Making an ePub in Apple pages (Part Two)
Last year I started experimenting with making ePubs in Pages. I had previously dabbled in hand coding epubs in 2015 using open source software like Calibre and Sigil. Sometime in 2018 Apple announced that their software Apple Pages can now export not only in epub, but to fixed layout epub. Perfect for comics.
Free Wordle Scratchpad Template
Wordle still continues to be a daily dose of normal in a weird time. I don't try to play competitively with Wordle, meaning I just do it for fun and not obsess about how many rows it takes. However, when I find myself on row 4 and I'm still not really getting anywhere I break out a sheet of paper r or post-it notes and quickly draw a series of 5 underlines.
I don't like tags at face value but i do enjoy the ocasionally interesting inetraction between people on in a public space. Also this little building is like an odd little piece of sculpture.
ReplyDeleteArt within an artwork :)
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm always trying to come to grips with my different modes of expression. But it's silly as i certainly know it fine for an artist to have multiple modes...
ReplyDeleteSo when I see something like this building with all the marks over it I feel inspired and think do I make a drawing, sculpture, photograph ect...
anything is better than plain grey cement, or fibro, or whatever that building is made of... still, half-arsed tags have to be the lowest form of art.
ReplyDeleteAfter studying 'fine art' for 3 years and struggling to find a place for myself with having a strong comic background, I came to realise that the term high and low is irrelevant. Like I said I might'nt totaly agree or understand tagging but there is still a beauty to it...

No problens Julian. The best way to find out about bloggin is to dive right in and set yourself up with a blog at blogger.com livejournal.com myspace.com etc. Although blogger is alot more user friendly I find...
ReplyDeleteAnthony, I totally agree! I've had this argument with a lot of people, and I'm just not against graffiti per se, particularly the well-done stuff. Some of these artists have colour sense we could all learn from!
ReplyDeleteWhat I do hate to see is when graffiti artists destroy public artworks, or each other's art. We have a couple of painted murals near where I live and someone has done really basic white tags repeatedly across it. Lack of disrespect for another artist's work is difficult to understand.
Correction: lack of respect
