Creative spaces for use?

Moving into a small shared space and realizing it’ll be tough to do things like paint, draw, use mixed media and spread out, etc. Any suggestions or ideas on spaces that exist in DC that can accommodate this, or should I just expect to work within my own parameters? The freer the better, but that seems like a tough ask and probably not all that realistic. Open to any input!

Abusing Designers

DG Creative Media recently had 15+ designers do 12-20 hours of unpaid labor on a “test assignment”. Founder Danielle is unapologetically running her company on the backs of desperate creators. Do not use this woman’s company if you live in the NYC area.

Fan art for windmill head the original creature by my friend on Instagram

I found him moving through streets; I thought he was just a figment of my imagination, but he wasn't .

Transforming NASA's asteroid data into [MIDI] in real-time

Through the use of NASA’s API and TouchDesigner, I’ve managed to capture near-earth space objects data [asteroids and fireballs], and used it to trigger MIDI signals in Ableton Live. Said signals are feeding a stock sampler, which happens to be loaded with a couple of one of my favorite artist’s vocal takes.

To give it a little more musicality to the experiment, I decided to iterate through the data of the last six objects that passed close to Earth between the selected dates.

Data goes as follows:

total-radiated-energy → C1 to B1
impact-energy → C1 to B1, C2 to B2 and C3 to B3
latitude → C2 to B2
longitude → C1 to B1 and C3 to B3
altitude → beat repeat’s interval, grid and gate
velocity → beat repeat’s offset and variations

More experiments, through my YouTube channel, project files available through the Tools Store.

In old family photo files in an old house

The grain of the 1974 polaroid didn't just hide the dust; it hid them.We thought the party was crowded because of the neighbors, but the headcount never matched the invitations. It always started with a sudden chill that smelled like wet basement floorboards. Then, the shadows against the plaster wall would begin to stretch, independent of the lamp light.No one looked directly at the corner. To acknowledge the thing with the hollow eyes—the one suspended like a deflated, weeping mass from the ceiling joists—meant letting it know it had been seen. It didn't breathe, but it vibrated, a low hum that made your molars ache. It would hover just above the laughter, mimic the shape of a coat rack or a hanging decoration, waiting for the crowd to thin.The worst part wasn't the way it looked. It was looking at the old photo decades later and realizing that the person standing directly beneath its hanging, needle .

The Midnight Wanderer

03:14 AM. The streetlights on 4th Avenue always flicker, but tonight they just stayed dim. We thought it was a trick of the shadows at the end of the alley until it turned around. It didn't have eyes, but I know it saw us. It just stood there, smiling with too many teeth, waiting for us to blink .

Does anyone else have the urge to capture and express the beauty of nature almost daily?

I am continuously stunned by the everyday beauty and variations of the nature that surrounds us and we’re part of. I feel the need to deeply appreciate and capture this beauty and its effects, usually through writing poetry throughout the week. It helps me feel satisfied in connecting to and distilling the beauty of nature’s beauty in a particular moment. So that it can in a way be appreciated and experienced beyond the moment. Is anyone else similarly inspired?

Any creative ideas

for how I could repaint my house? It’s tall and sorta geometrically chopped up by trim section but mostly all the same color of beige. I’d like to repaint with a tasteful but stylish color scheme. Any suggestions ?

Need help bringing this idea to life

I want to get a shirt made for my partner’s birthday by next week. I have a proof of the design that I like but am having trouble on the shirt platforms to get it where I want it. It would be preferred to do DTG. Happy to provide other features as needed. Can someone point me in the right direction? TIA

Need for Inspiration

Hey friends!

I've recently gone through a huge lifestyle change by moving out and far away from my parents and boyfriend.

Developing as a knitter, crafter, hobbyist of all things, I used Pinterest and Instagram for creative inspiration to get ideas for what I wanted to make next.

What are y'all using as a "magazine" or "lookbook" for ideas that isn't ad-ridden or AI slop?

Any great retro crafting books I should look into?

I just want authentic creative research.

**This does not have to apply to knitting. I am very receptive to learning a new hobby/craft!**

P.S. I crochet, knit, origami, sew, mold clay, sketch, embroider, etc.

Looking for photoshoot ideas

Hope this is ok to post.

I'm actually a recently-hatched trans girl and have the opportunity to do a small photoshoot alongside some actual models (lol, I'm certainly no model!).

I've been asked to suggest some ideas for a scenario to shoot, so I'm hoping to crowd source some ideas please!

Some ideas suggested so far are: a wedding, a picnic..

The broad intent is to create some fem-centric images of an event. (happy to have men in the shoot too)

Any ideas are welcome! Thankyou

Easy and creative ideas please

Hi, I just made this round crochet and initially it was supposed to be something else but I don’t have enough for that so does anyone have an idea what I can turn it into? Also I’m a beginner so I don’t want something very hard but willing to do some challenge! So far I thought about doing a taco and a flower, but have no clue how to do the petals so please any ideas and patterns suggestion! Thanks!!!
