I dropped out of inktober half way thru but just did this weird drawing on my last night in Armenia, hope that helps make up for it

frox

@liaizon the drawing has a pretty good level of weird going on. The background carpet and cables are also on the same weird axis as the drawing. Nice framing

my drawing bled thru so I accentuated it and am happy with the result

"The term endonym was subsequently devised as a retronymic antonym for the term exonym. [citation needed]"

"For example, India, China, Egypt, and Germany are the English-language exonyms corresponding to the endonyms Bhārat (भारत), Zhōngguó (中国), Masr (مَصر), and Deutschland, respectively."

had breakfast at a chain pizzeria here called Tashir and was looking up its history cause I was curious about its name. the chain was founded in Kaluga City, RF and in looking up this city I started reading about its most famous resident, a pioneer of space travel from the 1800s

so the noise show just got shut down by the cops (I am in #yerevan #armenia) and they asked me in "who are you?!" and I was having trouble answering cause like how the hell do you answer that question and then they got suspicious and said "if you are Azerbaijani or Turk you are fucked we will kill you" and I was like "no I am just American tourist" and they smiled and said ok and went on to check everyone for drugs. Luckily no one had anything on them and they bid us all adieu and left.

"Although Rahman was initially facing up to 10 years in prison, she accepted a new plea deal that is likely to reduce her sentence to 18-24 months."
