Today from Reckoning 9, "Repurposed Parking Garage", solarpunk design art by @jacobcoffinwrites.bsky.social depicting a post-car-culture future, brutalist infrastructure converted to practical use, with bike shop, fruit stand, rooftop orchard, and 1910s-era streetcar! reckoning.press/repurposed-p...

I'm very excited to announce that one of my Postcards from a Solarpunk Future has been published in Reckoning Press! Reading short stories in Reckoning was I think the main thing that got me to give solarpunk another look. reckoning.press/repurposed-p... #solarpunk #art #photobash #collage

#bookbinding #diy Does anyone know of an online library of open-license, interposed, print-ready books? Is there already a site for them? If not, it's something I'll try to do, eventually I know prepping the files is part of the fun but if it lowers the barrier for entry I think it's worth it

A softcover copy of the Fully Automated solarpunk TTRPG rulebook, made by hand following the Pretty Perfect Paperback Guide. Bookbinding is much easier than you think! My guide: movim.slrpnk.net/blog/jacobco... Penrose Press: www.penrosepress.ca/blogs/nerd-t... #solarpunk #diy #bookbinding #TTRPG

If you're looking for Creative Commons Solarpunk artwork there's a new repository of it at storyseedlibrary.org/art/ They're still starting out and gathering up art so if you have something to contribute it's a good time to reach out! #creativecommons #solarpunk #art #copyleft

Solarpunk Cargo Ship in a Storm - a steel-hulled, four-masted barque with an open-source variant of dynarig sails tries to escape a storm. This image and (all the Postcards from a #Solarpunk Future) is CC-BY, use it how you like. Full post: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/08/20/s... #art

More and more people have at least heard of the #solarpunk movement. I say "movement" not genre because it didn't begin on the page.

My first #bookbinding project - a hardcover version of the Fully Automated! #solarpunk #TTRPG Rulebook As with most of my DIY projects, I wrote up a step-by-step here: movim.slrpnk.net/blog/jacobco... You can also get the interposed, ready-to-print files here: fullyautomatedrpg.com/resources/ #DIY

A Bike Kitchen and Sunken Greenhouse Behind a Reclaimed/Repurposed McMansion This was both part of my postcard series and part of the art for the #solarpunk Buried Treasure #TTRPG campagin Full post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/08/09/a... #art #scifi #photobash

One of our devs is attending the #neotropolis #cyberpunk #larp #festival and made this sick promo for FA! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U3r4UmpjDrSwIKJfIH3Slsb1yj9zb8nZ/view?usp=sharing @jack-gross.bsky.social#neotropolis#cyberpunk#larp#festivalalso going to run a one-shot while there, so if you're going and want to try […]

Another Postcard from a Solarpunk Future: this time of a #solarpunk workshop built around multiple ways to use the sun, including several giant fresnel lenses beaming light down from the observatory-style dome on the roof Full post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/05/17/s... #art #scifi

Alright folks, we are on the final 3 days of our Backerkit campaign for Why We Fight! If you haven't backed yet, your time to do so is running out! Let me tell you why you should... bit.ly/whywefightrpg?ref=bsky #IndieTTRPG #Solarpunk #TTRPG #antifascist

Anybody know if there's any large repositories for Solarpunk, Utopian/Protopian, Anarchofuturist, and/or Afrofuturist media? Looking for freely available images, video/gifs, and audio/music. I eventually want to create my own media to add to the world, but that may take a while. NO AI PLEASE!!

Some more transportation-based location #art for the #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign It shows a scene from inside the starting village's food forest, where few public transit options happen to be in the same shot. The game system is Fully Automated (fullyautomatedrpg.com) but you could use any system!

Corrupt #gavinNewsom is once again doing the bidding of PG$E, leveraging his cronies in the cpuc to attack rooftop solar. Join @solarrights.bsky.social in defending. You can also tell Gavin off to his face on April 24th. #rooftopsolar

Postcard from a #Solarpunk Future: Deconstruction crews disassembling abandoned McMansions so the material can be reused, and #rewilding the site Full post: slrpnk.net/post/9173975 This picture, and all the other postcards (jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/05/02/d...) are CC-BY #art #photobash

Proud to be the 285th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Why We Fight - a solarpunk narrative TTRPG! https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/stop-drop-roll-games-studio/why-we-fight-a-solarpunk-narrative-ttrpg?ref=bk-social-pledge-button #solarpunk #gamedev #ttrpg #rpg #hopepunk

Another bit of location #art for the #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign book Buried Treasure - this time of a spring house. These (and cold houses) come up a few times in the story where they're used to collect water or for basic refrigeration. I've only seen one IRL that was this big/nice. Details in alt

Some more location #art for the Buried Treasure #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign book, showing the approach to the starting village (a repurposed development of McMansions around a golf course turned into an agricultural community and food forest). Last stop on the game's extensive public transit network

I've been working on some location #art for a #solarpunk #TTRPG campaign. This farm was part of the #meshnet for the mostly-abandoned town Full text post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2025/02/10/b... The campaign will be published by @FullyAutomatedRPG.mstdn.games.ap.brid.gy #scifi

A postcard from a #solarpunk future - a caustic soda locomotive stopped at a solar drying station I think these mostly-forgotten engines could pair with solar steam generators in a really cool, asynchronous way to create analogue solar-powered trains jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/04/07/c...

Here's a treat! We've got a new adventure coming out this spring, and you can get a first look in this awesome developer update from the lead writer @jacobcoffin ! https://jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2025/01/06/buried-treasure/ #solarpunk #ttrpg #rpg #hopepunk #cyberpunk #degrowth

Hey #solarpunk #writers and #artists, I pulled together a list of car parts that can be reused in other contexts. This could be useful in set-dressing a community that gets by with a lot of salvage or where cars are less dominant in how we live. jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/09/04/u...

Sorry, folks, it appears our web server has been unable to handle the interest! Bear with us?

A #solarpunk photobash, set somewhere in the transition towards a #LibraryEconomy. An electric streetcar truck collecting heavy items from the waste stream for repair/reuse, and distributing fixed items from libraries. Full post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/01/16/l... #art #scifi

A woman gave up her legs to become a mermaid, surgically. Then she goes missing. #Solarpunk #sciencefiction #scifi #mermaid #Mystery BOOK RELEASE: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/missing-me...

Another Winter #Solarpunk Postcard - A #Woodgas Conversion Plow Truck Filling a Village Snow Vault (an idea from a discussion on the solarpunk subreddit - www.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/...) For more information, see the full post: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2024/01/03/w... #art #scifi #photobash

I write about #solarpunk in novels too, not just on walls.

Another #solarpunk postcard - it includes tons of elements suggested by folks on slrpnk.net and reddit.com/r/solarpunk. You can find the full list here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/12/21/s...

Continuing the theme of roads being less-used in #solarpunk, here's a winter scene of a ropeway over a seasonal road, with a snow groomer working as a modern day snow roller (how they made roads passable before plow trucks) jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/11/06/r... #art #photobash #winter

Another bit of the industrial side of a solarpunk future - looking at how to transport crops from farm to trainyard when roads have been deprioritized, since big trucks generally need better roads than passenger cars Full post: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/11/03/a... #solarpunk #art #scifi

Airship yard in the early morning Another glance at the more industrial parts of this #solarpunk future. This one was inspired by the massive mountains of clothes which have been dumped, brand new and unsold, in the Atacama desert in Chile Full post: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/11/01/a...

Another Postcard from a Solarpunk Future - a photobash of a waystation in a ropeway network Full post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/10/20/r... #art #scifi #solarpunk #photobash

One of my #solarpunk #art goals is to show more of the industrial spaces that societies will still need. Like this photobash of solar furnace steel recycling (realistically EAF smelting on green power will probably work fine) Full post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/09/15/s...

Another Postcard from a Solarpunk Future - this one of a repurposed parking garage and a streetcar. Full text post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/09/11/r... And here: slrpnk.net/post/2137460 #solarpunk #photobash #art #scifi

A quick tool fixup - a set of outside calipers I bought secondhand. Full step-by-step here: movim.slrpnk.net/blog/jacobco... I much prefer finding old tools and fixing them to buying them new. #diy #fixing #solarpunk

The second postcard from a solarpunk future. I wanted to show a setting where cars are no longer the priority, and to show that a #solarpunk society will embrace new technology and infrastructure where it's a good use of limited resources (in contrast to the emphasis on reuse in my other art). #art

That's really cool!Just inherited one like this from my dad, we are going to clean it up and try to get it working.

This lathe had been stored in a leaking garage for several years before they offered it to me - I cleaned up the rust and got it back into use. I've mostly used it to replace broken handles on kitchen tools and to make other spindles. Full post here: movim.slrpnk.net/blog/jacobco... #fixing #diy

My first #solarpunk photobash - I wanted to emphasize values like reuse and helping your community with this scene of a tech salvage co-op recovering usable equipment from an abandoned office park Full post here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/2023/08/25/s... And here: slrpnk.net/post/1695397

I love woodworking, tool repair, building stuff, messing with electronics, and generally making things, especially when I can make them out of secondhand parts and materials. I've posted about those projects on slrpnk.net but I've also used their movim instance here movim.slrpnk.net/blog/jacobco...

Release day for Metamorphosis! You’ll find my story, Seven Sisters, inside. ❤ Thanks to Grist.org and Milkweed Editions for taking tge leap to publish hopeful climate fiction. #solarpunk

Hi, I write science fiction and photobash #solarpunk artwork. I've been doing a world building project where I focused on specific aspects of the setting. I'll post the art I've made so far weekly but you can find it all here: jacobcoffinwrites.wordpress.com/postcards-fr...
