sketchbook layout I liked a lot with my favorite air raid sirens

"WHEN THE SIRENS began screaming during a "red" alert in New York, these pedestrians at Seventh Ave. and Broadway blithely ignored an air raid shelter sign. Instead of seeking shelter, thousands rushed to sidewalks and roof tops to see the fun, if any." - from the Toronto Star. March 19, 1943. Page 2.

It’s siren day, I’m hoping it will be a good test. We have 5 minutes to siren.

What are sounds that chill you to the bone?

When the Siren's calling. An Ukrainian siren, another creature from the bestiary of war. A personification of the air raid sirens that bellow over Ukraine for two horrible months. My autistic brain fixated on a word 'siren' and went brrrrr

shoutout to me barely a few months before quarantine for having a weird obsession with sirens

like actual sirens that go WEE WOO WEE WOO like in emergency situations and stuff not the mythological creatures that lure people into the sea with their voices

idk why. but I loved them. I was obsessed with them. my favorite was the bucket looking one which is apparently not so commonly used anymore. it had this deep rattly voice.

The past: Federal Signal

Thunderbolt 1000A

Well it took a lot longer than I thought it would but I devoured all of the Hellboy comics and the B.P.R.D comics. I didn’t delve too deep into the Mignola-verse, but I know now how it all plays out and what becomes of my favs.

What do I do with my life now

The world war isn't as it used to be

Greek soldiers take part in the annual Parmenion large-scale military and civil defense exercise of the Hellenic National Defense General Staff, which began on Friday. As part of the exercise, air raid sirens will go off across Greece on Tuesday every 60 seconds, starting at 11 a.m.  and ending at 11.05 a.m. The military exercise, named after Parmenion – a general in the army of ancient Macedonian warrior king Alexander the Great and of his father Philip II – will be held throughout the country and will end on Friday.

Three Los Angeles icons. Meet Siren #34 giving mute testimony to Cold War insanity. Let’s not go there again.

Lol I love it so much when they test the air raid sirens every six months because IT'S NOT TERRIFYING AT ALL!
