Got this set a while ago as a present. I didn’t really feel like drawing last night but there was a new podcast that I wanted to listen to. There is a podcast I really like called Darknet Diaries. It is about hacking and cybersecurity. The guy does pretty deep dives on different subjects like the hacking of the XBox and how someone stole the prototype while it was being developed. He talks to different hackers and social engineers, which is a term I absolutely love as a relabeling of con-man. Anyway, this week was the story of Pirate Bay. Personally I never used Pirate Bay, it was hard to access, after hearing the story I understand why, and I thought it just seemed a little too sketchy. It is an amazing story that is hard to believe. It is like a David versus Goliath story where David is wearing a cocked flat-brimmed hat and walking around with both middle fingers...

  Laurie A Conley is an illustrator from Maryland. Her skills with pen and ink are mind boggling. She also has a whimsical yet dark sensibility that is adorable. She is an accomplished illustrator with many credits to her name but her little grim reapers and cute little ghosts are what really captured my attention. Her attention to detail and amazing line work reminds me of the amazing illustrations that used to grace newspapers and advertisements in the past. She draws like I wish I could. I have just recently come to grasp with the fact that I am a stippler but I wish so much I could do line work like her.         Sources: https://beacons.page/laurieaconleyart Home https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaurieAConleyArt Tweets by...
