How I draw
You guys keep asking me this, so I’m making an updated process post/tutorial. Under the cut for more!
O HAI
this is jack, the dude who posts on this tumblr 90% of the time. i’m enjoying a well-deserved dogfish head with my beautiful girlfriend after sludging through 5 years of college, three different schools, and 4 different majors.
if you think i’m cool or whatever, you should follow my personal tumblr, american-sublime. i post lots of art, music, queer stuff, and stupid tim and eric gifs. FOLLOW ME YOU’LL LOVE IT ON YOUR DASHBOARD lolololol
i’m graduating, but fear not! curatingvisualculture isn’t going anywhere. i’ll still be posting on here as often as possible. let me know if you’re interested in becoming a contributor!

Are you phone enough?
As is emphasized admirably by the kind of Kantian that Sade was, one can only enjoy a part of the Other’s body, for the simple reason that one has never seen a body completely wrap itself around the Other’s body, to the point of surrounding and phagocytizing it. That is why we must confine ourselves to simply giving it a little squeeze, like that, taking a forearm or anything else — ouch!

Unfolding the Earth: myriahedral projections
Mapping the earth is a classic problem. For thousands of years cartographers, mathematicians, and inventors have come up with methods to map the curved surface of the earth to a flat plane. The main problem is that you cannot do this perfectly, such that both the shape and size of the surface are depicted properly everywhere. This has intrigued me for a long time. Why not just take a map of a small part of the earth, which is almost perfect, glue neighboring maps to it, and repeat this until the whole earth is shown? Of course you get interrupts, but does this matter? What does such a map look like? To check this out, we developed myriahedral projections.
