Monster in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Against at wallpapered background of pale green, blue and pink flowers, sits a china teacup. Its occupant is a small blue, tapir-like creature glancing nervously at the viewer. Sunlight casts a gentle purple shadow on the bright golden tabletop. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

ITs History!
The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

A line drawing of a strange-looking young girl. Dressed in somber umber, with purple vine patterns, she stands staring out at the view with multicolored pinwheel eyes, appearing rather desperate and lonely. Her skimpy braided hair hangs limply on either side of her forlorn face. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Sudelsurium

✍️✉️✍️ Ich mag die Zeichenkorrespondenz von Eva Muggenthaler und Jens Rassmus sehr. Die beiden sind damit Ende Februar von Instagram zu Pixelfed umgezogen.

Hier der Start des kollaborativen Projekts:
👉 pixelfed.social/p/die.aufgabe/

Ihr könnt natürlich auch von Mastodon aus folgen: @die.aufgabe

(Wenn Ihr Kinder kennt, lest ihnen bitte auch das wunderschöne Bilderbuch „Paulas Reisen“ von Paul Maar mit den Illustrationen von Eva Muggenthaler vor.)

PixelfedDie Aufgabe (@die.aufgabe@pixelfed.social)- 1 - 

Seit 2021 führen wir eine Zeichenkorrespondenz, bei der wir uns gegenseitig - per Post - Bilder zuschicken. Jede Zeichnung bezieht sich dabei auf die vorige, so dass die Bilder zu einer Geschichte werden. 
 Abgesehen vom feststehenden Format (A5) gibt es keine Regeln oder Absprachen, und wir wissen selbst nicht, wohin das alles führen wird...
 (Bislang waren wir mit diesem Gemeinschaftsprojektes auf instagram - doch aufgrund der letzten Entwicklungen bei meta haben wir beschlossen umzuziehen.) --- Since 2021, we have been doing this "drawing correspondence", where we send each other pictures by letter mail. Each drawing relates to the previous one, and thus a story unfolds. Aside from the fixed format (A5), there are no rules or agreements. And we have no idea where it will all lead... (So far, we have shared this collaborative project on Instagram, but due to recent developments at meta, we have decided to move.)" #jensrassmus #zeichnung #drawing #drawingstory #bildergeschichte #picturestory #geschichteohneworte #storywithoutwords #comic #korrespondenz #correspondence #openend #illustrator #illustration #graphicnovel #graphicnovels #graphicnovelart #graphicnovelist #mysterystory

Entranced
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

☆ Puka ♡ :blobcat_devil:

Después de darle muchas vueltas al final me decidí por el formato zine para publicar lo que quería publicar. Así que tengo un zine nuevo en preparación :meowybara: este se va a llamar "Zine Monstruo". El texto ya está, me falta dejarlo bonito. Me va a quedar larguísimo jajaja pero no me importa.

Página del fanzine con rayas grises y blancas de fondo, un dibujo de Loki con ropa punk y sosteniendo un frasco lleno de veneno, el dibujo parece pegado a la página con cinta adhesiva. Hay pequeños monstruos por toda la página y uno de ellos prende fuego a una esquina del dibujo. Hay un trozo de cartón en la parte inferior que dice: "Este zine está dedicado a Loki Que en mi mundo imaginario se llama 'El Escorpión' Porque acá decidió usar el veneno de la serpiente de su castigo como tinta y hacerse tatuador. Y porque es la madre de los Monstruos del Fin del Mundo."
