title: To my God, I sacrifice Relationships: John Reese & Root, John Reese/ Kara Stanton Characters: John Reese, Root, Sameen Shaw, Hersh, Kara Stanton, Harold Finch (mentioned) Rating: Mature Summary: Former soldier and CIA agent John Reese has condemned himself to a slow death after being burned by the agency. After witnessing a strange woman answering a forgotten payphone, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a web of secrets, zealotry and violence. Warnings: Canon typical violence, canon typical torture, mentions of suicide and rape, abusive/unbalanced dynamics, alcoholism Art Wishlist: I don't have any particular requests in regards to the art, I'm curious about what will the artist choose to interpret. If I had to choose, a scene illustration or a cover would be very cool :)

You probably have heard by now that DC has killed DC Zoom, DC Ink and Vertigo imprints to consolidate publishing and replace imprints with separate age categories - DC Young Adult and DC Middle Grade being apparently just name changes for Ink and Zoom respectively, with Black Label remaining as their adult-oriented line and DC Universe being the main line still.

Some of things it means:

NO BOOK IS BEING CANCELLED

All Sandman Universe titles will continue under DC Black Label line. The Dreaming, House of Whispers, Books of Magic and Lucifer will keep going, just not under Vertigo label.

Creator-owned titles will be assigned to specific age groups but will also continue.

DC ink and Zoom books that have already been solicited will be published, other titles have been restructured to specific age group.

DC Middle Grade will still publishBatman: Overdrive, Batman Tales: Once Upon a Crime, Diana: Princess of the Amazins and Green Lantern: Legacy in 2020 and will publish Superman Smashes the Klan in future

In fact, they have announced more titles for Middle-Grade books, including:

Anti/Hero – Written by Kate Karyus Quinn and Demitria Lunetta and illustrated by Maca Gil (April 2020)

Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld – Written by Shannon and Dean Hale

ArkhaManiacs – Written by Art Baltazar and Franco and illustrated by Art Baltazar (April 2020)

Batman and Robin…and Howard – Written and illustrated by Jeffrey Brown

DC Super Hero Girls: Powerless – Written by Amy Wolfram and illustrated by Agnes Garbowska (March 2020)

Green Arrow: Stranded – Written by Brendan Deneen and illustrated by Caleb Hosalla

Indestructibles Book 1—Written by Ridley Pearson

Lois Lane – Written by Grace Ellis and illustrated by Brittney Williams

Metropolis Grove – Written and illustrated by Drew Brockington

The Mystery of the Meanest Teacher: A Johnny Constantine Graphic Novel – Written by Ryan North and illustrated by Derek Charm     

My Video Game Ate My Homework – Written and illustrated by Dustin Hansen (May 2020)

Primer – Written by Thomas Krajewski and Jennifer Muro and illustrated by Gretel Lusky

Super Sons Book 3: Escape to Landis – Written by Ridley Pearson and illustrated by Ile Gonzalez

Teen Titans Go! to Camp – Written by Sholly Fisch

Teen Titans Go! Roll with It – Written by Heather Nuhfer and P.C. Morrissey     -Zatanna & the House of Secrets – Written by Matthew Cody and illustrated by Yoshi Yoshitani (February 2020)

Future DC Young Adult titles include books announced for 2020 - Gotham High, The Oracle Code, Shadow of the Batgirl, Lost Carnival: a Dick Grayson Graphic Novel and Wonder Woman: Warbringer - as well as already announced Teen Titans: Beast Boy and Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed.

There is also a large number of NEW books in Young Adult line, including:

Catwoman: Soulstealer – Adapted by Louise Simonson from Sarah J. Maas’ DC Icon prose novel and illustrated by Samantha Dodge

Galaxy: The Prettiest Star – Written by Jadzia Axelrod and illustrated by Cait Zellers

Galaxy: The Prettiest Star – Written by Jadzia Axelrod and illustrated by Cait Zellers

House of El Book 1 – Written by Claudia Gray and illustrated by Eric Zawadzki

I Am Not Starfire—Written by Mariko Tamaki

Mister Miracle – Written by Varian Johnson

Nubia – Written by L.L. McKinney and illustrated by Robyn Smith

Swamp Thing – Written by Maggie Stiefvater and illustrated by Morgan Beem   

Victor & Nora: A Mr. Freeze Story – Written by Lauren Myracle and illustrated by Isaac Goodhart

Whistle – Written by E. Lockhart and illustrated by Manuel Preitano 

 You Brought Me the Ocean – Written by Alex Sanchez and illustrated by Julie Maroh

 Zatanna: The Jewel of Gravesend – Written by Alys Arden and illustrated by Jacquelin De Leon 

Now, another matter entirely is what it means for Vertigo books. Black Label is a good initiative even if so far it has produced BatPenis and Republican Superman. However, the line was advertised as “ biggest creators and biggest characters” for adult-oriented stories. This is not what Vertigo was. Vertigo was always a publisher who was not afraid of taking risks and pushing the envelope, it changed comics in ways we still feel and changed them for the better. Books like Sandman, Hellblazer, Lucifer, Transmetropolitan, Fables, Shade the Changing Man are among the greatest titles of American comics and left a huge mark on the millions of fans and creators. Black Label is right now criticized for being too Batman-centric for its own good.

It is an end of an era but not one we didn’t see coming. The writing was on the wall since DC fired Karen Beger and took classic Vertigo characters like John Constantine and Swamp Thing and forced them back into the main DC line as a part of New 52. Vertigo never recovered from that hit. Ironically I suspect now Young Animal books will fall under Black Label. Including Doom Patrol, one of titles DC took away from Vertigo in the first place.

6 Best Infrared Sauna Consumer Report The difference between the ordinary sauna and infrared sauna is that the latter uses infrared wavelengths to provide the body with relaxation and healing benefits. You can get the benefits of traditional and today’s infrared and far infrared saunas almost anywhere, a good example being infrared sauna NYC, where you have the opportunity of selecting from tens of saunas in the state. INFRARED SAUNA is especially popular in the wellness and health communities and many people are using it now more than the conventional saunas because of the immense health benefits and because they can use the same from the comfort of their homes. What is infrared sauna? Before we look at one of the best infrared saunas in the market, let us delve into what an infrared sauna is and what makes it different from the ordinary sauna that majority of us know about. The word sauna is given to this kind of therapy because of the environment under which people receive the heat therapy. The best word to use would be infrared therapy cubicles. The cabins or the saunas have panels all around them that provide the infrared heat. Infrared saunas do not use steam or elements for heating the panels. Instead, the panels use infrared spectrums that help with complete relaxation and health benefits. While in an ordinary sauna, the temperature is the driving factor, in a FULL SPECTRUM INFRARED SAUNA the quality of infrared heat is more important. It takes only about 15 minutes for your sauna to warm up for you to receive all the benefits of infrared heat. Most cabins have temperature control options which means you can stay for as long as you want in an infrared sauna. Read More: [su_note note_color="#f4efe5"] Philips GoLite BLU Energy Light Lamp Reviews Project E Beauty 7 Color LED Mask Reviews RubyLux Infrared Bulb Reviews [/su_note] Best Selling Infrared Sauna On The Market: [amazon bestseller="Infrared Sauna"] How infrared sauna works Some of the words that we read about when infrared therapy comes up may sound like fiction to some of us. However, these things surround us every day. Infrared is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of light wavelengths. Infrared comes in three different categories which are far, near and middle. Infrared heat devices use FAR INFRARED, abbreviated as FIR. Infrared saunas, which are infrared heat devices, therefore use FIR, which is invisible light. FIR works by heating the panels without getting the air around warm.  Infrared saunas work by mimicking the infrared frequencies that the sun emits. The heat from the panels penetrates deep into the body tissues through a process called Resonant Absorption. Resonant absorption takes place when there is matching frequencies of the infrared waves and the water in the body cells. The process helps to release toxins into the blood stream, which then leave the body through sweat. Sweating during the therapy session is what helps to excrete the toxins. Health benefits of infrared sauna The main reason for using infrared sauna for therapy is to sweat. Perspiring is one of the healthiest and most natural ways of releasing toxins from the body. Sweating also comes with calming and relaxing effects. Other than this, other health benefits of infrared sauna are as follows: 1) Detoxification The environment today more has many harmful chemicals. The harmful chemicals come from many places that include the fuels, the landfills, dust, agrochemicals, and many more. All these leave our bodies with heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic among others. Though there are other ways to remove these toxic metals from the body such as through the chelation method, it carries more risks. The most natural way to detoxify the body is through sweating. A concentration of any of these metals in the system comes out of the body through sweating under infrared sauna. Infrared sauna also helps the body to remove BP, the chemical responsible for increasing health risks for memory loss, diabetes, cancer and dementia among many others. 2) Weight loss For people looking for ways to lose weight, using infrared sauna is one of the surest ways to lose those extra fat cells. In one sauna session, you can produce between 250 and 500 ml of sweat in a session lasting 20 to 30 minutes. This alone could lead to burning 125 to 250 calories dependent on the body size. This session of infrared sauna is the same as jogging between 1.5 and 2.5 miles. The bigger the body size, the more the sweat and the more calories the infrared heat therapy burns. 3) Cardiovascular fitness Infrared sauna is very popular with athletes and other sporting people because it helps to improve circulation by enhancing better function of the blood vessels. The action helps to increase nitric oxide production, which helps to control blood pressure and improve blood flow. Using infrared sauna therapy also helps to decrease the risks of heart attacks, dementia and strokes. 4) Improves skin texture Sweating during infrared sauna therapy helps to cleanse the skin by opening up the pores to let sweat out. Sweat in turn detoxifies the body at the cellular level allowing the skin to regain the natural glow it had before. To make the skin texture even smoother and softer, dry brush of the hardened, diseased and dead skin, then apply an ESSENTIAL OIL salve during the session.

Just 29,000 Western Monarch Butterflies Are Left in California. That's Down From Millions

😢 HEARTBREAKING: "California is the only place in the U.S. where monarch butterflies spend the winter in large numbers. But development and wildfires have destroyed much of the coastal forest groves and springtime breeding grounds they rely on." ����😢😢

A monarch butterfly nectaring on swamp milkweed.

Each fall, monarch butterflies from across the western United States flutter their way to the California coast to hole up for the winter. Mild temperatures, abundant nectar and protection offered by coastal forests have historically made California an ideal place for monarchs to survive into spring, and the majority of the population west of the Rocky Mountains make the annual trip to the state.

The conservation society that conducts the annual monarch butterfly count recommends Californians plant native milkweed in inland breeding areas, as well as nectar-producing flowers for monarchs to feed on.

As recently as the 1980s, these iconic orange and black butterflies numbered in the millions. This season’s count, however, was much in line with the monarch's decades-long severe decline. This year's estimate, released last week, stands at about 29,000 monarchs, just above last year’s all-time low.

“This population has declined by over 99 percent,” said Emma Pelton, a conservation biologist with the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, which conducts the survey each year around Thanksgiving.

Pelton says the numbers indicate the historic western monarch migratory population is in danger of going extinct.

In the spring, monarchs fly inland to lay their eggs on milkweed plants. The caterpillars that hatch feed on the leaves. Milkweed is the only thing monarch caterpillars eat and essential to their survival. The new generation will help populate areas from California to the Rockies.

“That first generation that’s born in the new year in California is really the generation that’s going to continue the migration.” Pelton said. “They’re going to populate the western United States.”

Eastern monarchs make a similar migration to Mexico for the winter months.

“California’s the only place in the U.S. where monarchs spend the winter in large numbers and that is worth protecting,” Pelton said.

Reasons for the Decline

Samantha Marcum, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, says habitat loss, the use of pesticides, disease and the changing climate have all likely contributed to the decline of western monarchs.

Monarch butterflies from the across the Western U.S. spend the winter in California. Pictured above, monarchs in Pacific Grove on the Central Coast.

“There’s no singular reason for the extreme drop in numbers over the last two to three decades.” Marcum said. “There’s several factors.”

One major reason for the drastically reduced numbers, she says, is the loss of coastal forest groves, where monarchs can safely roost in the winter months, and their shrinking springtime breeding habitat, due to land development, forest management practices and wildfire.

“Drought, increased storm frequency and intensity, and temperature extremes” have also likely made California a less hospitable place for monarchs, said Marcum.

Federal officials are considering listing monarch butterflies for protection under the Endangered Species Act. A decision is expected in December.

Marcum says protecting and restoring the forest groves where monarchs spend their winter on the California coast will be key to their recovery. The Xerces Society recommends Californians plant native milkweed in inland breeding areas, as well as nectar-producing flowers for monarchs to feed on.

Pelton says citizen science efforts like monarch counts help researchers monitor butterfly populations and target conservation efforts. The Western Monarch Milkweed Mapper and the iNaturalist App are two ways people can record their own monarch sightings.

“Even if you’re not someone that necessarily thinks of yourself as someone who likes bugs, you probably know what a monarch looks like,” Pelton said. “The fact that they move and travel all over the United States and Canada and Mexico is just a really incredible story of a single species connecting us across the country.”
