  • Beautiful, in a way it is like some poem. You did it with linocut ? :)

    thank you very much !! yes it's linocut , hand carved & hand printed :)

  • in terms of content, engraving on a support to coat it with ink is fairly traditional. in terms of form, rather contemporary.

    "Science With Synthesizers" -60x60 cm - Linocut Print -

    This composition, inspired by the eponymous track by the musician "Solvant", is a patchwork of symbolic elements borrowed from modular synthesizers and electronic sound creation. Made up of elements found in certain semi-modular synthesizer brands like Make Noise and their iconic designs, this work is a homogeneous and minimalist assembly of waveforms, electronic components, button symbols, jack cables, and other small details characteristic of these mysterious and monolithic instruments.

    "Science With Synthesizers"- Linocut Print- 60x60cm

Made up of elements found in certain semi-modular synthesizer brands like Make Noise and their iconic designs, this work is a homogeneous and minimalist assembly of waveforms, electronic components, button symbols, jack cables holes, and other small details characteristic of these mysterious and monolithic instruments.

    At the end of 2020, I owned a few semi-modular synthesizers that I would tinker with from time to time. I once had to make a choice between music creation or engraving. Rather than being mediocre in both areas, I chose to abandon one and focus on the other.

    This work is therefore a small personal tribute to certain styles of electronic music.

  • I’m not your little bitch. I’m not going to comb the internet to look for one little link I saw a week ago

    well, that escalated quickly

  • I’ve seen lithographs all over the Internet for something almost exactly like this but not quite

    aw, ok. could you send me a link if you find what it is?

  • Thank you very much and I'm glad you like it! :) you must certainly be talking about pioneer and voyager plates! they are indeed my primary source of inspiration and a thread that runs through all my engraving work.

  • These designs are kinda flooding the market lately.

    mhm, I don't know what “market” you're talking about but these are handmade art prints so you can't say I'm flooding the market even though I regularly post here or on reddit to present my work.

    "Radiant" Linoprint inspired by the stars, astrophysics & science fiction -70x100cm

  • This is beautiful. I have an old Hitchhikers’s Guide omnibus edition with gold lettering that this reminds me of. I should give the whole series another read. Thanks for posting this.

    ohhh I would love to have this! I have a very common edition bought in a bookstore but this kind of work deserves a nice edition! :) good proofreading

  • ;) they inspired me for the title of the work and I listened to them a lot during the dozens of hours of conception.

  • I recently went through most of my accounts and randomized the username, with the thought here being to limit the likelihood of one site being compromised leading to accounts at other sites being compromised. I don’t have to remember them due to using a password manager, so it’s really no skin off my nose.

    I’ll use this as a reminder to everyone to improve your security. Some ideas:

     undefined
            use a password manager and use random usernames and passwords
        have multiple email accounts, and don’t use your “main” email w/ random signups - I use a simple mnemonic, like “<user>-<purpose>@domain.com”; so “[email protected]” or “[email protected]” so it’s easy for me to remember, but unlikely for a lazy hacker to pwn other accounts (a lot of these are automated); my real email is “[email protected]”
        use 2FA if offered, even if it’s stupid SMS or email based; having any extra step can deter an attacker
    
    
      

    Sucks that people are targeting IA, I hope there isn’t any lasting damage and that this is a simple defacement/DOS.

    thanks for the advices ! Would you recommend a particular password manager?

    Sci-fi / Physics inspired linocut print. The entire central vertical part is the graphic representation of the famous double split experiment which HiGhTLiGhT the wave / corpuscle duality of light.

    Everything is mixed with abstract elements and scientific diagrams about quantum physics. the composition is above all graphic, it is not popularization or a scientific representation.
