It’s cool that we just can’t support new things anymore, just remakes and sequels until the world ends 🫠

It’s getting dark and I still got a lot on my todo list. Sketching a goblin at the moment. Listening to the new Thundercat album.

Charlie the Longhollow Short Tail.

Today I’m going back and forth between sketching and writing. I’m working out some world building ideas for my story as well as working on a writing assignment for my class. I am currently on a side quest figuring out various factions in this Faerie kingdom.

Morning Bluesky! Today is a catching up day I hope. Especially my writing. But for now it’s coffee and mermaids.

If being left behind by ai would mean they would actually leave me alone and not force their ai on me, I would be happy to be left in the dust

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

At a bus stop talking to an elderly woman who may or may not have left her gloves in a cab.

Hey, it's like me! Happy Saturday 👻

‘This tower, patched unevenly with black ivy, arose like a mutilated finger from among the fists of knuckled masonry and pointed blasphemously at heaven. At night the owls made of it an echoing throat; by day it stood voiceless and cast its long shadow.’ ~ Mervyn Peake. #BookWormSat

I got a new sketchbook and I’m filling it up with characters from my story. I’m doing little write ups on all the characters in the story so far and posting the write ups and drawings on Patreon. I’m hoping to have a first draft done by early summer.

Charlie the cat is a spy in Faerie.

Apparently there’s new Boards of Canada music coming! I’m listening to their last album in anticipation.

Drawing! Hope you’re all doing good! I’m feeling kinda tired and worn out today. Getting a viogner tonight to help.

Good morning!

A new study from UC Santa Barbara shows that watching experimental animation expands creativity and opens new ways of seeing the world. #Animation #ExperimentalAnimation #MentalHealth #BrainRot

Stupid, gloomy week. Cat missing. The broader state of the world. AI garbage. The American government etc. anyhoo I drew a cat.

I was in a locksmith shop today and they had no screens. The cash register wasn't smart. They wrote my order by hand. I asked if I could stay there. They said no.

Another one of those pesky artists who didn’t want my livelihood stolen by Ai douche-canoes here. Whether or not you think LLM’s are “useful” there’s no *ethical* use that currently exists. I want my children to have functioning frontal lobes and water to drink, thanks.

we know

Close quarter take down. Timber Mouse hurls his hatchet at a Carrion Twig Demon. Work continues on third book of the Gwelf trilogy. More soon. Tally Ho!

I know lots of people have been sharing this but it’s too amazing not to share myself. Tom Waits & Massive Attack have made an incredible, angry track. Please watch the video. So important. youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE?...

Argh.

Just what I needed.

I can’t find my cat I had an argument with my partner and I finished my sketchbook, terrible time for Bluesky to glitch out.

I've been listening to Tom Waits for 40 years and I don't think I've ever heard him genuinely angry until now

I guess you all stopped following me?

Sneakpeek at ‘LIMBO’, the new film from ‘Flow’ creator Gints Zilbalodis: • He spent nearly 2 years completing this first animatic shot. • The entire film is contained in a single Blender file.

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

When we see a problem with “teenagers,” it almost always is actually a problem of the adults they’re surrounded by

Another faerie knight design. I think this is close to what I want.

Morning all. I’ve been trying to work out this character for a few days now. A sort of faerie knight in a loo mask. Cats still missing.

A sort of Faerie knight character I’ve been working on for the last couple of days.

First time this Spring I’ve been able to sit in the yard and draw. Not really a pretty day. The sun keeps peeking through though.

I have to type up a little story for Patreon today. These little bits I’m posting there are background for another, bigger story. Where do you all type up your words? My phone is intuitive but unsatisfying. Laptop seems unnecessarily heavy duty for the task. Etc.

Exactly 💯

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

Good morning. I’m pretty sad and stressed because my cat is still missing. But I’m trying to be hopeful. Just sketching and writing today. I wrote a Patreon which I’ll post later today.

Knight of the sunken castle. A character in the story that I’m working on.

Good morning Bluesky. Another mostly writing day here. I’m hoping to get another character write up posted on Patreon later today.
