This was my first memorial portrait of a person. Someone taken far too soon. There is a lot more weight behind getting it right, to honor him, and to capture him the way others remember. I hope I did right by you. Rest easy, Tyler

Ted Cruz deciding to leave or not during a Texas freeze feels like groundhog day at this point

@rare.co.uk @iam8bit.com Found the track, hidden in plain view and completely on brand for your studio. Huge thank you for the delightful puzzle. Solving it felt exactly like finding a big secret in one of your games, especially before online guides were common. Hats off, very well done! 💙💛

Cool palette accident while cleaning up some glazes

Reskeet a photo someone else took of you that you don't hate

Finally putting the finishing touches on an acerglyn I made with @wretchplays.bsky.social. It's been in secondary ferment forever and doesn't taste funky anymore! Backsweetened with dark maple syrup and added some tannins.
