Bonjour Qlub,

C'est le tour à Good boy ajd. On appelle ça du spoon art. Il est composé presque entièrement de cuillères. Il a charmé un couple la semaine dernière alors qu'il se pavanait au resto L'Empreinte.
En effet, la @boutiqueartsvisuels offre la possibilité aux artistes de sa boutique d'exposer à L'Empreinte.
Vous pourrez bientôt voir d'autres créations de moi autant à la Boutique qu'au resto.

Bon samedi !

CW: Petrified Yokai Dog - #AiArt #AIStory

In the depths of a forest in Japan, there lived a beautiful yokai dog with a unique coat of fur. It was a mixture of brown and black, with each hair strand containing unique elements that made it almost indestructible. The black fur was rough and sturdy, while the brown one was soft and flexible.

One day, a group of humans stumbled upon her hiding place. They were frightened by her beauty and power, and they attacked her with swords and arrows. The yokai dog tried to defend herself, but she was outnumbered, and she was struck by a powerful spell that turned her into stone.

For years, the petrified yokai dog remained hidden in the forest, forgotten and alone. But one day, a young girl stumbled upon her while exploring the woods. The girl was fascinated by the beautiful statue, and she sat by her side for hours, talking to her as if she were alive.

As the years went by, the girl continued to visit the statue, bringing her offerings of food and flowers. She told the yokai dog all about her life, and the yokai dog listened, her eyes glowing with a strange light.

One day, as the girl was sitting with the statue, she heard a soft growl. She looked up to see the yokai dog standing before her, alive and well. The petrification spell had finally been broken.

The girl was overjoyed, and she and the yokai dog became the best of friends. They explored the forest together, and the girl learned all about the world of the yokai.

And so, the petrified yokai dog had been given a second chance at life, thanks to the kindness of a young girl. Together, they lived happily ever after, exploring the mysteries of the forest and the secrets of the yokai world.

"The Goldfinch," Carel Fabritius, 1654.

Fabritius (1622-54) was a Dutch Golden Age artist, a member of the Delft school and a pupil of Rembrandt who worked hard to create his own style. At a time when the main style was spotlighted subjects against dark backgrounds, he did delicately lit subjects against light backgrounds.

This is a bit unusual for the period in that it uses illusionary techniques to give a trompe l'oeil effect, and the original has the bird as life sized. Goldfinches were popular pets at the time; their song was pleasant, they could be taught some tricks, and they were thought to bring good health.

Fabritius was killed in 1654 by an explosion of a gunpowder store, which destroyed a quarter of the city and killed over 100 people. This painting was lost until 1859, when it turned up in the collection of a Belgian journalist and art critic, who got it from the family of a soldier who owned it for a long time; how he got it is a mystery.

These days it's famous for being central to a prize-winning novel by Donna Tartt, but its style and history are worth knowing on their own.

From the Mauritshuis, The Hague.

Shadow Puppets: A Dark Twist on Doomlings Gameplay

Disclaimer

The folks behind Doomlings sent me the Shadow Puppets Bolster Expansion for free to review for my blog. While I am very grateful for the opportunity, I won’t let it sway my opinion. This will be my honest review. Make sure you check out my review for the base game. I’ll also be using my Amazon Affiliate link where possible. It really helps me if you use it before you buy anything.

https://youtube.com/shorts/JA3yK9jANKk

What’s in the Box?

Shadow Puppets Bolster expansion is a 40 card expansion that introduces four new species of Doomlings: Deeplings, Glitterings, Moonlings, and Fuzelings. The breakdown:

Deeplings (12 Cards)
- 9 x Traits
- 2 x Dominant Traits
Glitterings (12 Cards)
- 9 x Traits
- 2 x Dominant Traits
Moonlings (12 Cards)
- 9 x Traits
- 2 x Dominant Traits
Fuzelings (4 Cards)
- 4 x Traits
Ages x 2
Catastrophe x 1
Bonus Foil Card x 1

What is Shadow Puppets?

Shadow Puppets is an expansion for the Doomlings deck builder game. You will need the base game to play with these cards. Make sure you check out my full review of the base game.

What is Doomlings

Doomlings is a quirky little card game about the end of the world. Players take turns building a strong gene pool from cards they pull from a collective deck. Each card has a value and some have abilities that interact with other cards or players. For example, a card can allow a player to draw more cards each round, giving them a slight advantage. Each round has its unique set of rules based on the age or catastrophe card in play. For example, a card can force players to only play a certain color card. The game ends when four catastrophe cards are played and the winner is the player with the most points.

How to play

Games with Denver James has a fantastic tutorial that you should watch before you get started. Make sure you give him a like and a follow.

What is Shadow Puppets

Shadow Puppets is a darker themed expansion that essentially allows players to play trap cards. It allows players to disrupt a players turn, swap cards, and even give away cards. It also introduces the subvert mechanic which allows players to sacrifice Doomlings for points. What makes Shadow Puppets unique is is dark edgy flavor of both the abilities and artwork. The set does have a few demonic looking Doomlings. This is your trigger warning.

Review

The Shadow Puppets expansion brings some surprisingly needed dark humor, with interesting mechanics that only make the game more fun. If you like the flavor of the set and need some more trap cards, go get yourself a copy.

Quality

Doomlings is a high quality card game with some very good looking game pieces. The Shadow Puppets Bolster expansion is no exception. The cards are a little thinner than I am used to, but the art and quality of the card stock is as excellent as ever. I still recommend using sleeves. I may be a crazy person that sleeves everything, but it really makes shuffling the cards easier. You will be shuffling this game a lot, and the sleeves will help preserve the game.

Mechanics

I absolutely love the mechanics for this set. Nor only is each new species flavorful, the interactions it creates are so much fun. I love the fact that at any moment, you can just disrupt a persons turn or strait up ruin their whole strategy. There is a card that lets that lets you swap gene pools. You can build a bad pool on purpose to swap with someone who is actively trying to win and ruin their day. It’s like the blue shell in Mario, but with more control. Of course, someone can just swap hands with you and ruin your strategy. That feels pretty balanced to me.

I really like the ages in this expansion. One lets you draw 3 and discard 2. This creates some very tough choices, but it is always fun to draw cards. The other mechanic lets you swap hands, and this can absolutely ruin someone’s day. If you want a set with a lot of disruption, Shadow Puppets is fantastic.

Conclusion

I love Doomlings and recommend to anyone who wants a fun and simple game to pull out at game night. The game is easy to teach, especially for people new to the hobby, and the game is family friendly. Most importantly, it is very easy to set up and take down. Games of Doomlings are pretty quick, but the interactions make it meaningful.

Now if you’re looking for an expansion, Shadow Puppets is awesome. The disruptive nature of the expansion gives the game a layer of fun I didn’t think it needed. It has definitely earned its spot with the rest of my collection.

You can pick up your copy of Shadow Puppets on the official Doomlings website, or on Amazon through my affiliate link.

The Shadow Puppets expansion brings some surprisingly needed dark humor, with interesting mechanics that only make the game more fun. If you like the flavor of the set and need some more trap cards, go get yourself a copy.

Quality

Doomlings is a high quality card game with some very good looking game pieces. The Shadow Puppets Bolster expansion is no exception. The cards are a little thinner than I am used to, but the art and quality of the card stock is as excellent as ever. I still recommend using sleeves. I may be a crazy person that sleeves everything, but it really makes shuffling the cards easier. You will be shuffling this game a lot, and the sleeves will help preserve the game.

Mechanics

I absolutely love the mechanics for this set. Nor only is each new species flavorful, the interactions it creates are so much fun. I love the fact that at any moment, you can just disrupt a persons turn or strait up ruin their whole strategy. There is a card that lets that lets you swap gene pools. You can build a bad pool on purpose to swap with someone who is actively trying to win and ruin their day. It’s like the blue shell in Mario, but with more control. Of course, someone can just swap hands with you and ruin your strategy. That feels pretty balanced to me.

I really like the ages in this expansion. One lets you draw 3 and discard 2. This creates some very tough choices, but it is always fun to draw cards. The other mechanic lets you swap hands, and this can absolutely ruin someone’s day. If you want a set with a lot of disruption, Shadow Puppets is fantastic.

Conclusion

I love Doomlings and recommend to anyone who wants a fun and simple game to pull out at game night. The game is easy to teach, especially for people new to the hobby, and the game is family friendly. Most importantly, it is very easy to set up and take down. Games of Doomlings are pretty quick, but the interactions make it meaningful.

Now if you’re looking for an expansion, Shadow Puppets is awesome. The disruptive nature of the expansion gives the game a layer of fun I didn’t think it needed. It has definitely earned its spot with the rest of my collection.

You can pick up your copy of Shadow Puppets on the official Doomlings website, or on Amazon through my affiliate link.

Car Seat Road Rage

(Idea by Loupy, story co-written)

Their caregivers had hired Yookey to take care of their two adult babies for the weekend, Snow the pizzly (but people say his species as pisse-lit, the French for bedwetter because that how Loupy calls him) and Loupy the wolf. The red panda was really excited the job had included an all expenses paid trip to a theme park.

The drive to the park was the perfect occasion to use something their sister Puppy had bought for the two babies - adult sized car seats with built-in screens and toys that let them pretend to drive. Perfect for keeping the little ones entertained and distracted during the long drive. However, getting them in and harnessed had been a chore, which would make roadside changes a hassle, so they were double diapered for the trip.

Yookey had been surprised by the generous gift from their sister, and for the first half of the trip the toys sure worked really well - not one cry of "are we there yet?" had come from the kiddos.

Then Puppy's devious trap sprung. The toys on the seats talked to each other using Bluetooth. At first the two "cubs" had been racing independently of each other over multiple courses, but now they found themselves on the same track racing each other. Things were getting heated as the difficulty rose and their competitiveness grew. The previously mostly silent cubs started shouting about "blue shells" the loser having "leaky diapers", escalating into arguing over "unfair rules" and "unfair moves".

Yookey sighed, their bickering was really heating up ... and the park was still an hour away! "Car seats with wheels ? What were you thinking, puppy ?!" Yookey mumbled.

Subscription reward by Yookey.

France into Basque Country

Despite concerns about rising fuel costs thanks to Trump’s war on Iran, we decided to press on with plans to tour the Iberian Peninsula—while still feasible. This involved a relatively quick transit of France to reach the Basque Country where our tour would properly commence.

Coordinates

A transit of France

Rain, sleet and hail chased us out of Frankfurt, through the Saarland and over the border into the historical province of Lorraine (with Alsace, Champagne and a few smaller bits, the region of Grand Est since 2016). Our Day 1 pitch was by a marina and faux beach on Lac du Der-Chantecoa, France’s largest artificial reservoir, created to prevent flooding in Paris (📷1). On Day 2 we drove west then south through Centre-Val de Loire to Saint-Amand-Magnazeix in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, where we shared our pitch with Lacerta bilineata | the Western green lizard (📷2). On Day 3 we made a slingshot around Bordeaux out to Dune du Pilat at La Teste-de-Buch on the Atlantic coast, near the entrance to Arcachon Bay. Said to be Europe’s tallest sand dune, it’s 102m tall and just shy of 3km long (📷3). On to pitch near Garet, where 7,50 € paid into a mailbox nailed to a tree secured a spot in a farmer’s field, in which we set up our shower tent—given an unexpected 25°C (📷4).

More views of the dunescape at Dune du Pilat follow. The sand forming this dune accumulated here over some 4,000 years. Picked up by wind and blown against inland obstacles, deposits carried by ocean currents along the Aquitaine coast are derived from rock originating in the Massif Central and Pyrenees that has been progressively reduced by wind, rain, frost and river journeys over the course of many thousands of years. Just so you can pant while climbing it, and yelp excitedly (even if only on the inside) as you descend it—much more rapidly, of course.

From the macro to the micro: jewels in the sand at Dune du Pilat. The dune is home to a variety of dull and not-so-dull bugs, some of which we identified. Pyrrhidium sanguineum | the Welsh oak longhorn beetle sounds as if it’s far from home, but is actually common in much of Europe, where it prefers a supply of oak (📷1). Native Hylobius abietis | the large pine weevil is considered a pest on pine plantations, as they damage seedlings (📷2). The unsightly destruction of forest adjacent to the dune is however the result of fires in 2022 (and subsequent felling), triggered by human activity. Native Coccinella septempunctata | the seven-spotted ladybird is readily identified by counting the three spots on each red elytron, with the seventh spanning both (📷3). Native Cicindela campestris | the green tiger beetle is widespread across Eurasia (📷4).

Northern Basque Country

Given good weather on Day 4 we detoured a short way inland within the Pyrénées-Atlantiques | Atlantic Pyrenees for some mountain landscapes and insights into northern Basque heritage. The Basque Country is a cultural region spanning the western Pyrenees along the Bay of Biscay, of which about 15–20% lies within France (the three historic provinces of Labourd, Lower Navarre and Soule). We pitched in the village of Sare—or Sara in Euskara, the Basque language (📷1). From there on foot we followed a 9km/ 3.5h “Tour de Sare” loop into the surrounding hills, noting some of the houses were fenced with upright stone slabs—a feature of Basque rural architecture (📷2). There was nothing left of the redoubt at the summit of Suhamendi, although we had views out to the Atlantic and across to peak of La Rhune at 860m elevation (📷3). We encountered Pottoks frequently; biologically Equus ferus caballus | the domestic horse, this is a genetically-distinct, pony-sized local breed adapted for mountain living and is considered one of Europe’s oldest surviving horse types (📷4).

On the morning of Day 5 (after obtaining Gâteau Basque | etxeko bixkotxa, a traditional pastry) we crossed the pass to Bera in Spain. Having avoided expensive French tolls, it was 1,350km from Frankfurt to the Spanish border.

Southern Basque Country

Basque Country

The Basque Country is a culturally distinct region with its own language (Euskara) and a long history of seeking autonomy from central governments. As noted above, 15–20% lies in France, while about 80–85% lies in Spain. The Spanish bit—southern Basque Country—includes the Basque Autonomous Community (Álava, Biscay, Gipuzkoa) and Navarre, which has a separate status. Tensions here grew during the 20th century, especially under Francisco Franco, whose dictatorship suppressed Basque identity and political expression. This repression contributed to the rise of the separatist group ETA, which used violence from the late 1950s aiming for independence, until it declared a ceasefire in 2011. While the region today has significant autonomy within Spain, debates over independence and historical grievances still shape its political landscape.

🧭 Exploring

Our first stop in southern Basque Country was to be Donostia | San Sebastián, but after a stressful tour of the city looking for open-air parking (we’re 3m tall) we gave up and left—without Basque cheesecake from La Viña. Westward to Zumaia, specifically Flysch de Zumaia, for a cliff formation of near vertical strata within the UNESCO Geoparkea Zumaia. These strata formed from sediment/ shells that spent 50 million years under the sea between Iberia and the European continent—until their collision uplifted the flysch layers (marl, limestone and sandstone). At the eastern end of the beach is the Paleocene–Eocene Boundary, where 56 million years ago a large release of greenhouse gases caused a 5–10°C temperature increase; the adjacent strata march down into the sea (📷1). Moving back in time, towards the middle of the beach are the Selandian–Thanetian Stratotype at 59.2 million years ago, when Earth’s magnetic poles flipped polarity, and the Danian–Selandian Stratotype at 61.6 million years ago, when sea level dropped ~80m; you can walk right up to these strata below San Telmo chapel (📷2). Ascend to the chapel and walk along the cliff (📷3); at the end of the rocky headland is the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) Boundary, marked by a thin dark layer (📷4). This layer is rich in iridium, corresponding to the Chicxulub asteroid impact in the Yucatan 66 million years ago that wiped out ~75% of Earth’s biota—most famously the non-avian dinosaurs. The return route notes that every one of your steps equates to the passage of about 500,000 years in geologic time. That’s a small step for a human; a giant step for humankind (less than one step = modern humans; five steps = the span of our existence in the Homo genus).

Gaztelugatxe (near Bakio) is a rocky islet on the Atlantic coast of the southern Basque Country (📷1). We arrived early to the small top parking area, which rapidly filled; motorhomes aren’t allowed in the main area. Beware that entry tickets may be required at busy times (book online). The location is best known for its winding stone bridge (📷2) and staircase connecting the mainland to a hermitage perched on the rock. The medieval chapel, San Juan de Gaztelugatxe, dates back (in various forms) to at least the 10th C. and is dedicated to John the Baptist (📷3). Some visitors feel obliged to ring the chapel’s bell three times and make a wish. Some come to climb the 241 steps leading up to the chapel from the bridge, which served as the location of Dragonstone in the TV series Game of Thrones—although the chapel was of course digitally replaced with a faux castle (📷4). It’s a fairly steep 3km return to the top car park.

We visited Museo Guggenheim Bilbao | Guggenheim Bilbao Museum—which is a modern art gallery (it displays art), but is considered a museum because it also collects, preserves, studies, and contextualizes art as part of a broader cultural mission. We parked in Berango and took the train into Bilbao. As we approached the museum we encountered “Puppy”; this oversized dog-shaped artwork is covered in seasonal flowers (📷1). Continuing around the building to the riverside aspect lets you better appreciate its non-conformist architectural design by Frank Gehry (📷2). Riverside is also the location of “Maman”, a giant spider that looks as if it could have been a Wētā Workshop installation (📷3). The largest installation inside is called “The Matter of Time” and comprises eight massive, curved steel sculptures that create winding paths you can walk through (📷4). For some folk it “awakens a heightened awareness of one’s own body, of gravity, and of the surrounding space”, apparently. Once inside others will find only what they took in with them…

From Bilbao we would continue into northwestern Spain.
