Showing off linework for once :)

Showing off linework for once :)

Current vibe:

first post on bluesky 🤓

The novels and comics that most movies are cribbed from are more important than the movies. It follows that the ritziest awards ceremonies should be for novelists and comic book writers. Actors and directors should exchange statues in a hotel ballroom in Doncaster.

Published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Peer-reviewed. Large sample size. Sound methodology. An antiviral pill has, for the first time, been shown to prevent COVID-19 in individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Ensitrelvir blocks the enzyme coronaviruses need to make new copies of themselves.

Ugh, morning was an absolute bust, and the resistance to doing something I hate doing is STRONG. So I'm gonna get a cup of coffee and start streaming. This will either go very well or very poorly. LET'S DANCE.

The line ‘I don’t know when, I don’t know how, but I know something’s starting right now’ has pissed me off for over 30 years.

Waiting over an hour for a car wash and my watch is giving me LOUD NOISE warnings because I’m practicing my choir bits. …I was gonna stream but ran out of milk and then this happened. OH WELL

My brain just did a ‘we don’t get nice things’ and considered that Netflix might buy Sony Animation and oh god no thank you please

Welp. Shares sold. Account cancelled. deeply disappointing.

Was in the doctor’s this morning and the junior doctor mentioned that her son wanted to be an architect but she was trying to convince him to specialise in AI instead. I was as polite as possible, in that I didn’t call her a fucking idiot to her face.

It’s so wholesome!

:swoon: 13 years and counting <3

Happy 13 years love @ciaranlucas.bsky.social

Ok i guess i'll try to upload my shop stock onto ko-fi If you'd like a headshot commission or just to chip in the price of a coffee, id be very grateful ko-fi.com/ianfayart bsky.app/profile/ianf...

Same with science festivals and events. It’s not very “art and science” if you’re using a technology that billionaires want us to use, but artists ask us not to.

Ireland needs to upgrade grid, storage, and generating capacity. And fuck all the data centers into the sea. #SpeirGorm

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

I just predicted what Teal’c was going to say in Goa’uld… I may have been watching too much of this.

I’m at the stage with baking that I want to be with trad media; ‘I’ll follow your guidance, but if this goes tits up I know what I’d do differently’

I will fight tooth and nail for this book.

If the government introduce a congestion charge in the city they should remove the toll on the m50. Carrots work as well as sticks.

HONKING LOUDLY as there’s only 2 days left in this Kickstarter!

I’m about halfway through my rewatch of stargate. Boy, a LOT of unresolved plot threads starting to pile up. Definitely the result of writing for 42mins, and I accept the inherent silliness of the show. Also I love how the cast take turns having a lie-in-bed episode.

"So many writers that I actually know have lost freelance jobs when their companies replaced them with AI. I don't want to support the industry that is actively putting my own friends out of work."

Great to see! Ireland's official Eurovision fan club is boycotting the competition due to apartheid Israel's participation. Eurovision fans know what's what, they won't go along with the artwashing of Israel’s ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians people. #BoycottEurovision

SNL UK is actually very good, you should check it out if you haven’t!

Out of sorts today. Was falling asleep in the cinema so I left. Hoping a feed will fix me; on my way to a friend’s birthday and am currently not a vibe.

I just backed Ruffian Meat: A Comic Anthology on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/aar...

Some warmups of my companion <3

SUNFLOWER (2010) Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 18” It's her sanctuary...an echo of something I experienced when I was younger. Anyone familiar with my work will know how much I’m drawn to concrete. 1/2

same for if the cover is ai, I'm not reading it - if the store art is ai I'm not playing it

Was a Lyons stan for decades, then said gold blend of either was fine. Now, though, Barry’s gold blend is FAR superior…in that it’s the only one not to deteriorate significantly. I’ve a feeling climate is a part of this story too :/ (for context i drink about 10 pints of tea a day)

Considering it's what I'd encourage friends to do, I really need to get better at promoting the fact that I also have a tip jar patreon. So if you enjoy my art and are able to support with as little as €1 per month, I'd really appreciate it www.patreon.com/bossrushstud...

Levelling up today meant realising ‘you didn’t do this the most efficient way but it’s not *wrong* per se’ and that’s about as big a win as I can hope for. Also found tutorial that will solve A LOT of issues, with lots of meaty learning. I AM ENTHUSED.

I keep thinking back to when we first got Dawn, a few days in, and I was walking her by myself when her tail started pointing up. I did NOT realise that was her default status and she finally was starting to get used to me and feel safe.

youtu.be/ngLlzh-2Xes?... No gifs but THE WHOLE FILM. haven’t seen this in about 20 years? But I have seen it at LEAST 50 times.

I have considered Moleskine to be outrageously overpriced for quite some time but using AI to generate a sketchbook cover betrays a level of hubris that is wild even for them. Those high prices and they couldn't be bothered to pay a human? Dump 'em. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

I got up and tried the ‘get your body moving before your mind can talk you out of it’ and did a 30 min walk… then Dave suggests bringing Dawn to the beach. Home and lunch in me but my body is like ‘you have spent all available resources’ …so immobile on the couch for now.

I got like 4hrs sleep last night and it’s catching up! But today was good.
