Thanks for making this thread! I put an extra rule on myself to come up with a submittable-something for the prompt within two hours. It was rad to not overthink things and to be silly without trying to make it perfect. I like pizza and think it would be goofy if there were trucks that cooked and delivered pizzas. Thanks for spending time looking at my drawing.
@ē©“ This is so cool! I love the color palette choices! Also, I am now hungry for ramen.
ā¦ for what itās worth, I think my IC writing voice is reasonably similar to my in-person voice so I guess you all know that I talk too much in person too.
@biff_stallion This is very cute. I think that the text adds a ton of flavor* to the piece and makes it have much more personality.
*pun both intended and not intended.
imagining MGS expository cutscene v/o over grainy fmv footage and weapons schematics but it's about the pizza cannon
@yeso in David Hayterās Snake voice āā¦ pizza cannon?ā
I was going to make a joke about zelensky asking nato to supply his forces with the pizza cannon but I decided against it (this post doesn;t count)
@mods i once threw a pitch into the dirtbag for a lighting round in where the panelists would have had to play the price is right with the cameo prices of various video game related people and David Hayter was in there lol
I get why jaffe didnāt use it though, itās not a very good idea and it could have gotten a little weird because itās basically playing a game with peopleās self worth in american dollars
@antillese Thank you! I love Geoff Darrowās work. He always sneaks silly words/puns into his drawings.
@yeso And you have to order a pizza online, eat it and rate it to defeat the boss!
@mods That would be hilarious. What would the script be?
Nothing from me this month unfortunately. Got half way through recording what basically amounted to porno music but having covid and missing work for two weeks has put me rather behind.
Who knows, if next month's theme is 'inappropriately erotic' my dream may yet be realised.
OOOPS!!
Itās may already and I forgot to start this monthās art jam thread!
I really liked the results of Aprilās art jam, thanks for participating!
Iāll revive this thread to post when I eventually make @rejj's Goulash! Some of the ingredients are very hard to find in my usual area, but I know where to get them now! So itās just a matter of time. Iām sorry Rejj, I really want to make your goulash recipe!
We didnāt have as much participation compared to lastās month but Iām still very happy with what was posted.
I equally appreciate everyone that took the time to make something and the people that were here to be supportive!
I really dig the illustrations made by @DenRaigo go and @biff_stallion, itās nice to see newer folks participating in here!
as always you can submit prompts in the form below:

Thanks yāall<3
Iāll create this monthās art jam thread asap!!!

@ē©“ If you let me know which ingredients in particular you are finding hard to source, I can try and help work out some viable substitutions. @whatsarobot mentioned needing to swap a few things, and everything still worked well by the sound (and look!) of it.
@antillese sorry i have not commented on this yet!! awesome tune again. IIRC last month you mentioned that your background is as a trumpet playerā¦feel like i can hear that coming through in the way your melodies have an improvisational feel. bridge flowed really naturally to me so i think it must have been a case of working on something forever and losing perspective.
also really enjoy the writeups, keep em comin
@tapevulture Thanks so much! Iām very glad you are enjoying my write-ups. Itās been a good way to share progress and thoughts beyond just the completed work.
Yes, I played trumpet. I played a ton of music through school and did do jazz bands though I never felt like I got āgoodā at it. My formal training is primarily classical - my private teachers were symphonic trumpet players and I mostly played in youth symphonies, though I had more fun in pep bands and playing in the schoolās musicals.
Itās fascinating that you hear an improvisational sound in my pieces. I thatās absolutely how I tend to compose them, though I wouldnāt have described it that way.
I have some opinions about how music is taught to kids that Iām trying to intentionally avoid with my kids. Many years ago, there was this book called āTiger Momā that was making the rounds in social media and one thing about it in the discussion was how this personās kids were expected to play music (so they can get into college and move upwards socially), and thus you either played Piano or Violin. Absolutely not guitar.
I remember reading some thoughts about this from a musician and how this was all wrapped up in the cultural baggage of how classical music is āhardā and ānon-popularā and thus āculturally valuableā. Unlike rock or jazz or rap or reggae or any music that a kid might actually seek out and enjoy.
Now that Iām teaching my kids piano, Iām trying to make sure they get to pick what they play.
I donāt listen to classical music as a genre, though I appreciate what I learned from it and do like specific works. I think that our exposure to classical music is mostly through the framework of learning to play it in orchestra, and we learn to play those pieces instead of modern orchestral scores (music and games shoot to the top of my mind) because classical music is out of copyright. So again, itās a stupid rights issue for art instead of a discussion of art on its merits.
@rejj Itās mostly the paprikas and the self rising flour, in my local supermarketās I can only find the smoked paprika. but I have already identified where to get the paprikas, the self rasing flour and the majoram! And I also found out that making my own self-raising flour isnāt hard at all.
I made @rejj's goulash a couple weeks ago, but because I sort of messed up the goulash part (my stove sucks) and completely messed up the knƶdel part I was too embarrassed to post about it. However I must say it was absolutely in the spirit of this thread as it was DELICIOUS!!! I made like 5 dinners out of it.
@antillese I too am loving the music writeupsā¦ please keep writing them up!!!
