Generative content for thumbnails is a turn off from engaging any further with the media that is attached to it. Legitimately, just use stock photos. Support someone out there who is making a ... Bandwidth Exceeded ## [fella](https://vincentgonzalez.com/fella/) _2026-08-17 · vincent · Vincent Gonzalez_ I was thinking about how I wanted to paint. I brought out some semi-hard pastels and had a good time learning how they work. I forgot how soft and semi-hard pastels can be a bit messy. ## [an untrained eye](https://vincentgonzalez.com/an-untrained-eye/) _2026-08-12 · vincent · Vincent Gonzalez_ I have returned to the physical sketchbook with the goal to finish this nearly filled sketchbook.

It's let me focus on doing a thing, and recently the thing was finishing another zine. ## [Helloooo just echoing what others have said about reports from an unknown place!! I love it because it feels both familiar (like I’ve also seen that sky and be struck by the beauty of it in my everyday life) and also eye opening like it shows me something I wouldn’t have noticed by myself. And the light! The way you portray light is amazing. I always find it very comforting to see on my feed. Thank you for creating and sharing!](https://bluecapsicum.tumblr.com/post/810825491146735616) _2026-03-11 · Ninn Salaün_ Thank you so much, this really does mean a lot to me. I'm also learning everyday while working on this project. My weather talk has gotten so good. Also, it's nice when you've gotten used to really look at the small things in the sky, because you are never ever bored. ## [Your illustrations of clouds is so beautiful. I have a soft spot for clouds in art because I constantly photograph the sky and the main subject 90% of the time is, you guessed it, clouds. The depth and the way the catch light is different everytime and you capture those elements so very well.](https://bluecapsicum.tumblr.com/post/810821951993020416) _2026-03-11 · Ninn Salaün_ I love this! I think it's pretty difficult to take good pictures of the sky in general. I mean, I think it gets difficult when you're trying to capture something specific, because then the difference between what you see and what the camera sees becomes much more obvious. Although cameras are much better at looking straight at the sun, which is a definite advantage. Thank you for your kind words! ## [Reports From Unknown Places is so so so cool!

Your clever reports blog is my favorite blog ever, it makes me very happy and inspired. Are you okay with people making art to reblog with your posts? I would love to draw how I imagine the researchers and the things they see, but only if that is okay with you.

Back in 2020, I made one book per season, and then a complete collection of the first year, but then found it difficult to find the right companies to print/ship with reliably.

And then, I don’t think there’s a specific place, and I don’t think anyone is keeping track of that anywhere.
