Oh, what a wonderful day to have aphantasia

There were so many other things you could have said that were not that

Well, it's a little bit later than initially expected, but it looks like we're finally getting Eda's Orphanage after all!

Worried about Boscha though. This is obviously hard for her, and given, well, *gestures broadly*, I fear she's just going to bottle it all up instead of properly getting help

On the other hand, wolves had to constantly waste energy fighting their food, and fighting off others that also wanted that food, and fighting off others that want to eat them.

Meanwhile, domestic dogs have big huge dens keeping them safe from predators, food is just handed to them on ~~silver~~ stainless steel platters, so much more time for play! They hit the jackpot! They're living in absolute luxury!

Oh this is just asking to be a meme template

Healing the generational trauma upwards, even!

I was ready to make a comment about "the problem with having your daughter be a grimwalker of yourself is that she's exclusively your daughter," but no! Junior's making a difference, she's going out on her own

Titan Ayzee, now with guns!

Considering Luz was the one who showed him the light glyph and helped stop the palismen in his mind, there's a good chance this is what would've happened if she never came to the BI

I'm not much of a cap guy, but that would change if this were a real product!

Camo Coven Head: "Augustus, I didn't see you at camouflage training today"

Gus: "Thank you!"

I blame the aphantasia, a lotta y'all's weirdness made a lot more sense once I learned you can just make up pictures in your head

oh hey the canvas also looks a bit different...

If this is your first Canvas post you've seen...

Canvas is a collaborative pixel canvas, much similar to r/place

Special thanks to @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected] and anyone else I might've missed for getting this done so quickly! (Second special shoutout to the wonderful ategon for bringing p.d over after they finished their logo!)

For context, last year's Canvas took about a day and a half and I only listed 5 other names on the 'thanks' post. Now 16 of us got it done well within the first 24 hours!

I must also note @[email protected] and @[email protected] for tarballing us lol

And congrats to our own [email protected], who also finished their logo just to the north east of us

 

3-hour long signing stream with Amanda Hufford (Ragatha), Sean Chiplock (Kinger), Alex Rochon (Caine), Hamish Plaggmars (Max), Vera Tan (Loolilalu), Michael Kovach (Jax), and Marissa Lenti (Gangle). Some Q&A and plenty 'o chaos along the way!

Canvas is over!

And just like that, Canvas 2024 has come to a close. Here's the final version of our logo as it appears on the final version of this year's version of the Canvas:

Thanks again to everyone who participated! I hope to see you all back here next year for Canvas 2025!

The logo is done!

The template is still available below for ongoing maintenance needs. Otherwise, get out there and contribute to other art (or find a place to start your own) elsewhere on the Canvas!


🔴 CANVAS IS LIVE!

Start placing pixels!

I put us in the bottom center, just over the upper left corner of programming.dev and south east of [email protected]


Original post

Hey everyone! In case you haven't heard yet, the next instance of Canvas is almost here, starting on Friday the 12th at 12:00 AM EDT (July 12, 04:00 UTC). Canvas is a collaborative art project on the Fediverse, akin to Reddit's r/place, where everyone gets a few pixels at a time to add to a shared canvas.

Last year, we added our instance logo to the canvas, and I think it would be great to do something like that again this year.

Here's a template-ready version based on last year's final result. It's 71x47 pixels:

A pixelated version of the Lemmy.zip logo, with ".zip" added in the lower right corner with an orange underline

(in the actual final version, the orange line under the ".zip" was extended into a full border all the way around, but ran into the bottom of the nose and lower left whisker, so i trimmed it off. if we want to add that back, it should be nudged one pixel lower)

Here's the template so you can see how it'll look on the Canvas.

UPDATE: Here's a version with the border, this bumps it up to 73x49px: The same image as above, with the underline under the ".zip" replaced with a 1-pixel wide orange border

You may notice the Canvas is only 500x500 this time (as opposed to 1000x1000 last year), and it's also been opened to the entire Fediverse (versus just Lemmy last time), so we may have to fight a little to keep our space.

The big question is where to put it? Should we arrange a space for ourselves now or just wing it and find a blank spot a few hours in?

If anyone has any other ideas for things we could add alongside/instead of the logo, feel free to shout them out! If you're in the Lemmy.zip Matrix space, you can also join the Canvas Talk room for discussion and coordination


If you want to join any other projects, I know our [email protected] has a plan, there's a dedicated group organization post on the host community [email protected], and of course there's nothing stopping from putting your own by yourself

 

Jax and Pomni just finished an Underwater Adventure in The Amazing Digital Circus, but Pomni's not feeling so great after the whole "Drowning" bit. Jax takes this as an opportunity to teach her how to be a bad person in a song inspired by "No Girl's Toy" from Raggedy Ann & Andy A Musical Adventure!

This Labor of Love took seven months to produce, in no small part due to getting THE OFFICIAL CAST OF THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS to perform! This IS still a fansong and is in no way canon, but their performances helped bring my raggedy little musical adventure to life. Thanks so much to all the amazing actors & to GLITCH for allowing this!

Those who've been keeping with the Newsletter might remember him then-recently finishing recording the next block of Lateral and not wearing a red t-shirt anymore.

Well, apparently Lateral 91 was the first in that block, because here it is: Tom's first time in front of a camera in 6 months!

There's nothing new in terms of lore or details or anything, but they're still a good watch imo
