jtotheizzoe: via danorst: Moon Rise Time Slice…. this is a collage of 11 photos taken over 27 minutes and 59 seconds Gorgeous. Also photographic proof that the moon is not, in fact, larger near the horizon. That is merely an illusion. What do they call that illusion? “The Moon Illusion” of course. ASAPScience did a really nice video about it. Not only that, but see how the moon is red near the horizon? That’s because of the same science that makes the sunsets red and orange! And I did a video about that: “Why is the Sky Any Color At All?” It all comes together, man! Science!

books0977: Die Sentimentale (circa 1846). Johann Peter Hasenclever (1810–1853). Oil on canvas. Galerie Bassenge. “I had forgotten to draw my curtain, which I usually did; and also to let down my window-blind. The consequence was, that when the moon, which was full and bright, (for the night was fine) came in her course to that space in the sky opposite my casement, and looked in at me through the unveiled panes, her glorious gaze roused me. Awaking in the dead of night, I opened my eyes on her disk – silver-white and crystal-clear. It was beautiful, but too solemn: I half rose, and stretched my arm to draw the curtain.” ~ From Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre

samsketch: I’m very excited to finally be able to share one of the illustrations I’ve been working on. A few months ago I was contacted by Chris Baty (of NaNoWriMo fame) to illustrate a poster centered around encouraging people to write! I had a lot of fun with this painting; it’s always nice when your freelance work allows you to do something completely different from your day job, and this poster did just that for me. If you’re interested in buying this poster (or perhaps another poster in Chris’ shop), you can find a large version here and a small version here.  Also, this week has been quite the adventure for me, as I’ve been offered a position as a visual development artist at Sony Pictures Animation on “Cloudy 2”! It’s only been one week, and already I’ve learned so much from being surrounded by the incredible talent there!
