It's #portfolioday and while I've made so many different animals, lions and tigers and bears oh my! I'm proud of most of them, but I personally love to showcase my rendition of the species that you don't see as often in suits!

Ever wanted a PicoGUS or PicoMEM but for PCMCIA? @yyzkevin.com's PicoPCMCIA adds modern WiFi networking, Sound Blaster, GUS, CD-ROM, and storage to any computer with a PCMCIA slot. He's getting closer to launch and is now taking deposits for the first run of cards. www.yyzkevin.com/picopcmcia/
A PCMCIA card with a label saying "YYZ Credit Card Adapter for Everything" in the style of the PCMCIA cards that IBM made back in the 90s. A small wifi antenna, SD card slot, and dongle connector are on the card's edge.

Got a new answering machine. The Western Electric model 1-B from 1955. Still had the original outgoing announcement. Sadly no incoming messages though. Its all tube and has a tone wheel like a B-3 organ for the beep.

And a release!

A non working ADM3a followed me home today. it's in great shape and no signs of cataracts appearing on the CRT. Dates from very late 1979/early 1980.

Some initial diagnoses found that the power switch is bad. Plasticizer leaching from the power cord has rendered the switch inoperable
ADM3a dumb terminal, a curvy light blue case with a dark blue bottom half. A monochrome CRT and keyboard contained within. Inside of the switch showing the two contacts and the two springs used to slide them Bottom of the switch showing some of the leached plasticizer goop around one of the terminals, more had gotten inside Switch reading open circuit in the closed position. Multimeter connected across one set of switch contacts inside the adm3a.

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

ko-fi.com/telekitnetic...

RBs on this post are really appreciated <3
A drawing of TeleKitnetic's fursona making the shinji chair meme post. The top text reads "I got laid off from my day job", the bottom text simply reads "Bottom text". "After my final shift for the week last Thursday, my boss pulled me aside and told me I'd been let go (termination without cause) with severance in lieu of a two week notice. That day job paid for all of my rent, plus most of my expenses. The severance I got will cover most of my rent + expenses for one month, but that's it. And it's a very difficult time to be looking for a job right now (my last big job hunt took almost three months for a minimum wage position). My family has offered to lend me a hand for expenses if I need it, and I'm going to be looking into options like EI and art grants to keep me afloat, but other then that, my monthly income is now almost entirely dependent on my artwork. And it's obviously a very difficult time to be trying to make a living as an independent artist right now." I know it's a pretty rough time (understatement) for a lot of folks right now, but if you're able to give some money to help me out while I'm trying to get through this rut, it'd be greatly appreciated. 1. I have a monthly ko-fi membership (Tip Jar) where you can get occasional private WIP updates for as low as 4$ CAD (about 3$ USD) per month! This is great if you don't have the change for a commission or shop items/shipping but want to pitch in a little bit to me! 2. I have an online shop on the same ko-fi! It has stickers, prints, pins, and keychains of my formline art. US shipping is available and prepaid duties (tariffs, derogatory) are factored into the applicable product shipping cost. Great if you're looking for stocking stuffers this holiday season! 3. I take custom commissions for formline art from time to time! The reason I list this last is because comms take the most physical and mental strain of all these options, and the last thing I want to do is burn myself out when I'm already struggling. If you can't support me financially, that is fine! Reblogging/sharing my posts, shop listings, and art helps more then you think! A screenshot of TeleKitnetic's ko-fi shop.

Man, first roll of slide film shot and developed and I want to shoot more. Seeing the positive on the film really is magical.

Still slowly moving in, but got enough for listening to some music. Listening to @emptysetart.bsky.social 's Sentinece through. Really liking the sound of the Realistic Mach One speakers I got.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

Well, @lonetiggs.bsky.social and I completed the Mutt Strut and raised over $1,100 in the process for GEARS! Thanks to the tiger for making sure I didn't get lost this year! And, thank you to everyone who donated to the cause!
