J’ai enchanté l’enchanteur décevant et déloyal que protégeaient les serpents, les hydres, les crapauds, parce que je suis jeune et belle, parce que j’ai été décevante et déloyale, parce que je sais charmer les serpents, parce que les hydres et les crapauds m’aiment aussi.
Je décidai que ces personnages grotesques ne pouvaient être que les dieux imaginaires de quelques pêcheurs ou de marins, engloutie avant même que naquît le tout premier ancêtre du Piltdown ou de l’homme de Néandertal.
So this is artwork no. 402 (I obviously haven't gotten over my 400 artwork jubilee!)
One day my art will be the go to art for small, idealistic publishers who specialize in retro-realpaper-paperback-pulp-scifi. "Shit we haven't got enough money for the artwork on the cover, we'll have to take one of the kitchy Katharsisdrill cityscapes."
The title is inspired by one of the many fantastic features which makes Scandinavians suffer from a grim exceptionalism that makes other people seem modest and down to earth in comparison. No! It is not Norwegian prisons, It is not the Finnish School system, It is not fashionable Swedish wooden shoes on tall, sexy blonds... It is: The Danish district heating model.
As my old Disapora pod which hosted this free culture project got closed I am posting my art here. You can see it using the #katharsisdrill tag.
Right now I create at leat one digital painting a day. Before February is over I will have more than 400 artworks on my website (https://katharsisdrill.art/art/). Sometimes I wonder what the fuck I am doing, and how I can benefit myself (beyond the sheer joy of sharing :) I don't know to be honest, and right now I just work like a madman to trip out and get away.
Yesterevening I made this one which is the last part of a small series of science fiction paintings that could easily be found on sci-fi paperbacks from the eighties and ahead. It is called: “The Spire of FET”. I sure got to use the line tool in Krita.
Use the tag #katharsisdrill to see the other artworks I have posted on this profile recently.
The Techtonics. They should be passing the plate around. Plate... geddit? They're actually engineers when they're not an a cappella group. So, "tech", "tonics". Geddit?
Hey! I just realized I haven't shared the last two music videos of my band with the #Fediverse. Here they are:
First, a live-version of our song Milqui:
This song was written for a member of our band, who for now shall remain nameless. It tells the story of how, regardless of the favor you ask, he will always ask you for "milqui" in return. Milqui is short for "mil quinientos" (1.500), and it refers to how he's always charging money for everything he does. In his defense, he always does a pretty good job 😛
The second video is a video-clip of a song that we released with Wax Works Records. We have a "normal" (i.e. psychedelic cumbia with vocals) version of the song (Chancleta y Pow!), and killer instrumental dub remix from the gates of hell (Chancleta y Pow! - dubeame esta cumbia), which is the version that this... show more

We are very proud of the latest release, which by the way you can get in vinyl. There are only 100 copies made, and they are numbered by hand. So if you like it, hurry up and get your copy HERE
In their early years, Lola’s Dice experimented with punk and funk. Later, touched by the influx of Tropical Noise the band vandalized all sort of sounds impregnating their rhythm section with the magical sabrosura.
I think of myself as a hobbyist #photographer interested in many things, including #astronomy and sometimes I get lucky. Tonight, for example, I noticed #Jupiter was close to the #Moon and so I got my #tripod out and tried to #photograph the pair. Currently, both are in #Capricorn and to get both, one needs a longish exposure. Here I used 2 s. This of course means that the Moon's features can't be seen as the lit surface is #overexposed but you can see its unlit side too.
The very nice thing about this image is that you can actually see Jupiter's four largest satellites too, so you could say that the photograph actually shows five #moons in total. Jupiter is forming a triangle here with #DenebAlgedi (bottom left) and #Nashira (bottom right)
By focusing around Jupiter itself, you can see its moons much better. From left to right, you can see #Europa, #Io, #Ganymede and #Callisto. The three #stars forming a diagonal line are, respectively, 45, 44 and 42 #Capricorni (left to right).
