SCIENTISTS GAVE THIS PREYING MANTIS TINY 3D GLASSES TO TEST ITS DEPTH PERCEPTION
The mantises were then shuffled into a “3D insect cinema” and shown computer-generated images of different targets moving toward them. The results will help scientists get a better understanding in how 3D vision evolved!
When I was growing up, I was always told that my artwork should be a fun hobby, not something I should pursue to make a living. For a long time I listened to that advice, I got a “real” job, and I made art on the side, when I had time, mostly late at night after I was exhausted from working all day. And for a long time I was completely miserable.
Then one day I started making these pink ambivalent drawings and posting them online and people started reblogging them and liking them and writing to me to encourage me to keep making them. Eventually it occurred to me that while my parent’s and teacher’s advice may have been well-intended, it was perhaps wrong. Maybe my art was the thing I needed to do full time….
This past weekend I had a table at the Expozine fair in Montreal, and I was overwhelmed with how supportive people were of my work. It has really encouraged me to keep making these pink drawings that have always meant so much to me but which I’ve always assumed would seem silly to everyone else. So thank you to everyone who have supported not only me but all fo my independent creative friends. Thank you to @lovestruckprints and @femme-crimes who shared a table with me and helped me get my shit together in time to participate in the show.
**Also, I know I haven’t been answering as many tumblr messages as I usually do, it’s not because I don’t care or am uninspired, I’m just working on a few other things (all related to this) that are temporarily taking up a little of my time. I also have over 1000 pending messages, so if I haven’t answered you, please don’t take it personally. I read and appreciate every message and will try to answer more very soon.
thank you, thank you, thank you.
