French film director, producer, and screenwriter Louis Jean Lumière died #OTD in 1948.
Alongside his brother Auguste, Louis is best known for inventing the Cinématographe, a motion picture camera, projector, and printer all in one. The Lumière brothers' work laid the foundation for the film industry and revolutionized visual storytelling.
Impressionistic seascape in soothing, cheerful colors. Squint a bit and see if you can imagine the ocean on a warm day. Waves are rolling in, mountains anchor the horizon line, and a small island anchors the right side.
In the past weeks, I've passed by this beautiful flowering plant on my daily walks (recovering from cancer surgery). My recovery is going well, and getting stronger every day!
But before I went into surgery, I was working on these creative coding/generative art pieces built from the text "F*ck Cancer".
It amazes me how the colors of these go together so accidentally and yet beautifully.
Below are pics of the entire #quilts, and close-ups them. These were both made by my mom + are in storage at her place in New Jersey. Both would be great for anyone with small children, they'd be great for swaddling aa little one with. The dimensions of the 1st one are 44 x 54 in (112 x 137 in), the 2nd one is 52 x 72 in (132 x 183 cm). If u like either of these ones, or want to inquire about other quilts, send me a msg! I have about a dozen other ones to choose from too! ✨✨✨ #quilt#art#arts
Once in awhile, I realize how lucky I am to live in Chicago. There is an art student in some part of the world who would love to see this sculpture in person, but for whatever reason, won’t be able to make the trip. But I could theoretically see it every day. There are blessings like this is your life, too, if you know where (and how) to look.
