My Nomad V part 2
Portrait of my Nomad V from Cyberpunk! :DD
The reunion that we need :’3
@thorki-and-other-obsessions
sorry for waitin’ my friend <3 i hope you like it
RV travel is an addition. Seeing the country in the comfort of your own home on wheels, while meeting interesting people along the way. From overnight stops at casinos and boondockers welcome spots, to state parks, faires, and conventions, it’s more fun than I have words for.
Do you RV?
Reach out and tell us about your experiences.
Travel and enjoy your body, you don’t have time to wait
Life is just better this way 🥰 don’t you agree?
Misty Frost my charter for cyberpunk ttrpg. shes a nomad and a bittts of a speed demon hehehehje
NEW CREATURE A ✨GARDRAGON✨ (GARGOYLE AND DRAGON!!!)
how gardagons work :)
they Communicate in grumbles and grunts most gardragons are Nocturnal and prefer high places like treetops or cliffs ,because of their nocturnal instincts they often sleep during the day BUT they can be seen out in daylight(it’s just super uncommon)
(they all have different personalities unique to the individual gar)
they have a unique saliva that acts as a natural bug repellent! they are herbivores. (the sharp teeth are for breaking rock and to dis-interest predators otherwise they have no use!) but the baby’s drink the mothers milk till the age of 12
(THEY ARE MAMMALS NOT REPTILIAN!)
YET they are made of spikes and scales often get mistaken for stone, because of how grey they are.. The ‘eyes’ are not actually eyes but rather a pattern on the head meant to look like so-..in reality they are blind and rely on scent and other senses to navigate.
The bulb on the end of their tail is a stinger! Nothing venomous just paralysis inducing,And also a light high similar to that of a weed high..(but that’s not super common!)
The females have utters like a cows utter which is how they feed their young (CAREFUL! Gradragon milk is extremely toxic to humans when not properly prepared!) You can’t just squeeze it out and drink it. You have to prepare it.. (you freeze the milk in DRY ice the properties in dry ice get rid of anything toxic from the milk..but even if prepared properly it’s SUPER bitter and not the most pleasant texture.)
The males are as shown in the pictures! The only difference is females have utters. Otherwise they are impossible to tell apart.
That’s all :3 hope you liked it if you read this far! ✨🥰✨
does anyone here have much info on irish travellers, especially cant? i’m still developing a character, i’m thinking of her being a traveller, and want to know if i’d be offensive w anything 😭
uh so a few questions if anyone wants to answer
1. what are some neutral/positive terms in use to travellers? i know lucht siúil in irish, and mincéirí may be in cant..? i know basically nothing, i only found out one of the terms i thought was neutral was actually a slur from a romani tiktoker 😭
2. where is cant developed from? what would be the correct name for it? any info on the language is welcome lol
3. things to avoid in the character/character design (i wont be basing much around her ethnicity anyway, if anything).
4. where do you consider your roots to be from? ireland, england, norse, even if theres a region that would help a lot
5. do much travellers still travel? like are they still nomads?
literally ANY info would be welcome, i know nothing and cant find much 😭
journal entry from the road, 1AM 13.08.2023, Istria, Croatia.
Inspired by Keren Cytter’s „White Diaries” I’m launching an irregular series of journal entries from the road (I am on the road pretty much the whole time, since last June). May these entries contribute to my monography or at least to my graduation movie.
I’m in amok. For the most of the day I’ve been in amok. I’ve been calling my friends frantically, talking with them about my next, September journey. Planning things isn’t as exciting as it used to be. Today I’ve committed a faux pas. I gave in to my inner greedy goblin. My friend Joffroy told me that he’s got a spot for a vintage near Lyon. I, blinded by vision of being 1800 euros richer enthusiastically signed up, even tho I’ve dropped out of it almost a month ago. Five minutes before that I’ve been bitching to my parents that I feel like I’m being fucked over by my friends, cause I try to make everyone feel good and combine their busy calendars with my urge to go to Latvia to see art and drop acid and whatever else do nomadic art students do when they don’t attend universities. As soon as I announced my decision to leave for a vintage in France, to my Latvian crew they got angry, rightfully. I lacked empathy for my koibito, since we wouldn’t see each other for over 4 months and I didn’t even tell them in a separate call or message bout that. They told me they felt very sad. They were right, it was too sudden, but I was in amok, just today W420’s aunt told us she wouldn’t be hosting us in Berlin, which derailed our summer plans for 7th or 8th time. I took the occasion as it happened, but than I reflected on it realized I could’ve done it more smoothly. I apologized, we sent each others some music we found, it’s better now. Mediatized communication sucks ass. Tomorrow I’m gonna text my koibito I got kicked out anyway since I can’t work for the whole duration of the vintage (that’s 100% true). We’re gonna go to Riga. My parents told Riga is cheap and cool. I don’t have a joint like Cytter does in her diaries, but maybe for the better? It would hurt my lungs and I would get stoned too much, I have weak tolerance. I’m currently living in something that resembles a very luxurious refugee camp, with almost no POC, only rich, white german kids. Imagine 2000 people in tents and vans, crowded, laying almost on another with pitches among those little 5 meter pines. All the way from the mountain to the sea. My dog is getting mad over people walking near the tent. Swimming has cleared my mind. Deep blue of sea depths does its job. I need to sit down and write down some of my research notes for my new movie. I’m gonna build a dirty video mixer. Hopefully with my koibito, we’re gonna play something together. Soon I’m gonna write an analysis about “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia Butler and “Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson with their implications for further research and my upcoming movie. The landscape is very cowboy here. It’s dry, cut in half with a big road. It’s very sharp and high resolution, like a photo taken on a quality color film. With colors so bright it deceives you at first, that it wasn’t taken on a Texaco station in 1985. This is a landscape Rango wanted to die in.
Friendship ended with the Bakkers 😤 now the Aldecaldo's are my chooms 😍

Misfit
I am tired of being a misfit
Fitting in everywhere
But wandering from group to group
From the orchestra cult
To the theater people and the bookworms
To other misfits
Once one group or relationship ends
I move on to the next
Always crashing into new souls
I’m tired of it being this way
I am a nomad
But I’d like for some people to stick with me
I can never find a tribe
That I can call my life
Because part of my heart often belongs in multiple places at once
I sometimes get bored of people,
Outgrow them
No one seems to care enough to hold on as hard as I try
So I simply let them go and I carry on soul surfing
I should trying crashing hard into another one
Then maybe we’d get stuck like shards of glass you can’t live without
Presstival 2015
Idén újra 10 szép napot töltöttünk az angliai Whittingtonban Rebekával, Balázzsal, Barbival és Pufival. Rebekával már régóta terveztük, hogy egyszer visszalátogatunk a Presstivalra, amit minden év szeptember első szombatján rendez a Whittington Press. A fesztivál egy kicsi, de annál nemzetközibb esemény. Idén érkeztek árusok Írországból, Csehországból, Franciaországból és Lengyelországból is, valamint nem csak nyomatokat lehetett vásárolni, hanem tapétákat, fém és fabetűket, hasznos és szép könyveket, festményeket, Miriam Macgregor gyönyörű pochoir-it, márványozott papírt, jegyzetfüzeteket és finom yorkshire-i mézet.
Lehetőségünk volt rá, hogy egy asztalnál a saját munkáinkat is áruljuk, így a többiekkel együtt miénk volt a magyar asztal. Sokféle nyomatot vittünk magunkkal az eseményre: ☛ Rebeka a papírkivágásaiból készült giclée nyomatokat és arannyal felülnyomott giclée nyomatokat vitt magával. Utóbbiak csodaszép starking almák, olyanok mint amik Fantastic Mr Fox végén vannak a szupermarketben. Ha kíváncsiak vagytok, az Etsyjén megtaláljátok mindet. ☛ Barbi az euró diplomájához készült nyomatokat, meseillusztrációkat és néhány Mester és Margarita rézkarcot tett ki, amiket pedig az ő Etsyjén láthattok. ☛ Pufi az AMI űrállomásról készült szitanyomott posztert és híres angol épületeket ábrázoló magasnyomott képeslapokat árult (és neki is van Etsyje). ☛ Én a feketerigós képeslapomat és néhány a Rumcsempészhez készült csontvázas nyomatot tettem ki.
A Presstival utáni napokban eljutottunk az Oxford Guild of Printers találkozójára, ahol Jamie Murphy tartott előadást a nyomdájáról és könyveiről. Jamie egy fiatal nyomdász, aki főleg illusztrált könyvek kiadásával foglalkozik a dublini Salvage Pressben, és nem mellesleg egyetemi szakdolgozatát Orosz Istvánról és a DOPP munkásságáról írta. Nagyon szép munkái vannak és a Salvage Press weboldalán mindegyiket meg is tudjátok nézni.
Szabadidőnkben amikor nem a bárányokkal kávéztunk akkor nyomtattunk. Én Nostalgic Train címmel egy képeslapot készítettem, de valószínűleg ez a kifejezés csak német nyelvterületen létezik, mindenesetre nagyon sokat nevettük rajta, ezért került bele. A nyomat egy FAG Proof Pressen, Neuland (Rudolf Koch 1923) és Gill bold (Eric Gill 1928) betűtípusok és Stephenson Blake vonatok felhasználásával, 130 grammos Matrix Fine Laid papírra készült.
Pufi készített egy videót és fotókat is az útról. Köszönet John és Patrick Randlenek, hogy vendégül láttak minket a nyomdájukban! És köszönet Robert Pratleynek a fuvarért Charlburybe!
Presstival 2015
Last month we spent 10 beautiful days in the Whittington Press in England with Rebeka, Balázs, Barbi and Richard. Rebeka and I had the idea to visit the Presstival again, since we were there in 2013. The event is on the first Saturday of September in every year, and it is a small but international festival to letterpress printers from all around the world (some people calls it the Glastonbury of printers). This year sellers came from Czech, France and Poland, and not only prints were on offer, you could buy metal and wooden type, useful and beautiful books, paintings, amazing pochoirs from Miriam Macgregor, marbled papers, sketchbooks and delicious honey from Yorkshire.
This year we had a chance to have a stall so we had the Hungarian Table and we brought a wide variety of stuff: ☛ Rebeka had giclée prints from her papercuts and letterpressed giclée prints about Starking apples (you could have seen this kind of apple in Fantastic Mr Fox, at the supermarket scene). You can see Rebeka’s prints on her Etsy. ☛ Barbi brought etchings what she made for her degree project, and some illustrations for Master and Margarita, you can find her Etsy account as well. ☛ Richard made a silkscreen poster about the AMI space station and printed postcards about famous English buildings, here you can see his prints on his Etsy. ☛ I took the Turdus Merula postcard, woodcuts about skeletons from the Rumsmuggler board game and prints about Gutenberg’s home with me.
After the Presstival we attended a talk of the Oxford Guild of Printers, where Jamie Murphy had a presentation about his press and books. Jamie is a Dublin based young printer who mainly publish illustrated books in the Salvage Press (you can see all of his books with detailed texts on his website), and by the way he wrote his thesis about the works of Hungarian poster artist, my former teacher at the university, István Orosz and the DOPP group.
In our free time, after we finished our coffees with the sheep, we made prints! My project was the Nostalgic Train, probably this expression only exists in German-language area, but we laughed a lot about it, so I wanted to include it. This postcard was printed on a FAG Proof Press, with Neuland (Rudolf Koch 1923) and Gill bold (Eric Gill 1928) typefaces and with a Stephenson Blake train set, onto 130gr Matrix Fine Laid paper.
Pufi made a video and some photos about the trip. Thank you for John and Patrick Randle for hosting us in their press! And thanks to Robert Pratley for the lift to Charlbury!
Idén négy hetet töltöttünk Rebekával különböző angliai nyomdákban, ezúton is köszönjük a Campus Hungarynek a lehetőséget. Ajánlom mindenkinek, hogy pályázzon aki egyetemre jár. Most következzen az első két hetünk.
Tizenhárman indultunk el a soproni AMIból, hogy két hetet töltsünk el Patrick Randle-el nyomdájában, a Nomad Letterpressben, Whittingtonban. Patrick egy fedél alatt dolgozik édesapjával, John-nal aki a Whittington Press-t vezeti. A műhelyük egy délnyugat-angliai kis faluban, egy 16. századi uradalmi ház udvarán kapott helyet a régi kertészlakban. A vidék ahol a nyomda működik zöldell és mindenfelé birkanyájak legelnek rajta. Nincs is annál jobb közéjük telepedve meginni a reggeli kávét.
A projekt amin ottlétünk alatt dolgoztunk egy bemutatkozó kis könyv volt, aminek a SZIA címet adtuk. Az ötlet, hogy együtt dolgozzunk valamin már az elejétől fogva nagyon tetszett nekünk. Mivel szerettük volna összefogni valamivel a különböző oldalakat, eldöntöttük, hogy mindegyik kezdődjön úgy: Szia én vagyok, vagy Szia a nevem, így nagyjából meghatároztuk azt is mi fog megjelenni egy-egy oldalon, de mégis teljesen szabadon használhatta ki mindenki a rendelkezésre álló felületet és tölthette meg saját mondanivalóval. Az első napokban azt gondoltuk, hogy jó lesz ha oldalpárt tervezünk, de később amellett döntöttünk, hogy elég lesz egy oldal fejenként, a nyomtatási folyamat így is négy teljes napunkba telt két FAG Proof Press együttes használatával. A tervezéssel nagyon jól haladtunk, az első hét végére már egymás mellé tudtuk tenni a próbanyomatokat és kialakítani a megfelelő sorrendet, amiben minden oldal érvényesülni tudott. Az oldalakhoz majdnem mindenki készített illusztrációkat, linómetszettel, kalligráfiával vagy éppen a fém illetve fa betűk felhasználásával. A kiadványból 20 hibátlan példányt szerettünk volna nyomtatni, de végül 23 sikerült, aminek nagyon örültünk!
Mindenki nagyon kedves ott, ha csak arra jártok, mondjátok meg nekik, hogy üdvözlöm őket, és nézzetek körül mindenképpen a nyomdában és a kastély körül is.
This year we spent four weeks in two letterpress studios in England with Rebeka. This is about the first two weeks.
Thirteen Hungarian students (including us) set off from the University of West Hungary to spend two weeks with Patrick Randle, in the Nomad Letterpress in Whittington, where Pat's father John Randle, works as well and runs the Whittington Press. Their workshop is in a very small village, in the yard of an old and beautiful 16th century manor house. The countryside was fresh and filled with herds of sheep, sometimes we just sat next to the lambs when we drunk our coffee at morning.
Our project was to make a little introduction booklet. We gave it the title SZIA /ˈsijɑ/ which means HI in Hungarian. Working on a book together was an idea we truly liked, we wanted to do something we could collaborate on. We decided that every page should start with ‘Hi I am’ or ‘Hello my name is’. This defined the boundaries of the book, but also gave a theme for the designs, where all of us could have make something really personal. Firstly we started design in one facing page per person, later we decided it should only be a single page, because of the length of the printing process, which still took us four days to finish with two FAG proof presses. At the end of the first week, we were able to put together our proofs, and make the best order, in which every page can acquire attention. For illustrations we have used type, calligraphy and linocuts what we have made at Whittington. We prepared to print at least 20 flawless copies, at the end we sewed 23 issues from SZIA.
I would like to thank again to John & Patrick Randle, to Mrs Nomad, to Miriam Macgregor and to Jenny Stringer and her family, we had a great time there!
