again?
>>719391857
>>719391705
Trust me it is. Went from something fun to shit.
>>719392112
Is it still something you like?
>>719392194
Sometimes.
>>719392252
Well at least you like it sometimes, and it seems like you make some money off it. I hate my job.
I should probably clean up and remove all the oily rags I have piled up in the corners of my studio.
>>719392555
Why do you have oily rags in your studio?
>>719392655
Because I use oil paint so the rags I use to clean my brushes and scrub the canvases are soaked in oil and solvents. Both of which are highly flammable to the point where they can spontaneously combust.
>>719392803
Do you make money off the paintings? Why do you leave the rags there if it's so dangerous?
>>719392504
What do you do?
>>719392982
I have made a little money in the past, I'm currently working on building a body of work and portfolio to send to galleries I leave them there because I just chuck them away while I'm painting and when I'm not painting I don't want to do anything but sit around and think about painting.
>>719393115
I calibrate and repair test maintenance and diagnostic equipment, Very boring.
>>719391650
why does the fox have the shadow of gondola
>>719393121
I see you're very focused on your work.
>>719393467
Sounds kinda neat. What type of equipment?
>>719393491
The shadow is of the back legs. The sun is low in the sky.
>>719393514
I am focused almost entirely on art. I am always thinking about the problems, what it means, is it even possible, and so on.
>>719393565
Frequency generators and analyzers, oscilloscopes,flash point testers, multimeters, torque wrenches, dial indicators, medical equipment, anything that takes or makes a measurement. I'm a metrologist.
>>719393679
Sounds neat! do you have a website?
>>719393765
That sounds neat.
I could use an oscilloscopes
>>719393821
Why would you need an O-scope?
>>719393795
I do not. I am going to go to this place that makes prints of paintings on Saturday to talk and see what all they can do for me as far as photographing goes. The cost and quality and all that. If they can help me I'll get them to photograph my stuff, then work on building a website while putting together a bio and write a statement. As it stands I have an instagram.
>>719393924
Well at least you have instagram. What does your art look like?
>>719393893
Too see if a consoles clock signal is working.
>>719394192
Like this. I come from the New York School and Colorfield movement as well as Japanese and Western landscape painting.
>>719394384
O-scopes do test time/period, as well as frequency. Also amplitude and dB (same thing kind of) to a certain extant. I didn't know older consoles had a clock signal. There are also clock calibrators out there.
>>719394663
>>719394597
Yeah they do. I've had consoles seemly be fine and not work at all. Would be nice to probe around and see if the chips where giving the right signals.
Course I'd have to get trained on how to use a scope.
>>719394585
I apologize, but I don't really understand what I'm looking at. Could you please explain something about the art you have created?
>>719394585
looks like a moldy mattress
actually my moldy mattress is nicer than that
>>719394768
They are relatively easy to learn how to use. They mostly have the same functions. It's mainly about what's different interface-wise between manufacturers.
>>719394768
Also they have different accuracies depending on the model
>>719394918
>>719395002
Yeah, I can imagine they're different
I don't even know a good brand,
I saw a few at Frys for $600 or so.
>>719394775
It's a painting, that is what you are looking at. My color is heavily dependent upon the natural color of the area I grew up, which is the Mojave Desert in California. A lot of golden browns, yellows, and pinks in the land itself, and a vast range of colors in the sky at sunset and sunrise. My interest lies in the material as material, I don't want to give the impression that this is anything but oil paint you are looking at. The process is also a vital part of it. Putting paint on, scraping it off, painting over and through areas, scrubbing the paint on the canvas with solvent soaked rags, and always looking, feeling how the painting is developing. I'm also intensely interested in creating a place of solitude in the canvas, where one can go and be by ones self.
>>719394788
You shouldn't sleep on a moldy mattress.
>>719395013
Agilent/HP, tektronix, keysight maybe. All good ones are expensive. You can go digital or cathode ray tube which is older. Both work.
>>719395123
i mean i can appreciate the effort but i feel like art should be interpreted properly without needing an explanation
even then it's pretty vague
>>719395209
As much as I'd like to use an older model a digital one offers much more I think.
I just wish Hakko made one.
Maybe Fluke makes one as well.
>>719395123
You sound very interested and dedicated to your craft! I'm happy for you!
>>719395306
Fluke makes good ones as well! Fluke is one of the more solid companies out there for test maintenance and diagnostic equipment.
>>719395401
I thought they might. I have a 117 multi meter I use for everything.
>>719395243
I don't feel the need to explain my work, honestly. I often don't unless specifically asked, and even then it's not "this painting is about this" so to speak. The viewer is free to think and feel whatever they want about it. Unfortunately for this kind of work, it takes time. You can't just give it a quick glance and get it. You have to spend time with it, which most people don't have to give.
>>719395318
I went to school for painting, it is my entire life and my main concern. If Snuggles were here he could tell you how terrible this is for me. It drives me mad and makes me a rather miserable person most of the time.
>>719395469
I like the 87 series personally, but 117's are still good. 87 series are more expensive anyway I think.
>>719395568
to each his own i suppose
>>719395568
Whether you are miserable or not, at least you have a passion that you're following. That's a great thing! Even if it's tough sometimes.
>>719395600
I'm not doing anything too advanced. Continuity, DC voltage test, and maybe capacitance although I have another meter for that.
>>719395708
That makes sense. That's what most of them are used for anyway.Resistance, voltage, and current are the main things. Capacitance, frequency, and temp usually take a back seat. I hate calibrating those functions when the customer doesn't actually need it.
>>719395634
Indeed. The painter whose work made me a painter said something along the lines of what you said. He said he was disgusted with the kind of work you need to go and get an education to understand. That pure abstraction was like a special club that only an elite few are able to be initiated in. He abandoned abstraction completely and returned to figurative work exclusively for the last twelve years of his life.
>>719395693
It's more an obsession than a passion. Art is a great thing though, it excites me unlike anything else. Even when I am miserable from it, the successful conclusion of a painting thrills me to the point where I am as high as a kite.
>>719395874
First though I need to get a PVM or BVM so I can start modding consoles.
>>719395927
Sounds like a passion to me. If it excites you like nothing else I say continue with it.
>>719395927
definitely do continue to pursue it though. art is art and i believe all art is equally beautiful if the effort and meaning is there.
good luck man
>>719396001
That's cool! I've never looked into modding consoles before. I mainly use emulators. Although I still use my SNES and N64 on a regular basis.
>>719396241
What type of SNES do you have? The first boxy model or the second more sleek one? All models of the first version can output S-video and RGB by default, just need the cables. The SNES Jr needs an RGB/S-video amp.
As for the N64 you can tell if your N64 is RGB compatible by the serial number. If it Starts with NUS1 then you most likely have a model that can be modded.
>>719396059
Perhaps, I think it more like an obsession though. I can't not do it no matter how much I want to stop. If I go too long without painting I start to lose touch with reality and my behavior becomes erratic. It's a very strange thing. Thank you though.
>>719396122
Yes, thank you.
>>719396445
I have a first gen SNES, same one since I was a child. I have another boxy model SNES as well that I keep at my Aunt's lake house for use by myself and cousins. This means I have two copies of every game I own. I don't care to look at my N64 at the moment, but I believe my current one is one of the later models.
>>719396651
You have two copies of your favorite games?
Like what?
>>719396458
obsessions can also be passions I think. I envy you.
>>719396823
Do you not have anything that obsesses you?
>>719396734
All three DK countries, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario All-stars with world, Zelda, MarioKart, metroid, yoshis island,chrono trigger, earthbound, castlevania,sunset riders, earthworm jim, star wars, etc.
>>719397220
Those are some good games.
If you want to sell any copies let me know.
>>719396899
Not really, I haven't been passionate about anything for a while.
>>719397280
What in the past were you passionate about?
>>719397268
My cousins and I enjoy them too much. Unless I move away I don't think I could ever sell them.
>>719397392
Of if some one made the right offer.
you have quite a few there that would go for some nice money.
>>719397478
Or*
getting tired
>>719397367
I liked video games for a long while and I was quite good at them, still am. It just doesn't get me excited anymore. I used to play and be passionate about football and soccer too. I'm still looking for something new.
>>719397478
They're worth more to me personally than that for the time being. I may sell some in the eventually though.
>>719397735
Yeah, I understand.
>>719397735
>>719397537
That last sentence was a train wreck.
>>719397590
Have you tried philosophy? Albert Camus, the French Absurdist author, play write, and philosopher started as a soccer player, he was considered a very good player that could have gone pro had it not been his development of TB at the age of 23 that ended his career. He once stated in an interview that everything he learned of human nature and morality he learned from playing soccer and in a conversation with Sartre, the French Existentialist, he stated, when asked outright if he had to choose between the theater and soccer (football), "Football without hesitation."
>>719397883
I'm not sure there's much for work in philosophy. As for any potential sports career, it was ruined when I tore my left ACL and my right achilles. Since then I've broken both ankles twice and dislocated my left knee once. My lungs have also been separated from my rib cage once as well.
>>719397775
oh yeah I have starfox too.
>>719398197
Star fox on the SNES suffers from frame rate issues. I though about overclocking the cartridge though to fix that.
>>719398121
What did you do to cause that to happen?
>>719398292
Neat! How would you go about that?
>>719398394
you cut the clock signal and wire in a slightly faster crystal.
Results in more FPS but the music is tied into the clock signal so it also speeds up slightly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLcw3O7aTgo
>>719398559
It looks so much better! Maybe I should do that. Do all the older consoles have oscillators in them?
>>719398799
Star Fox is an exception. It has an on board processor, clock and ram that essentially took over the SNES system and used it as a video/controller pass though. All the FX games do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_FX
And yeah, you could over clock other consoles. I've seen over clocks for the game boy, NES and the Sega Genesis.
>>719398941
Why would you overclock a gameboy?
>>719399354
To see if it can be done.
Why else.
anyways going to bed
>>719399354
gb was intentionaly under clocked to save batteries. games actually run slower than they should. overclock gb to play them correctly.
>>719399487
Goodnight Luc.

Neat!
