When you know you'll be sad to see the NPC you and the players have grown attached to leave in a few sessions, but you are also relieved because voicing them is almost painful #ttrpg #ishouldwarmup

Finding out I got blocked for making an entirely harmless joke about the suggestive shape of some architecture really settles how joyless the user base here can be.

The world feels too heavy lately. #monoprint Acrylic on paper. #art #printmaking #figuratively #grief

A Pearl

Battlemallet 35000: Shadowtide

Sharing another new painting included in my solo exhibition at LeMieux Galleries in New Orleans. In Our Veins is on view now through February 21st as well as online at lemieuxgalleries.com. "Void" Acrylic on canvas 12" x 12" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #wildlife #contemporaryart

This oil on canvas showing the garden at the front of the studio was finished in 2024 and hung in the autumn exhibition of the Cambridge Drawing Society where it found a buyer. I called it "The Stepladder" (size 30" X 34"). #art #oilpainting #cambridgegarden #oillamp

30 unique card effects drafted. 4 unique territories drafted. Chipping away at this game bit by bit, on schedule for prototyping by Spring.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

Traveled to Japan last month and here is my attempt of capturing the vibrancy of autumn in one of the temple grounds in Kyoto #painting #art #landscape

Another World 🎨 acrylics on large canvas 40x30”

A study of the quoted piece in pastel. December 2025 Thank you @cuffianart.bsky.social for this opportunity, I learned a huge amount from this! #art #pastelart #arts Tudy (Reposting because I forgot tags again...)

Tendrils Soft pastel on ingres, Nov 2025 Another practice piece. Working out how to get depth with pastel. Also trying out masking tape methods for clean lines, very challenging with such an unstable medium. #art #pastelart

I say some variation of this to my wife on a bi-momthly basis. She is probably sick of hearing it by now.

I've now opened a raffle for this embroidery landscape - direct link below! The listing has full details for the reason and how to enter, the process, etc. This is a vital moment for me so any post engagement/shares will be extremely helpful! victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #art

Seems my discover tab has finally got the message and is now 85% actual human made art. Glorious.

The frogs will rise.

"Slide" Pastel on ingres, Nov 2025 Trying some stuff. A (very very bad) style study of Cuffian Art's work, go look at his stuff it's way better than this! #art #pastelart

Reactionary cretins, 1974-2000: D&D is for satanic gays and weirdos Reactionary cretins, 2001-2014: D&D is for nerds, gays and weirdos Reactionary cretins, 2015-present: D&D is ruined because of woke, gays and weirdos

An Abstract (?) Expressionist #FossilFriday: Essence of a Graptolite (2014) by Sue Purcell. It 'was inspired by a fossil I found during a field trip with the fossil club at the Lower Llanfawr Quarry, Llandrindod Wells, Powys. Mid-Wales' (www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting...)

Was in the mood to make a dungeon synth album cover.

I painted a big canvas last night 🎨 100x75cm

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

When I accidentally use someone's full forename in an email, and then they add an "er" to the end of mine, I always wonder if they realise my full forename is actually Christoph. Adding an "er" when they've already been calling me Christoph means they're addressing someone who doesn't exist!

It’s been a busy week with a big focus around AI in healthcare (my day job). But I finally had a chance this morning to start this tufted titmouse in watercolor. Grateful for these quiet moments especially when life decides that top gear is needed. #birds #sciart

"It'S a tWo hoRSe rAcE" Media spin has never been my favourite. So glad to prove them utterly wrong.

‘Dawn Chorus’ 🎨 2022 acrylic on canvas 10x12”

Squash Leaves In Abstract - October 2025 Pastel on ingres paper. I visited a pumpkin patch with my wife for our third anniversary and felt inspired. Using this as a chance to try out some new methodologies from an abstract painting book by Rolina van Vliet. #art #pastelart

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

I promise you, no matter how inescapable it may feel, you can actually stop using Amazon. Like, sure, you've got gift cards or credits or whatever, use them up. But you absolutely do not need to use Amazon for just regular life purchases. You can get things at a store. I promise.

I already barely watched movies. Every time I look at the popular stuff I see awful CGI that jars me out of the moment. Now I'm simply not going to watch movies at all.

For some reason Coheed & Cambria waited 4 months to release the deluxe version of Vaxis 3. Unfortunately for me, these four tracks are absolutely worth £5 each. Poor wallet, pleased eardrums.

I haven't written anything new in ages, so I need to remind myself there are words inside me

‘Alpine’ 2024 🎨 acrylics on canvas 12x12”

A newer #painting for you. "Roscommon Bog", finished only a few weeks ago, came out of a lifetime of enjoying the bogs in the middle of Ireland. Many of my earliest days of cycling involved 200 km loops out into the bog of Allen. This painting came out of a later day. #ArtYear #Scape #SpeirGhorm

My painting THE CAIRNGORMS

I'm reposting this again because it still absolutely rules and people should see it!

I’m sending my beautiful painting to its new home in Illinois today. Thank you to the wonderful collector 🎨✨

Just made a carbonara with guancale for lunch since my wife starts eveningUni classes today, my stomach does not know how to process this much richness at 1pm

My wife and I have been playing Baldur's Gate 3 again but this time on tactician. Grym is hard enough on normal without a monk, it was positively gruelling this time. Avatar of Myrkul is going to suck.

Do you ever open a text and think “I’ll reply when I have the energy” and then BOOM it’s been two weeks and you’re a terrible person

No, I'm sorry, this is Midtown Funk. You'll need to take a cab.

My painting SEA PINKS

Well this website is unusable for the time being. I don't even think muting words/phrases will be enough this time thanks to all the sub-skeets and I'm doing one of those right now!

Forgot the tags again... #art #pastelart
