I often can't read in my room due to claustrophobia or need for space or something so I have to drive to a secluded area to do some reading.

>>14494238
Is that a misbaha on there ? Also, very based setup

>>14494695
thanks. no, it's a rosary I made this past Christmas. the beads are agathis and wenge wood on jute twine, center piece is a vial of water from Lourdes, and the crucifix is olive wood from Jerusalem. I made two, my mom has the other one.

>>14492577
Please don't bully, I haven't been a fan of My Little P*ny since 2013. I gotta remember to cover those with new stickers.

>he thinks that's a power spectrum
What kind of power spectrum peaks like that then flattens out? What in the name of fuck, if there is that much trend, it doesn't peak. Whenever I see the power spectrum of a series rise, it's usually a slow progression, showing a decent short-term trend but no long-term one.

Any sort of early peak would be somewhat reflected in the lower frequencies. Obviously you have no clue what you're talking about.

Lay the book flat on the table and lean forward, or read it in my palm while I lean the chair back against the wall.

Nice chair budget lmao enjoy your fucked up spine and smelly ass

>>14496283
I prefer to be hunched over a book that is resting on a desk while sitting in on a wooden chair. I have sat in one before and I can say that it was easily the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in. I would only buy one if I had a room dedicated to my music collection, but I fear I would ruin it with cigar smoke or having something spill on to it.

>The Eames lounge chair is massively overrated. It's beautiful, but that's about it. If you're any taller than 5'10, it offers *no* head support (the newer 'tall' version is better, but it also looks a bit misshapen). The reclining angle is OK, but for extended periods of sitting it doesn't offer much variation. On the whole the chair is slightly more comfortable than an IKEA Poang, except for 40 times the price.

>There are better chairs out there. Ekornes Stressles chairs are terrific. For a while Natuzzi was making a chair called the 'Revive' that was tremendously good (though the recline/tilt mechanism was prone to failure). Even the Baughman 74 is more comfortable than the Eames.

>Add to that the fact that the Eames lounge chair was originally supposed to be an inexpensive throwabout chair (that's why they were using bent plywood in the first place!) for the common man, but because Herman Miller owns the design patent on it in the US they keep the price ridiculously inflated.

>There are better chairs out there for less money, and those better chairs will make you look less like a sheep who does nothing but follow 5-year-old pinterest design boards.

I find that chair very nice to look at, but never sat in one. I thought about your argument for tall person,too , cause I am 6'8.
I am at the moment studying, but in some years I will hopefully get a well paid job and can afford a nice sitting establishment for my living room.

>>14499449
I find find them comfortable to sit in if I'm watching something or listening to music, but I can never find a good position to read in. The back is at the perfect angle to make both holding the book in front of you or resting it on your lap awkward, and the armrests aren't pleasant to use.

I use my bed because it's just comfy. Most of the reading stations itt don't look very comfy. I can't imagine spending more than 1 hour on some of those chairs. Unless you're using it to work on academical stuff or something I see no use in reading stations.
>>14501561
No because I don't wanna spill food all over my bed. What kinda stupid comparison is that?
>>14501579
I'm not laying down I just use my pillows as a rest for my back and cover myself in a blanket. Feels nice desu. The only disadvantage is that you could get a lil sleepy sometimes.

You can get much comfier chairs for much cheaper, and only the most tired and insufferable people would consider an Eames to be a status symbol anymore. Snag a Wegner Wing Chair with an ottoman instead, or just hit up a vintage store and get an old chair reupholstered.

Stop vaping, it's making you unhappy

I know, I really want to quit but I don't have the fortitude for the withdrawals.

Stop painting with Black paint. Like liteally throw out your black tube. You can buy another one in 2 years. Mix your blacks, make your shadows colorful. In a warm light shadows will be cool and blue. Add ultrmarine to a flesh tone to make shadows. Look at the shadows in a Wayne Thibaud painting.

Get a palette knife and mix colors on a palette.
