Do you have a TV in your home?Since many people seem curious about this distinct question:
If you have a TV is it set up to watch broadcast media?
That is, can you watch cable TV or local channels?

That is a large screen on a shelf, table or wall for watching videos and movies not a computer monitor.
(A screen with a keyboard in front of it that you sit at is not a "TV")

The Seraphim have six wings and many eyes.The Seraphim have six wings and many eyes. But perhaps that is just a typo. It must be six legs, four wings, and many eyes I think.

Jonesy hanging out on the drafting table.He looks: sad, skeptical, hopeful but just a little disappointed.
Cats have such expressive faces. I don't know if they are aware of this totally.
Please give him whatever he wants.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@TheIdOfAlan/115527111496219848I just think that like his fish in "depth" they are stylized to look more like a machine.

Last week I wrote that Escher hasn't been positively regarded by art critics for years. But in the end he himself was his greatest critic. There are certainly e

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@TheIdOfAlan/115527111496219848The most famous ants of M. C. Escher, the ones on the Möbius strip, are in my opinion *not* living ants of any species but cute ant robots.
They are highly stylized wile retaining some essential "essence of ant"
(I would also like to point out that NO ONE has made a robot as good as these robot ants in real life. Show me that and I will be impressed forever.)

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@TheIdOfAlan/115527111496219848There is so much geometry in the exoskeleton of an ant. You could look at it forever and still not fully understand all of the ways it has been shaped by her purpose.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@TheIdOfAlan/115527111496219848I've found the studies for the final drawing:
In the second one you can see that the gaster is shaded as if it's a darker color than the body, which makes the "red wood ant" theory more likely IMO.
The head is less stylized on the second drawing. I think he just got excited by the geometry of the ant's head and made it strange in a way that made it harder to pinpoint the species in the final drawing.

Great.Great. Now I'm thinking about ants with teeth.

"I can't leave work, two of my bosses have me pinned down"Looks like you are petting a cat for the next few hours and not moving.

Are teeth ever NOT creepy?And before you try to say "mandibles are creepy" consider that almost everyone has mandibles and teeth are not very popular by comparison.

Are teeth ever NOT creepy?Pica's head is like a hamburger and opens up just like one... then it's full of teeth. Horrible.
