Recommendations: The Boys and Art With Flo (Nurture & Support 185)

Special treat around the 18:30 mark 🙂

Kelly’s recommendation –  The Boys

This Amazon show is based on the graphic novels of the same name by Garth Ennis. While there are many tweaks, it does effectively bring forward the dark, funny, dark, strange world of the graphic novel.  If you have problems with profanity.. not your show. If you have problems with VERY dark situations… not your show.  The cast and writing are spectacular!

 

 

 

Mel’s recommendation –  Art With Flo

Just like Kelly, Mel remains on the lookout for a graphic art Sherpa.  Flo seems to be the ticket for her.  Flo provides easy to follow, concise guidance on using Procreate.  Flo doesn’t assume you have the highest end equipment, in fact Mel was able to keep up with her vintage iPad Air and generation 1 Apple Pencil.   As promised, here is Mel’s first project.   Nice job!!

Tale of the Nine-Tailed and Canva recommendations (Nurture & Support 184)

Some recommendations from two rising TikToc stars….

Mel’s recommendation –  Tale of the Nine-Tailed

Mel recommends viewing a Korean drama/urban fantasy called “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” (post crowded sourced translation).   It is steeped in humor, mythology, action, and a camera-friendly cast 🙂

She also snuck in TicTok, VIKI, and Goblin mini-recommendations.

 

 

Kelly’s recommendation –  Canva 

While Kelly continues to make progress on learning GIMP, he can still use some help.  Canva.com offers outstanding, flexible templates for a huge variety of items from YouTube banners, candle labels, greeting cards and MUCH more.  Even if you are using the free version you can save your work to tweak at a later date.

How to track your dog and confirm the earth is not flat – Nurture & Support 183

Two helpful and different recommendations this week…

Kelly’s recommendationSciManDan YouTube Channel

Dan is a funny and sharp guy that debunks flat-earthers each Friday and skewers tinfoil hat theories each Tuesday.  Good stuff!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mel’s recommendationFi dog collar/tracker

Mel has found a great solution to address her “born to be free” corgi.  Fantastic battery life, great collar options, and while not cheap – a VERY worthwhile investment.

Aicook electric tea kettle review and a great GIMP tutorial YouTube channel – Nurture & Support 182

This week Mel returns to Amazon and Kelly FINALLY learns GIMP (sorta)

Mel’s recommendation:  Aicook Electric Kettle

After years of irresponsible tea brewing, Mel picked up an electric kettle with presets for the best temperature to brew green tea, white tea, Oolong tea, black tea, and coffee.  She has really noticed the difference in flavor, and outside of missing the cool blue LED light on her old kettle, she has been very satisfied.

 

 

 

Kelly’s recommendation:  Logos by Nick YouTube channel

After years of irresponsible editing, Kelly is FINALLY moving on from his Paint Shop Pro (version 6) graphics tool to one released in this decade… GIMP.  Nick’s channel has both GIMP and Inkscape tutorials that are easy to follow and well constructed.  Nick also has a website with even more helpful content.  Here are a couple of logos he did using Nick’s tutorials…
