Hey all I'm looking for work! I'm experienced in character design and costume for games and film as well as illustration for books and TTRPGS. I'm based out of BC Canada looking for freelance or full time. My portfolio is linked in the first comment, thank you for shares!

Augmented reality, old school: The Higgs field is everywhere ... so I am overlaying a geometric construction of its potential with a watercolor painting of a pond! First experiment with watercolors on canvas (primed with DIY watercolor ground) #MathArt #SciArt #Physics

"Vortex" is a remake of the cover image of "An Invitation to Real Analysis" as a postcard. The looming sky torus is the image of a ray of slope π on a square torus, with color along the ray graded to highlight π~=22/7. www.routledge.com/An-Invitatio... #MathSky #MathArt #SciArt

I was getting bored of making regular convex deltahedron as paper models for chemists. Delighted with this non-convex distraction. A highly symmetry (icosahedral) 120- faced Möbius deltahedron. I'm sure mathematics is art. 🧪 #SciArt

Enjoying my current reading. This book is a collaboration between an artistic engineer and an interactive artist. Best e-book price by far was directly from Springer. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s. Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago. Still a work-in-progress.

Recently I've been working with analog magnetic sensors for reading keyboard position, velocity and aftertouch. Wrote a quick FM-synthesis engine for some sweet 1980s synth bells. Then took the prototype keyboard for a test drive on one of them free jam-tracks. : } #music #synthesizer #electronics

The Cass Review’s findings are synonymous with the eugenic notion of “feeblemindedness”. Both trans and neurodivergent people are asserted to be unable to decide who they are, either due to disrupted internal mechanisms or susceptibility to “social contagion.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's today's Drawrch illustration, just a little bit late! This was my first time using one of the "new" brushes from the refreshed brush library in Procreate. Not bad! #drawing #illustration #art #digitalart #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #drawrch

Listening to this now and it’s wonderful. If you need something to bring your heart rate down just a little, but still move you, this is it.

Seemingly spellbound by the forces and might he has unleashed, may the president awaken to the chaos and true human cost of the war he seems to mistake as an exercise of him as the Peacetime president.

Me, for the last 5 years: Come walk along and I promise I'll slow down for you! My life partner: Hah, no thanks, Don!

Final design. Happy National Kidney Month!

Messing around, relearning Ruby and using the Ruby2d library. Nothing fancy yet. Painfully slow rendering compared with javascript, though I love the simplicity of Ruby syntax.

Forcing a living subject into a narrative trope is bad enough. When that person has long disclosed a childhood diagnosis of autism, it seems particularly egregious.

My brain really wants to stay up all night listening to music, but I know I absolutely don’t need to miss any sleep right now. In the meantime, I made a list of all of your great music recommendations and I’m excited to check them out. Thank you all so much!

Intrusive recurring thought while in the dentist's chair today: is my tongue in the right position?

There's a lenten mission at our parish this week. Turns out the priest who gave the Mass and talk was an engineering professor who ran a course in philosophy for the engineers. Of course he talked to us about how human spiritual agency can be gained by tools but lost by devices, eg AI.

If you haven't been aware, Physics Girl (Dianna Cowern), @thephysicsgirl.bsky.social here on BlueSky, has been sick with long COVID, and specifically COVID-induced ME/CFS, since 2022. Here is her first science video in 3+ years. Here's how solar neutrinos work! www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3m3...

When there's so much which I can't fix, self-care: physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally is my way forward. Creating, talking, hugging, laughing, crying, listening, exercising, and exercising patience heals me and those I love. Structure, balance, kindness. I write this to remind myself.

10 exterior angles of 15º and 15 exterior angles of 14º make 25 angles and so 25 sides. also, a solution requires that # angles has to be an integer >24 (ie360º/15º) and <25.7142857143 (ie 360º/14º) thx!
