Well. I'd like to post and talk about art all the time, but it's just not that world right now. We have to tell our governments they must oppose the US's illegal actions. We should avoid the Olympics, the World Cup there, and anything that grants the US international legitimacy. What a shitshow :/

Papanasi! I said to a Romanian friend nearly 2 years ago I’d try to make it, after having some in a restaurant in Bucharest, and tonight I finally got to it. She says it looks right, and it tastes how I remember! 😃

What's YOUR mood facing the start of the new year? 🙃

I have no idea if you can even hear me 😂 I’m sheltering from the Berlin NYE fireworks with my partner in a cafe, celebrations get quite rowdy here! Anyway, HAPPY 2026 BLUESKY! It’s been a tough year, but we can support each other and build community together in 2026.

A short while ago I was in Warsaw, and had a coffee with the very cool @augustanna.bsky.social, who gave me this wonderful linocut! Gah, though, we both forgot to get a selfie at the time! Go give her a Follow if you've not already. Anna, thank you again, and let me know if you're ever in Berlin!

Oh *absolutely*. Be professional, be reliable - these things are what will have clients returning.

#artvsartist 2025 - not a bad year at all in terms of stuff painted 🎨

I figured out why baristas here often look at me funny when I place an order. Sometimes I order, for my gf, a hot chocolate with oat milk. All very normal, right? But I've been ordering HEFEmilch, instead of HAFERmilch. I've been asking for hot chocolate with YEAST MILK!! Hence the looks. Whoops.

Jesus Christ it's cold outside 🥶 These hardy meat cubes don't seem to mind, though.

My dearest friends, and even enemies I've yet to make - You do not need to surround yourself with hostility just because of family ties. If you're lucky enough to have good relationships, wonderful. If you're not, by god you can choose other people around whom you can celebrate the season! 🎄

Hello all you lovely new people! I'm Sam, and I semi-regularly post illustrations/sketches (below is a slice of the kind of thing I do), and sometimes post food. Nice to meet you all, and happy holidays! 👋

Artists! Quote with you most detailed art! 🎨 I have one for this :D

Happy Winter Solstice, my friends! The days get longer after this one. Be good, be kind, tell your people you love them, and deny a place at your table to anyone who would strip another human being of their rights.

Done. Fellow artists, let's get in on this and let our voices be heard!

We might need a light to help us find our way into the new year...

Having done concept work… yes, 100% Zane is right. You get better, cooler, weirder, wilder, fresher ideas with creatives bouncing off each other than a plagiarised soulless mashup will get you. The earlier the stage of design, the more critical it IS to the design. Abandon AI. Choke the beast.

Oh my goodness. Seeing a Beksinski exhibition, looking at the paintings and drawings in person (and experiencing a pretty cool VR show), I am such a happy artist right now.

HOT FRESH NEW ART! This one's been sitting for a while, but it finally got printed in the Adeptus Mechanicus Player's Guide for the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum, so here is the little spot illustration 'Shattered Mask':

Artists, show us your red art 🩸

Completely agree. Being forced to show all of this teaches you how to give *weight* to your figures, and learn about the mechanical principles of *balance*. Those are not easy, but the boost to your skills will be huge.

If you see this, post your 𝗕𝗟𝗨𝗘 artworks! 💙

I'm still working but slowing things down quite a bit for December ('cause I've not really had any break this year! Burnout, kids, it's bad!), and this looks fun! I can't guarantee *when* I can respond, but I can guarantee that I *will*. Fire away 😀🎨

I am delighted to accept the first ever FIFA prize for 'Successfully Living On The Moon'.

I made @aragusea.bsky.social‘s crust pie - some small adjustments were needed for different available ingredients here and for a different size pie dish, but otherwise it’s the same, and it’s pretty good!

The Rescue - an Ul-Khari Aeldari Wraithlord unearths a trapped Guardian from the crashed ruins of their Craftworld. I *think* this was only a 1/4 page, so relatively small. Feels like an archive dive, but this was published in 2024. What even is time!?

Holy... I've just hit 8k Bsky Followers! That's really quite astounding to me, this is now the biggest platform I've had anywhere online - thank you so much to everyone who has come along for the ride, and I've lots of really fun stuff lined up and coming out of NDA in 2026 🥳 Cheers! 🍻

My take on the Adeptus Mechanicus symbol, which has featured in various books for the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory.

A little light reading to round out the evening.

Signal boosting!

Goodnight!

So much online is ragebait (partially why I'm screenshotting and not linking), but in baking as in art, make what *you* want to make and take joy in that. It won't be everyone's cup of tea and that's the beautiful thing about individual preference. Spread the good vibes!

The gift that keeps on giving. gizmodo.com/ram-prices-g... If you are using AI in *any* capacity, even fun little ones you think don't matter, just stop, don't actively (I say actively cause it's being forced on us all...) engage at *all* on any front. Choke the beast.

My carrot soup, a vegan curried lemon beef with pine nuts and cilantro topping, with flatbreads my partner made 😋 So, so much work under NDA right now. My goodness.

#Frieren Real quick n dirty, me looking up at all the cool interpretations of this meme there've been 😀 I purposefully didn't use ref but I did recall the Loomis exercises (go look them up!) for constructing the head. Obvs for any serious attempt, USE REF!

Quote how you draw women!

Art vs Artist 😀 And yeah, I probably was pulling that face while painting. You all know how it works with more extreme expressions 😜

40k battle scenes! All of these are for the 40k ttrpg Wrath & Glory.

It really is holiday season right now! Enjoy your 30 second celebratory screams, friends - heaven knows this year has earned them 🙃

Couple of highlights from this week’s food: a carrot pie from B Dylan Hollis, and a pasta con ricotta (with brocc) from David Rocco. Both delightful, will absolutely make both again!

Hive Moderation or no, they feel heavily AI. Tristan's out there doing the lord's work on this story. We just cannot accept this kind of practice in our field, or the absurd denials from the person in charge of art approval.

It's late, have a dragon.

Various paintings from the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum

A celebration we can all support, I'm sure.

2003-2025 Fuck 🖕 AI Believe in yourself!

ARCHIVE DIVE back to some pieces from Monuments of the Reikland for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. 5 years ago, though!? Good god, that kind of flew by o.O

OK it's Hallowe'en so let's drop some spooky pictures :D We'll start with the fiery sermon of an Absolvers Chaplain:

Dreadnought! This chap has the loadout I used for my first Dread, waaay back in the late 90s :D

QRP your dark art 🖤

Figures in action! Honestly, these kinds of character pieces are often pretty challenging, but when they come together it's really enjoyable 😀

Quote your art with fire on 🔥
