Hi! I'm Ness! I carve block prints and stamps! Here's some of them!
A block printed image inspired by medieval alchemy scrolls. On top is a banner that reads "Just do whatever." Beneath the banner is a sun and moon motif overlapping with a dragon serpent. The serpent is biting its own tail, which drips blood onto the final element, an egg with the head of a hen and a rooster emerging from inside. On the left and right is a fleur de lis motif. A block print based on the Animorphs cover showing a human child transforming into a tiger, in 5 stages. A block print of Charizard, based on the original Charizard pokemon card. There is a small Charmeleon in one corner and an "edition 1" mark in another. Charizard is blowing fire and surrounded by sparkles. Fifteen different designs of pink rubber stamps with wine cork backs. From left to right, top to bottom: an onion, a scallion, a bug, a cat with a heart, a snail, a leek, a mushroom, a banana, a mouse, a bird, a sword, moon phases, the Trans icon with majesty, a dandelion, and a cat smoking a cigarette

This ruled, I was so entranced by the world building that I didnt even realize I was almost done with this until I ran out of ebook pages, Breath of the Wild and WoW vibes with a crunchy person-eating leading man you just have to root for

Dark horse last minute BOTY contender, made me cry 3 times and the author made sure my whole book club got a bunch of special goodies. Totally infatuated with this universe and cannot wait for what's next. Go buy it right now!

Doll's eyes
A yellow and white cat splays on the floor with his arms sticking out in different directions. The low light makes his eyes look totally black.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Out of interest, here are examples of the disasters you get if you try to swap skins between Arathi and Amani lynxes, no matter how similar the two models appear.
Front-on view of the brown Amani texture on the Arathi lynx model. The body mostly looks right, but the face is very messed up, especially the ear textures are whack and the eye sockets are in the wrong place. Front-on view of the red Arathi texture on the Amani lynx model. The body mostly looks right, but the face is very messed up, especially the ear and mane textures are whack the eye sockets are too wide, and the nose appears wide and looks like it's made of putty.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

A blue ink sketch on lined paper of Nightmare from Soul Calibur 2, wielding Soul Edge. Nightmare is a spooky knight with a monster arm; Soul Edge is a big sword with a yucky eyeball.

Happy Monday!

Here’s an ancient amber bear carved about 10,000 years ago!

This magical find washed up on a beach at Fanø in Denmark from a submerged Mesolithic settlement under the North Sea.

National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen. 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a small figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Mesolithic period. The bear is seen in profile facing right. The legs are incomplete. The ears, muzzle and mouth are defined. The figurine is displayed on a small metal stand. The display lighting shining on the bear’s head and neck enhances the translucence of the orange coloured amber.
