I think the first podcast I ever listened to- back when podcasts were not as popular/accessible as they are today- was a radiolab piece on colors, the perception of colors, and mantis shrimp. Mantis shrimp came up because they have 16 visual cones/receptors in their eyes compared to a human’s meager 5. (However, in a follow-up segment it's posited that their brains are so small that they cannot fully appreciate this color-recepting superpower.) The episode was so informative and entertaining to me that I think it’s the only podcast episode I’ve ever listened to more than once. (Except for another radiolab episode about face blindness.)

Definitely worth a listen if you are curious. There's also 2 follow-up segments as well. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/episodes/211119-colors

A living, breathing collection. A daily microdose of creativity. Inviting more Play into my life by treating it like Work (by applying discipline and fake deadlines). I'm attempting to create one piece of art per day for... a week? a month? a year? We'll see. I'm mostly doing this for me, but I hope it's fun for you too.

All IRL pieces are created on 5x7" watercolor sheets and scanned in at 600dpi. (The painted area is 4x4" and there is text below which denotes the date.) Most have an accompanying video showing a timelapse of their creation posted on IG or tiktok.

This is definitely a project in which the sum of the work is probably more interesting than any of the individual paintings. However, the addition of the dates might appeal to some sentimental folks as well. And I can't think of a more literal way to show "The Process" of being a working and developing artist exploring the metaverse.
