and now. for my new sillies. coming at you live from We Are The God Investigation Committee. aka my new comic project. but this time I'm sharing the behind the scenes stuff with you all since this is going to take a while.

This is a special circumambular shade of red, renowned for its scarcity and purity and ability to contextualize redness. This red is not found in sRGB or Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB, in fact, this red is only found in certain countries south of the equator, and at very specific altitudes and humidity. You can schedule a tour to see this red in person, but realize that most tours fill up within a few hours of opening, so be quick to schedule.

This was my voting experience yesterday.

I seriously cannot leave the house without having an adventure.

Adventures are exhausting.

Also, sorry if you are seeing this for a second time. I uploaded all of the photos in the wrong color space (ProPhoto instead of sRGB!) and they looked like poop and my OCD was unable to just let it go.

Early voting to beat the lines... the best-laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.

So... yesterday was quite the day.

After being stuck in bed for the past 6 weeks with some mystery slump, I was finally feeling better. So I decided I would try to cram as many errands into my day as possible. That works better for me when I drive out into the world because I end up only having to do one big recovery instead of a bunch of little recoveries.

My to-do list...

Go to the doctor

Vote early

Return oxygen machine to FedEx store for scammy eBay guy

Return Amazon package to the UPS store

Get gasoline for my whip

Go to Discount Tire to get my tires filled for free

Drop a check off for my lawn guy

Mail a secret package to Katrina at the US Post Office

It would have been nice if I could have gone to just one shipping place instead of all three, but the universe has a sense of humor and likes to do shit like that to me on a regular basis.

So, I get my checkup, it goes quick, no long wait, I'm feeling good.

As I get in my car, it starts to rain. It was an ugly day and it actually has not stopped raining to this very moment a day later. Just gray, windy, chilly, and wet. I look up the voting place and start the GPS.

Wipers and music on full blast, it's time to get my vote on.

When I reach my destination, I realize early voting is at some kind of private golf club. And at the center is a recreation center—which is a public building.

So it's like this private/public turducken situation.

I was expecting this errand to take 20 minutes. Because early voting always seemed like a way to get in before the crowds of election day for a more convenient voting experience.

But the parking lot was packed and I feared my expectations were about to be subverted.

As I walk through the parking lot I see a bunch of signs in the ground.

And a particular one caught my eye.

This is bullshit.

Like, just a straight up lie. No truth to it whatsoever.

Amendment 3 in Missouri basically restores abortion rights in the state. And Republicans have taken issue with the following language...

"The Government shall not deny or infringe upon a person's fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which is the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive health care, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion care, miscarriage care, and respectful birthing conditions."

They claim the phrasing "but not limited to" means you can give an 8-year-old kid "sex change surgery."

This is how their online flyer puts it...

It could also include a free puppy.

Or a zillion bucks.

Or a clown will come to your house after the abortion and honk your nose.

It's ridiculous and desperate. I honestly don't know how it is legal for them to put a lie like that outside of a polling location, but here we are.

The organization "Missouri Stands with Women" is run by... a man.

It was set up by a lawyer named "Edward Greim" on behalf of the Federalist Society.

His law firm has a lovely biography about him. And a bunch of publicly available contact information. I say that for no reason whatsoever.

The Federalist Society funds all kinds of shit like this. Their main thing is installing conservative judges all over the country who will reinterpret or negate legislation. And they do it all to "stand with women" by taking away their reproductive rights.

Here is the board of directors of the Federalist Society.

Ya know, before I looked this up, I said to myself, "I bet it's going to be a sausage fest." I am psychic.

I think it would be more accurate to say they stand with A woman.

Just one.

And she sucks.

Nicole is a law professor at Notre Dame. She chose her Catholicism over her right to choose. The Catholic Church will fuck your rights and your children and Nicole will help them do it.

Anyway... back to my quick and easy voting experience...

So as I'm walking in to vote I keep passing a ton of these awful signs. I notice an older woman standing next to the aforementioned "child sex change" sign and she says, "Can I talk to you about Amendment 3?"

At this point, I'm pretty angry. I look her dead in the eyes and say with my most assholish tone, "NO." as I walk past her.

And then she finishes her sentence...

"...to protect the reproductive rights of women."

Ah, dammit.

I thought she was an old Karen but she was cool as heck. Standing out in the rain telling people the sign is bullshit. I wanted to turn around and apologize but I was stuck in full social anxiety mode so I just kept walking.

If that old lady happens to have a Tumblr and follows me and is willing to read this giant story... I just want to say I am sorry. I thought you were awful and I should have let you finish your sentence. You're super cool and I'm happy there are folks like you fighting for what is right.

I get inside and a young woman greets me. She tells me the line is in the next room and points. I still wasn't quite sure what the situation was. The parking lot being full gave me pause, but I was still hopeful I could have a swift early voting experience.

But I walk through the doors and into a huge gymnasium and my heart sinks.

It's hard to represent in pictures how long this line is.

It goes all the way to the end of the gym, loops around, and comes back. At first I was not too discouraged, because there was a nice gentle ramp at the start of the line.

But then I notice several sets of stairs at different stages of the line. And I'm just thinking how hard it would be to stand in this line and then also having to go up and down several sets of stairs.

So I go back to the young woman working there and ask what their accessible voting options are. And she told me I could do curbside voting and points outside. I then notice a line of cars wrapped around the parking lot. I don't know how I didn't see them walking in, but I guess I was too busy being a jerk to elderly progressive women.

My biggest concern was time.

The longer this takes, the more energy I use up, the longer my eventual recovery will be.

They tell me the car option is the slowest. And I could be in line for 2 to 3 hours. And then an old man who seemed to be in charge walks over and tells me the fastest option is to stand in line.

So I walk back out to my car and grab my cane and decide to try the long serpentine gynasium line.

I start walking up the ramp and some of the other folks see how slow and labored I'm walking and they start encouraging me. "You can do it! You got this!" Which I suppose was meant to be a positive helpful thing. But I found it to be embarrassing.

I get to the end of the line and notice most of the line has bleachers directly next to it. So I decide to sit down and rest and figure out how I am going to survive this experience.

It took me a while to recover from the long walk to this spot. I watched a bunch of people pass me by and the line was actually getting much longer as I rested. I was not really sure what to do. I was trying to problem-solve this situation but the answer that kept popping up in my mind was just... "go home."

But I felt this was too important and that wasn't really an option.

My best idea was to ask someone if they would hold my spot in line. Perhaps I could just sit in the bleachers and follow them around in the line, staying as close to them as I could. But my social anxiety was set to maximum and I was not finding the courage to ask someone.

After about 10 minutes of sitting, resting, and thinking, I basically say, "Fuck it, I'll try to stand in line."

I get up and start walking to the end of the line.

Then I hear a voice yell out to me.

"Hey, man! Come over here! This is your spot!"

A young man was waving at me. He was accompanied by his wife. Both of them were dressed in black and they had a sort of goth skater aesthetic going on. He had a competitively bushy beard, but with less gray. And she had very vivid purple hair.

I was a little confused and still processing what was happening. Then they both started waving at me to join them in line. They remembered I got there just before and told me I should be in front of them. I walk over and thank them. Then he suggests...

"Hey, why don't you just sit in the bleachers and follow us around the line."

He suggested my idea!

Without me asking!

I felt like he read my mind or something.

Can bearded people read each others' minds? Was this some beard skill I was unaware of?

"I got you, man. You just sit and we'll keep your place."

And his violet hair'd significant other agreed. "Yeah, we got you."

The kindness of strangers was more accessible than my polling place and I was just so thankful in that moment.

So I sat in the bleachers and watched them traverse the line. In the middle of the gym there were some teenagers playing basketball. And so I just rested and watched them play.

That young man in the red pants was like a goddamn Harlem Globetrotter. He was just embarrassing the others. He was bouncing the ball behind his back and through his legs and then he just danced around his opponents like a figure skater. It was such an unbalanced matchup. He might as well have been playing 4th graders. Not only was he significantly faster and more maneuverable, but he was consistently hitting 3-pointers.

And then during a break, he ran towards the hoop, jumped from the free throw line, flew all the way to the net, grabbed onto the rim, and proceeded to do several pull ups as if they were the easiest thing in the world. I don't think I've seen anyone jump that far and that high in real life and it was just a bonkers display of athleticism.

I spent the entire wait watching him humiliate the others—hoping he would get a full ride scholarship to some prestigious university.

And I hoped the other boys paid attention in school and got straight As, because basketball was not going to work out for them.

As my new goth skater friends progressed through the line, I would make sure to keep sight of them. Every once in a while I'd give them a head nod to acknowledge we were in this together. After an hour and a half they were at the final segment of the line, so I sat next to the wheelchair folks.

I probably could have argued to sit with them in the first place. But I really did not feel like making the case that I was just as disabled as them and needed that level of consideration. The old man running things seemed quite stressed and was putting out 8 fires at once. And my anxiety wasn't really cooperating enough to be assertive in my needs.

But it worked out in the end, so I'm not going to dwell on the lack of accommodation for people who weren't *visually* disabled.

My new bearded friend neared the end and waved me over. I thanked him and his wife profusely.

I joked, "Thank you for adopting a voter."

They seemed confused by my joke.

"No problem, man. Happy to help."

I told him and his wife they truly saved me. "I honestly don't think I would have made it through the line." And then I looked back...

I said, "As crazy as this is, I do find this kind of turnout encouraging." His wife agreed and said, "We were saying the same thing!" And then I thought, "Can the wives of bearded people absorb the mind reading ability? I hope she can't read my mind right now. Although, I'm mostly thinking that her hair is a really cool shade of purple, so she'd probably find that complimentary."

As I waited to get my ballot I could hear the happy couple behind me. They were very cute. They were making fun of each other in a very lovey-dovey fashion. I had high hopes they were going to grow old and gray and purple together based on their chemistry. And I was just so thankful they were able to recognize that I needed help without me asking. Because I probably would have just caved to my anxiety and not asked for help otherwise.

I got my ballot and sat down to fill in all of the appropriate squares. Thankfully I had prepared a cheat sheet on my phone.

It was an exact replica so I was able to copy it and finish quite rapidly.

Then I fed my votes into the vote-eating monster and they gave me a sticker.

My quick 20 minute adventure to vote early only took 2.5 hours!

And because I didn't want to buck tradition, I stood outside in the wind and the rain and took a voting selfie.

Yep, that seems about right.

Ah, crap... that was only the second thing on my to-do list.

Let's speedrun the rest of this story, shall we?

I drove to FedEx. I hauled a 40 pound box inside. I plopped it on the counter and said, "Man, this thing is heavy!" as I tried to catch my breath. The 20 year old working there then lifted it like it was a feather and I felt great about that.

I drove to the gas station because I was nearly on empty—that is both a metaphor and not a metaphor. I filled my ride with go juice.

I noticed I was a mile from the tire store and they fill up tires for free. So I did that and the guy was super nice and complimented my tires. I felt both weird and proud about having my tires complimented. Like, I had nothing to do with my tires being nice. But I accepted the praise on their behalf.

I drove to the UPS store. The last time I was there I made a scene. They refused to box up a return and I got upset and wasn't feeling well and they had to find a chair for me to sit in because I was going to faint. So I was hoping the same woman wasn't there, but she was. She didn't recognize me, so it was fine.

I drove to my lawn guy's house. He wasn't home. I dropped a check in his mailbox. My checks have corgis on them. My checks are cute.

I drove to the post office. I sent a secret package to my bestie, Katrina. I'd tell you what is in it, but it is an inside joke and you wouldn't get it. The woman noticed my voting sticker and I couldn't help thinking about what I just accomplished to get that sticker.

On my way out I noticed a miracle.

2 of the 4 doors were fixed!

I mean, I don't know why they couldn't fix all 4, but now the employees won't freeze in the winter. So I take that as a win. It only took a year and a half to accomplish and I'm sure all of my phone calls and emails did not help at all. But I'm going to pretend I saved the day regardless.

And then... I drove home.

5 hours of errands.

I was so fucking tired. My back was on fire with pain. I immediately collapsed into my bed. I passed out. And I slept for 14 hours.

The End

I’ve been using Vuescan forever and get the many quirks, but since my dear old Minolta Dimage 5400 died, I needed a new scanner and the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i is a reasonable replacement that is well-loved by PC Magazine, Photo Focus and 35mmc ($499 with SilverFast AI Studio 9). They market this as a $299 value but it’s sort of a lie since this is tied to the actual scanner. So I would probably…

Photobook (Book Layout + Printing + Case Making)

While searching for a suitable printing service for my photobooks, I was recommended to check out Blurp, an online printing store that specializes in creating high-quality photo books.

Three kinds of books:

Layflat

Hardcover

Softcover

Five different kinds of paper:

LUXURIOUS Mohawk Superfine Eggshell

LUXURIOUS Mohawk ProPhoto Pearll

PREMIUM Lustre

PREMIUM Matte

Standard

Sizing decided - Standard Landscape

After looking at their options I decided to go with:

Hardcover book with PREMIUM Matte paper for Part 1 and Part 3 of the photo book. The premium matte paper would provide a high-quality finish to the images and elevate the overall look and feel of the book.

For Part 2 of the photobook, I decided to go with a softcover book with PREMIUM Matte paper. The soft cover would allow for easier flipping of pages, which was crucial for the flipbook section, and the premium matte paper would ensure consistency in the look and feel of the book.

Template/Layout Design

Initially, I started designing my photobook template on Indesign. However, once I opted to use Blurp for printing my books, I found that their software was a better option. It provided clear instructions and was more user-friendly, which reduced the risk of making errors in the design process, and once you create the book it directly uploads the work onto their website and makes it easier to send for printing. While Blurp did offer plugins for Indesign, I felt more confident using their software for creating the layout.

To maintain consistency among the three photobooks, I opted for a black cover with white writing for each book's cover page. With writing in the first page and last page of each book

Additionally, I added a QR code to the back of each book, which scans my Linktree profile. Although I initially had not included any information on the back cover, I received advice to do so, and later on, I realized the importance of providing additional information about my work to potential readers.

PART 1 + PART 3

Both these books have the same layout

Part 1

Part 3

There are only two distinctions between the books:

The first difference is that the book cover for Part 3 has the title in my mother tongue, Malayalam, on the front, and in English on the back. This is a significant aspect of the project.

The second difference is that the pages of this book are black, so the color contrast is more pronounced and consistent with the theme of this part.

Part 2

Cover Sheet

I designed a cover sheet to go along with the book, which includes a brief description of the whole project and each part. It also contains instructions on how to use the flipbook, so that readers can fully engage.

Photobook (Book Case)

I decided to create a bookcase for my photobooks, which proved to be a time-sensitive task since I could only begin constructing it once my books had arrived. Additionally, I had to coordinate with the technician who could assist me in the process. While this was a challenging experience, I was excited to learn new skills that were useful for the project.

I drew inspiration from various book sets that typically accompany books with multiple parts and wanted to incorporate a similar idea for my photobooks.

I wanted the bookcase to be black and embossed in front and on the spine of the book.

Day 1

To create the book cover, I began by measuring the photobooks and then cutting the board and paper to the appropriate size, leaving a few millimeters of extra space.

Next, I glued the paper onto the board, applying two different kinds of paper on each side of the board. One of the papers was very thin, while the other was slightly thicker. I had to wait for the glue to dry before proceeding further.

Day 2

And then glueing the paper onto the board each side of the board was glued on with two different kinds of paper. One very thin and one a little thicker. This had to be left to dry.

At first, I had intended to laser cut the writing and then emboss it onto the bookcase. Unfortunately, the writing turned out to be too small for laser cutting. As a result, the option of using vinyl was suggested, but I decided against it because I wanted the text to be embossed onto the bookcase.

The only option left to achieve my desired outcome was to use the traditional typesetting method. Though it was a fun process, it was also frustrating at times.

First, I had to find the right serif font to maintain consistency with the typeface used in the books. Finding the correct size for each font and letter was time-consuming since there were so many options (not organized)

Making the typesets was like constructing a puzzle or building a car part. It required precision and attention to detail to ensure that everything was correctly placed and remained tight.

Testing the typesets to see if they were positioned correctly or if they were aligned or not

Finally, I embossed the typesets onto the book cover panels, which was a bit scary since there was no time to remake them if anything went wrong. I had to ensure that they were aligned perfectly with my vision.

Typeset for the front

Typeset for the spine

Creating this was much harder as the size of the fonts got smaller it was harder to keep them straight and prevent them from falling.

(Triall embossing to check alignment)

Final Embossed Version

After embossing the panels I started to stick the pieces together. It was a little hard as the panels kept coming off, therefore I had to apply pressure and hold onto one panel for a while before moving to the next.

Left the box to dry before the next step

The ProPhoto RGB here is particularly funny because it has discrete color-space points for colors that humans don't recognize but lacks discrete color-space points for colors that humans do recognize. It only really lines up in the deep red range, and has a blue and green range of imaginary colors, yet cannot all the same distinguish many human-distinguishable blue-greens.

This is related to RGB being a decent first-order approximation of how human sight and light color work at the same time... but not actually a great approximation of either up close. Color is weird

i used to write under the pen-name Paris Green because Paris Green is (1) a neat color that doesn't actually display right on 99% of monitors (it's much richer and less blue in person) and (2) made of arsenic and is hence deadly poisonous
