HERE YOU GO http://adrians.tumblr.com/post/9941575302/this-is-just-a-short-video-of-me-trying-to-escape
YES THANK YOU OMG
Hey so what if I made some tutorials about
certain things illustrators/animators run into that can be easily taught or understood through the physics of what’s going on?
Examples:
*Distortion of light through water/glass (I already have a bunch of notes on this one)
*The sky/atmospheric perspective
*Collisions/trajectories for animators
Basically if you’re gonna spend a lot of time understanding what’s going on under the skin of a human body I feel like you should learn also what’s going on with all these phenomena so you can render them more generally.
It’d all be pretty non-technical, lots of examples, no math if I can help it lol.
So should I do it?? Also any other suggestions would be cool.

The Question
(Submitted September 21, 2005)
Within one of your answers is a statement that I’ve heard before, but… never really fully understood. You wrote ‘we are all star-stuff.’ Do you mean, that people are made out of the same things (elements) that stars are made of? Are people made out of star-dust?
The Answer
The statement that we are all “star stuff,” coined by the late astronomer Carl Sagan (not sure if this was before or after Joni Mitchell sang “we are stardust; we are golden. we are billion year old carbon”), is meant to imply more than that we are made of the same elements that stars are made of. Beyond that, the elements themselves (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) were synthesized, cooked up as it were, in the nuclear furnaces that are the deep interior of stars. These elements are then released at the end of a star’s lifetime when it explodes, and subsequently incorporated into a new generation of stars — and into the planets that form around the stars, and the lifeforms that originate on the planets.
— Michael Loewenstein and Amy Fredericks for “Ask an Astrophysicist”
If this doesn’t make you feel one with the universe, I’m afraid nothing will. There is nothing more beautiful than knowing you are part of everything. That includes all known 45 billion light years of universe (and counting), and all life and non-life on this, and every other planet within the known universe. (via artofdamiem)
Hey everyone can I just tell you over and over and over how awesome it is to be made from stars and that this is why I love astronomy? Also I’ll leave this here:

sigh i'll never be successful in art or science
i’m just gonna be stuck in the middle because i refuse to give either up for the other
