Rubbing eyes this morning… played Blue Prince for waaaay too long last night.

Learning to draw to learn to write better? Maybe… the teacher started talking about an “envelope.” A rough boundary around the subject. No detail yet — just scale and proportion. First drafts are envelopes.

I don’t like birds… but this might be worse 😱 www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/s...

You know when you have 10 great ideas… and can’t draw/write/play a single one? Yeah. That. New war with art is up! open.spotify.com/episode/3XMp...

Artemis 2. Jeremy Hansen is my coworker’s relative and a native of London Ontario. 🇨🇦 Very proud. This is officially, the closest I’m getting to space.

Recorded a few episodes of War With Art at a cottage this weekend. Someone two houses over was doing their spring chainsawing at the same time. Paused us a few times, but I think we got enough to... make the cut.

Updated my portfolio with a bunch of things I worked on for Warframe: The Old Peace #Warframe #TheOldPeace www.artstation.com/timsormin

++ inspiration from the ‘95 film for so many creators— expectations will be big for this, but I like where it’s going. youtu.be/ahZn4dVCbvs

Mestra Carmo plays you a siren song, inviting you to the deadly dance of the Duelo. Answer the call of the sea in Preludes 14!

Last weekend I went to Toronto comic con. Here’s my report. (Spoilers: I met my favourite necromancer) open.substack.com/pub/smcarter...

I gasped…

Fun day ahead for all of us at Digital Extremes :) This at 2pm and a Tennovip in Boston/pax tonight.

PSA: any writing advice I post here is just me publicly reminding myself of something I keep screwing up.

“No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right.” — Ronald Knox Knox wrote this about detective fiction but I think about it for every protagonist I write.

Art from Front Mission illustrated by the legendary Yoshitaka Amano. His signature style brings a unique elegance to the world of mechs.

Getting my Switch 2 ready for the big Warframe launch. …and found Front Mission 3 remake on the store. How I did I miss this? Tactical mech RPGs are apparently still my thing twenty-five years later.

Downside: slept on the floor of a bachelor apartment this weekend at the con. Upside: ultralight gear is ready for hiking season.

Came to sell books. Left having bought one. Classic.

My week in an image.

6:30am train to Toronto Comic Con. One other passenger in the whole car. Pitch black outside. Caffeine free. Somehow still excited. Don't tell anyone.

Spider wire bound tight ‘round orbiting pulleys. Clicking cranks spin with the power of planets. Sinecure hunters boast of Avex’s charged shot, powerful enough to puncture through a doe to kill the fawn behind her, with arrows so sturdy they are wielded as daggers.

Going to see Project Hail Mary tonight. A part of me wants to bring my signed first edition to the theater like a lightsaber.

New episode of The War with Art is up. We talk about chasing exposure, social media relevance, and whether any of it matters. Posting this on social media... obviously. @georgespanos.bsky.social www.warwithart.com/podcast/epis...

Debating one more pass through the manuscript or letting it go. Worried I’ll sand off the rough bits that make it good.

Signing table at Toronto comic con next week for the first time in a while. Trying to remember how to talk about my work to strangers without it feeling like a pitch.

Talked to a painter who spent years training in classical realism in Florence. On the way out, someone told him: “your weaknesses will become your strengths.” Still waiting for that to kick in personally.

NOT NOW, MYSTERIOUS LARGE STEEL CYLINDER

Writer and game developer returning to the internet after 1.5 years off. Cinematic novella dropping this spring. Co-host of The War with Art podcast. Figured Bluesky was the right place to start over.
