adobe made a big step today.
online version of photoshop express.
it is very very limited set of features and tools,
more like adjustments. no brushes ((((
photoshop.com/express



this is important because it is a very symbolic - a traditional desktop tool is getting to be a web app!
relevance of operating systems, local personal computers and large hard drives diminishes, and all new brave world of webapps is coming to eclipse it. it will take years. so did the pc revolution. and now we are going back to mainframes. it is a spiral, or i'd even say fractal. borganization and freedom are heading our way.

p.s. i got to boston, did not have much time to see people yet

all of us are capable, smart, artistic, talented and beautiful. we can get anything, be anyone, do anything and the only limiting thing is the box that limits our imagination and that box is constructed by us.
be free and get out of that box, just do.

happy new year!


couple days ago we had a little photo-shoot,
that’s me by zhuchkin

there are many ways to sort things out. some folks make lists, some apply labels or find metaphors or correlations to everything they see. it is all fine, but i realized that for me the most visually presentable tool is scale and thus i arrange everything to to some various scales.
and it does not really mean to put thinks on one line in a special order, no. it's really important to to figure out what belong to some scale and what to a completely different one. but in the same time it got some perceivable unrelated things on one scale and it makes a lot of sense now.

it works for general thoughts and theories as well as for a wide range of things from politics to sex, from exact sciences to associations.

maybe you use something else, but because i am a really detail oriented person and pay attention to even smallest things, gravitate to systematics and rooting the causes - i came to the scales as the best working model

but it is all a nonsense in a way, listening to music and drawing is way more appealing

at last i got the idea for the story, that i can use to make a short animation!
it was a long tormenting processes for me, but now i know when it will be about and i can start actually draw images

it will be called "love, can't"

and here's one more photo from pyramid lake

i have many avatars (user pics), but I do not like them any more.
but recently nineska had a photo-shoot and i was of the one of the subjects

i made a new avatar from one of the pictures

what do you think?
