The “Sonnet155″ by Lobke Beckfeld and Johanna Hehemeyer-Cürten,

The “Sonnett155″ is made from two different post-industrial waste materials – fruit skins left over from juice production and short cellulose fibres sourced from a local textile factory.

Although it resembles a purse or tote with swooping top handles, the product has a lifespan closer to a disposable paper bag and is designed to degrade naturally with wear before it can ultimately be composted or recycled.

Fantastika Journal, Volume 4, Issue 1, edited by Kerry Dodd, July 2020. Cover art by Sinjin Li, info and free download: fantastikajournal.com.

“Fantastika” – a term appropriated from a range of Slavonic languages by John Clute — embraces the genres of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror, but can also include Alternate History, Gothic, Steampunk, Young Adult Dystopic Fiction, or any other radically imaginative narrative space. The goal of Fantastika Journal and its annual conference is to bring together academics and independent researchers who share an interest in this diverse range of fields with the aim of opening up new dialogues, productive controversies and collaborations. We invite articles examining all mediums and disciplines which concern the Fantastika genres. This special issue is based off the fifth Fantastika conference — After Fantastika — which investigated how definitions of time are negotiated within Fantastika literature, exploring not only the conception of its potential rigidity but also how its prospective malleability offers an avenue through which orthodox systems of thought may be reconfigured. By interrogating the principal attributes of this concept alongside its centrality to human thought, this issue considers how Fantastika may offer an alternate lens through which to examine the past, present, and future of time itself.

Me espera una larga tarde, calentita y lectora. me acompañáis? (ilustración de Lobke van Aar)

Plastic waste, the biggest threat to the environment, is a major obstacle that sabotages efforts of environmentalists in achieving a sustainable future. Plastic carry bags account for a major portion of this waste which nearly every household gets hold of on every shopping spree. These bags mostly end up in garbage bins of which a large portion is later segregated as landfill waste.

To minimize the use of plastic bags for shopping, design students of Berlin based Weißensee Academy of Art, have introduced a biodegradable bag made from discarded fruit peels and cellulose fibers sourced from waste fabric materials. Sonnet 155 can last for as much as a normal paper bag does, yet it provides a more secure hold to the items you wish to carry in it.

Designers Lobke and Johanna, came up with this idea of turning fruit waste into daily use bags after seeing the amount of fruit peels that are thrown away by juice manufacturers. They fused minimalistic design elements while deciding about the shape and size of fruit leather bags.

Do you ever have something you’ve been waiting for coming up literally when you wake up tomorrow and you highkey just want the day to end, not because you’re particularly depressed and want to start fresh, just because you’re excited

Like can I have an IRL time skip please, i dont know what to do for the next 4 hours

This was just supposed to be an inside joke between me and a friend…

I still don't know how to draw shadows,but they are dancin'! This makes me really happy and I'm quitte proud of this one.

So, i drew a angel/cupid sherwin inspired on a drawing @brocsox did, i just really wanted to draw this??and it has been a long time drawing wings.

Grr I accidentally messed up the paper,anyway. Valoo Made me realize I forgot how to draw dragons.

" I can still hear you sayin' , we would never break the chain"

Made this to deal with a recent break up I had. The Colors represent things like loyalty and passion but also distance and helplessness. The broken chain kinda speaks for itself, a broken up relationship. One hand holds it more loosely than the other, We're both for different reasons. This took me a while to finish cause of everything that happened, but I still love this piece, even though it s bittersweet.

Ahaha no i didnt draw myself as a monster because of 2 songs what do you mean.

"compromise" and "me and Michael" side by side! Apparently its already one and a half years ago when I made "me and Michael". Time sure flies by!
