Must be a problem on your end. I can upload an image just fine on my phone.

I also can’t change my profile picture I’m guessing something broke

Now that the change profile picture button works again

Yeah, that one´s classy. Might go back to it at some point, but since there´s quite a few black-and-white PPs on the forum already, I wanted something more visually unique/distinct.

A badger with a gun might be quite cool, ngl :grin:

A quick google search actually yielded some interesting results - one´s colour background is even almost identical to the Chameleon cover.

Anyways, I´ve been jumping between and replaying Splinter Cell games in the past weeks, and it has once again made me upset about the state of the franchise and the direction it took, as well as saddened that we never got the original version of Conviction…

So for now at least, I´ll switch to Hobo Sam Fisher. Always liked the design and visual tone of that one.

I like the distinct, and appropriate, touch of colour it brings.

How is the color appropriate?

Its blue, Heis. Like the meth from the show.

Oooh. Well, it’s more teal or turquoise, but ok, I get it now.

To be fair I also associate turquoise blue with the US Southwest setting of the show.

You watching the show now, or you just know that from general knowledge?

General knowledge, I have yet to actually watch the show. I have been meaning to for the longest time though.

Changing my profile pic here for the rest of September since I received this awesome art as a birthday gift from KingFahad360 and u/eh_101 on Reddit. :slight_smile: They did a really slick job.

I’m out of Gabriel Knight pictures to use for my profile so I decided I may as well go with a picture of our favorite outfit - black suit, white shirt, red tie. It’s a pretty famous look and instantly recognizable!

This was the the result of Ort-Meyer working while drunk.

“I started working as a hitman, I still don’t get no respect. My old man, ya know, he told me I couldn’t cut it. He said if I tried to shoot someone with a sniper rifle, I’d just shoot myself in the foot. And my wife, she told me she didn’t believe me. I asked her what I could do to prove it to her. She gave me an envelope and said if I killed the person in the picture inside, she’d believe me. So I opened it up, it was a picture of me.”

Monument to V Tatlin


Dan Flavin: Lord of Light and Liminal
Yeah I am back after so long and since I am going back to basics I thought I might as well do it with a minimalist, the fluorescent sculptures of Dan Flavin.

Flavin’s works with light are often very simple with very little actual intended meaning on Flavin’s part beyond the fact that these works are often memorials to people Flavin knew or those who he admired artistically such is the case with his Monument to V. Tatlin series which encompasses close to 40 pieces over a thirty year period dedicated to the constructionist artist and architect Vladimir Tatlin.

According to Flavin the structures in the Monuments are American office blocks according to the principles of Constructivism which draws a line from Flavin’s American working class to the proletariat masses of Tatlin’s Russia. Monumentality also appears in Flavin’s use of stark and harsh white lights which almost draws parallels to the sort of grim and naked white marble and plasters of monuments. The temporary nature of the lights along with their colouration, how they flicker and burn out also gives it an ironic nod to the ephemeral nature of both the human being and towards the many ideas we have yet never come to pass.

A model of the Monument to the Third International if you are curious (not to scale obviously, it was to be bigger than the Eiffel Tower) and yes I am aware that it resembles the matchbox structure you make in the Communist vision quest in Disco Elysium.
