Some of the great art posted on tumblr with the artist's name and art's title posted.

Hey, this is a sideblog where I reblog art. I try to tag each post with the creator and the medium (painting, sculpture, etc.). Feel free to let me know if I mislabeled something.

Potential Patreon Project: The Harrington Materials

The Smithsonian has an archive of notes written by 20th century linguist John Peabody Harrington. In these archive are scanned handwritten notes on Gabrieleño a.k.a. Tongva, among other languages. However, these notes, being handwritten, are not easy to read and are not necessarily handicap accessible for those with vision impairments. I have not been able to find a neat and convenient resource to overcome this issue.

My idea is that if I set up a patreon, people could send me a few bucks a month, and I could do the work of reading through the document and creating spreadsheets or similar documents with the information in the archives, including their reference position, so that people could easily see the information within.

Im currently wrapping up a project and between jobs, so if I am going to invest time in this, this is an ideal time to start. So I guess this is just a gauge of interest.
