Cat
Something happened the other day in one of my cat poses. I had a nasal breakthrough. Related yoga posts.

If the linguist in Arrival spoke Pittsburghese
I never ever thought I’d hear anyone say “Sapir-Whorf hypothesis” in a movie, but I heard it in Arrival! Ok, it was a science fiction film. See trailer here. Linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is asked to help the United States communicate with aliens, and she’s the one who talks about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
I liked the movie, but something inside me made me wonder how it would have been different if Professor Banks had been fluent in Pittsburghese. See yinz.

Temporarily Functional
Still Reddin’ Up
Oh, I found one more. This’ll make more sense if you view the previous post, Reddin’ Up for Pete’s Sake. I just found one more drawing, “Red Meat Election.”

Reddin’ Up for Pete’s Sake
I grew up with that gem of an expression, to red up, most likely related to the word “ready.” It means to lightly clean i.e., to make ready. Yep, I’m reddin’ up by posting these four drawings done somewhere between California’s Central Valley and Kauai so I can move on for Pete’s sake.
Here they are separately:
Public Infrastructure
Sidely Plankage
Selfie
The Mural that Ate the City
They’re taking over some cities and towns, intra- and extra-murally. There’s a bit of a Blue light special. Don’t get me wrong’ I generally like’me.
Technical: I inductively started, practically finished, and penultimately exported as a jpeg the main drawing in Tayasui Sketches. Then I imported it three times on three different layers into Sketch Club, transforming it twice for placement on the opposing walls. In Sketch Club it’s pretty easy to “transform” images without much interference in positioning. I accommodated the layers in Sketch Club by erasing here and smudging there. Then, finally, I sharpened the exported composite image in iColorama.
