A Change Of Perspective

A Change of Perspective

I was not expecting so much attention on my latest Flatland artwork, as I´m writting my biggest post so far it´s about to hit 400 notes.

Thank you to everyone for sharing my artwork, following me and thanks to everybody leaving comments on them, I truly appreciate what you have to say about my work!

So, I wanted to write a little about my personal relationship with this novel. Although small, it did help me create a point of reference for my growth over these years.

I knew about this novel since 2016, after the 2016 Bill Q&A mentions Edwin A. Abott. Of course my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to figure out this world. I ended up falling on a 4th dimension theory and Mathematics rabbit hole.

Since a lot of conversations surrounding the book where around theories on the 4th dimension, rather than giving political comentary on the book. As it´s rediscovery was made in the year 1920´s, one could imagine why that was the case. For the most part, due to Einstein´s main interest being how Edwin A. was able to somehow predict the 4th dimension´s existence.

Thanks to this, I didn´t take Flatland´s themes into consideration, and just read a few chapters out of order.

July 2024, The Book of Bill releases. Once again, there´s a reference to the novel in one of the pages. And for old times sake I decided to revisit Flatland. Curiously it´s when I got recommended the 2007 Flatland movie to no end, I eventually, after a long weekend of College work, decided to watch it as I animated.

After that, I decided this time I would finally give myself the time to finish the novel. With an older and more open mind I was able to finish the book and understand it´s themes; critiquing bigotry and seeing the world through a whole new perspective. Makes me wish little me finished the book instead of taking its message for granted, could’ve helped get over some mayor denial I had back then.

I believe things happen a certain way for a reason, maybe it was for the better that I didn’t finish that book back then, at least it gave me the opportunity to better appreciate it :^]c

I hope this community keeps on growing. And I hope to see more people create more content for this interesting world!

MF Day #55: Kuffs

2016 was the year when the Mixels craze started to die down a little, at least in the Cartoon Network/LEGO department. And that’s probably because there were other cartoons/toys made at the time that overshadowed the Mixels series. The specials made in that year were also pretty lackluster compared to what we’ve had before. They weren’t anything bad, but they didn’t exactly serve as the most epic conclusions to the show, as a lot more could’ve been done with it. But regardless of all that, the team still pushed through to experiment around and create some freshly new and fun additions to the Mixels lineup. And it had a pretty solid start with wave 7, which I personally think is the best of 2016, because it has the one that had most fun ideas and designs. Continuing from where the Weldos constructed, the MCPD was one of the first tribes to be found during the Mixopolis era. And Kuffs is a pretty cool looking police mixel, being yet another one of the big armed designs. But instead of being a rehash of someone like Krader or Kamzo, this one was done with purpose. Not only to indicate his role as the chief, but also to represent the right arm of the law.
