“It is possible, however, that the artist is both thin-skinned and prophetic and, like the canary lowered into the mine shaft to test the air, has caught a whiff of something lethal.” ― Walker Percy ― Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book
EROS THANATOS II - detail
in situ example, shown on the website of the Artcontraire Gallery in Lienz, Austria
When I first posted this artwork December 29th 2018, it was on the Busy.org with API to Steemit. Just another one that went belly-up, and while the text is still on Steemit, none of the image(s) are, since they were uploaded to Busy.org. I am glad now that I am on PeakD/Hive to be able to share this drawing, which is by far the largest piece I had ever done.

September 3rd 2021 I posted about this piece being selected for the First Biennale of Fantastic Art in Belgrade.
Initially, it was created at the Pigmalion Artist Colony in Serbia in 2017.
Then, it was first shown also in Serbia: Exhibition and Book Presentation in BELGRADE, February 2018.
ZOOM HUB
However, this post is about a newly discovered Zoom application. The background story is that years ago I had used a Microsoft application called Zoom.it which worked very good. Then all of a sudden Microsoft, like with a few other apps, just pulled the plug on it. The expert programmers that had worked on it were not happy about this and said they will resurrect it on their own. But this project laid dormant for the longest time. Then just a few days ago I checked up on it again, and voila, they seemed to have done so. So I tested it out with a half-size file from the original scan done by Digital Laut in Vienna (I thought the original scan was way too large to upload for a test). Unfortunately, embedding is not supported on here. I did embed it on my website though, so here is a screen clip from my website, linking to the result on ZoomHub:
This was just a test - I plan on using this application again. The embed feature works very well on my website. Check it out yourself:
I hope this site stays up, since it is free and quite uncomplicated to use. I will have to experiment and find out if I can tweak the embed code to a larger format to fit my website page better. But for now, I am happy with the results.
I hope posts like this are of some use to my artist and photographer friends on here. I had mentioned Zoom images in my previous post a couple of days ago: SHEPHERD OF THE SPHINX. On there, I showed another site I had been using for zoom images.
