"Great," the student said, "another princess coming to learn the sword instead of the needle." "Leave," the swordmaster said to him. "Return when you have learned silence." "I have mastered the needle," the princess said. "I wish to learn the sword as well." "Both?" She nodded. "Both is good."

Yesterday I made these adorable mushrooms out of wooden buttons, wool, lace and pipe cleaner, as well as some cute embellishments! I'll be selling them this Saturday, along with my art, at the Hex Market in Malmö! #art #crafting #autumn #mushrooms

my best artwork tends to be done because i am hoping deep in my heart that the person who receives it will be happy. i pay attention to details, i add extra touches, i try my best to think about the subject and i truly want nothing more than to connect with other people through my efforts.

In September, we... make pumpkin cream soup with garlic baguette 🥖

I've made a comic adaptation of this story, with permission! Available to purchase in person over the weekend at Malmö Seriefest. I'm super thrilled to see it in print, and to get to share it with people! I will most likely have it available digitally after the weekend. #art #comic

I'm working on a new game! It is a cozy and tiny wildpark management game, where you try to attract mysterious creatures and take photos of them! Here is a work in progress of the planting mechanic! #gamedev #indiedev #cozygames

I painted this Hollow Knight picture years ago for a friend, back before I had played the game myself. I've since fallen in love with it too and very excited to play Silksong! #art #hollowknight #silksong

I thought I should add some Alt text to this important message. It's Mr. Rogers, saying the following as he draws some random thing: "I'm not very good at it, but it doesn't matter. It's the fun of doing it that's important. No matter how anybody says it is, it feels good to have made something."

The plan was simple: sneak into the Knights’ headquarters, steal what they need, and get out before sunrise. But when the past catches up in the form of the boy he left behind, Blue must confront the memories that refuse to stay buried. 'Knightfall' is a new comic by @runefruit.bsky.social!

Dates, of different kinds 💐

To put it bluntly, this is a fucking disaster. For consumers, for small businesses and artists, for everybody. The US is cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world and for what?? Even if this gets sorted out or walked back, it’s going to cause a major disruption.

Here are 4 of my #artfight pictures this year! #procreate #art

It is _excellent_ and I highly recommend it! I've read the ebook already and am excitedly waiting for my shiny Waterstones copy.

Coming to the fair in Oct, @inkpangur.bsky.social's superb 'Dream Loop': A girl is caught in a loop of strange dreams - some absurd, some painfully real. Each time she thinks she is awake, she's still dreaming. What's keeping her trapped in this world of nightmares- and can she break free?

Traffic

Actually, just normalizing it isn't enough. Demand it. REQUIRE it. Make whimsy the default. Put the onus on the unwhimsical, to replace their little mouse hinges with like, squares or whatever.

It's mother's day today here in Sweden, and this is the painting I did as a card for my mum (the fearsome black dragon)! My brother and I are offering her a new plant for her garden hoard. I used watercolours and coloured pencils. #art #dragon #morsdag #mothersday

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

Not ruling out this is a parody, but it does match the tone of commercials for AI which, for the first time I can remember, are basically trying to sell being a huge fuck up as an aspirational lifestyle.

For Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg! #Glorious25th #GNUTerryPratchett How do they rise up?

"The Mixtecs are the snail’s most important protectors. Their presence in the national park deters poachers, and they follow strict rules so as not to harm the purpura population.

Young Goku is such a cutie! I don't normally use such bold and saturated colours but it was a lot of fun. This painting is one I recently did for @cunobaros.bsky.social , for his birthday. #art #songoku #dragonball #fanart

Kurt Vonnegut man

This is a real Me thing to get hung up on but I saw someone 'answering' "What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?" by putting The Ghibli Filter on a trailer of Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring. That is the most "i don't understand anything about making stuff" maneuver you could ever make.

A BLATANT reminder that I will NEVER support Al or use it.

"I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." — Hayao Miyazaki Art is made by people: a result of decades of life experience, training, mistakes, tough days and long nights – all culminating in the act of creation. GenAI may replicate, but it can never, ever create.

Seeing the new wave of A I Ghibli slop and remembering this time last week I was so in love with a new art process that I ran my pens dry. Some people have devalued art so much they cannot and will not ever experience that kind of joy or see it as valuable and that is really sad idk

Seeing a lot of genAI art used in the service of fascism lately

"Dragon!" the knight called, "I'm here to end your reign of terror!" "I merely land by a town and ask if they will give me someone to eat." "Yet when they offer a sacrifice you spurn it and instead eat the mayor." "Yes. And if they refuse to sacrifice anyone, I leave." "That's... Hm. Carry on."

A little watercolour of a sweet and decrepit little overgrown fiat 500. I enjoyed playing with burnt sienna coloured ink with my dip pen for the line art! There's 4 creatures to spot, can you find them all? #art #watercolor #car #cat
