"He who is without sin shall throw the first stone", said the convicted murderer to the guy who once stole candy from a store. And then someone no one had ever noticed before threw a stone at the candy thief. The candy thief burst out in anger: "What the hell?? Who are you to claim you are without sin?!" And the unknown man explained: "I do not claim to be without sin, but I claim to believe so, and of course my belief is not flawless, but it is the best I can rely on right now, and I am willing to make the gamble. Maybe my decision to act on it will lead to a lesson that enlightens me further." The candy thief objected promptly: "But NO ONE is completely without sin!" Now the murderer threw a stone at him, too, and that made him outright furious at the insolence. "Now YOU are making an outright mockery of the whole affair!" This prompted the unknown man to throw a stone at the murderer, and the murderer didn't even flinch. The unknown man walked away.

My Bio

Creatively active. Used to do plenty of caption pictures and animated GIFs. Tried to get into music creation, but that's mostly on hiatus. Some focus on video and picture editing, writing (puns, jokes, inspirational essays, song lyrics) and drawing, lately also more gaming-related entertainment, and trying to put the best of me into the creative work I can do with my limited means and skillset. The path I am taking is part of my artistic expression. Life is art.

I love playing with words and giving depth and meaning to things. My alias befits this, being full of potential. It is not only a combination pun of "owl" and "dolphin", but it also contains "do", "ow", "LP", "pH", "phi", "hi" and "in", so in Dowlphin there is action, pain, long play, chemical duality and balance, solution, water, the golden ratio, casual greetings, popularity and being embraced by and contained in something.

I'd be much more creatively active if my life wasn't missing some essential magical ingredients. (I am dealing with long-time depression/burnout. I come alive when things or people I interact with fill me with hope and when my creative drive doesn't bump into walls.)

________________________________________

Most of my caption pictures and animated GIFs (older stuff) can be found on my webspace: images.dowlphin.de.

Please ask me first if you want to use my art somewhere. (Unless it's a trivial case. Just crediting / source linking is fine for those.)

If you like my art, you can make me very happy by adding me to your deviantWATCH. Same goes for my YouTube channel and other web presences. Audience gives me the motivation to continue. Thanks!

You might even like to follow my commenting activity and such. Boring comments are a rarity with me. ... Anything else would not be pieous.

My favorite letter is p. "Why" you don't ask? ... Well, fun with a p is pun. And then there's pony, Pink(ie Pie), party, prank, parody, pretty, play, passion, peace, prosperity, power, portal, paint etc.. Enough said.

Thus my favorite colors are pink and yellow, because both begin with a p.

My favorite bird is the peewit a.k.a. pyewipe (lat. Vanellus vanellus).

My favorite word is "flummoxed". (With eponymous on second place ... for obvious reasons: my eponymous affinity.) I also like the word "humane". Again for quite obvious reasons.

Related personal motto: "The truth is in the punning."

Favourite Gaming Platform

This side of the universe (the only one without an alternative) ... I think that made no sense, but never mind.

Pragmatic protest hairstyle

2 min read

So the Covid incidence just wouldn't go under 50 but even went up again. And I needed a haircut. It was already getting VERY annoying around the neck and ears. And I got that Wahl cutter for a bargain a while ago and always considered it as an option in cases like this. And then I realized how refreshing it is to have a bit less hair to deal with and how 'airy' and convenient it is, besides the pleasant contrast to the former annoyance - I like some variety. But I didn't want to shave it all; I don't think that would fit. But this style should do fine with my facial hair. And thus this is a multi-themed hair style: 1) Pragmatic, as explained 2) Protest, because I refuse to succumb to the mandatory testing for going to the barbershop, tied into the corporate-capitalist (big pharma) regime pushing their own questionable product while lobbying to block the only vaccine I would take if it was absolutely necessary, and I think many others would have been convinced by Sputnik V and boosted

Full Makeover Jacket

0 min read

(update at the bottom) So far I always went with: A leather jacket doesn't wear down, but it gains character. Well, I had a very old one I used all the time and another ancient one I used for colder weather and on the bike and such. But both have really aged, with light spots on the dry leather, rips, torn pocket linings (leading to secret storage, haha), both are boring black. So I went shopping and really didn't expect to almost immediately find something that resonated a lot with me. A couple days ago I found a jacket at a supermarket for 50€ and it was awful, like a plastic corset, and the pocket situation was cheapass. But it awa

Livestreaming has commenced

0 min read

I did my very first proper livestream, with the resources available, pushing the limits all the time, heh: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/237707793 I'd be delighted if you became a Twitch follower. Then things can gain energy and momentum, and I'm SO much better in dialogue than when talking into the void, haha.
