I recently bought a used Gameboy Classic and a Gameboy Camera, and I'm happy to report that the resulting photos look like complete and utter shit.

Couldn't love it more.
A very grainy, very low-resolution selfie I took with my Gameboy Camera.

A friend and I are playing Chiron‘s Doom asynchronously over Git. A collaborative roleplaying game.
We’re having an absolute blast, and it reminded me of how much I enjoy writing.
Highly recommend chucking ten bucks at Nick Bate and trying it out.

Chiron's Doom by Nick Bate
A mysterious monument. An ill-fated expedition. A storytelling game for 1-3 explorers.

Apparently, it's just straight up normal that house listings in Germany now have AI generated images of the rooms if the current furniture in it is not sexy enough (look at the window).
Drives me crazy.
An AI generated image of a soulless bedroom made for a real estate listing. The window looks all fucky.

Unfortunate place to make a typo.
A supermarket display of cookies, labeled "cockies".

Weird question, but does somebody have a Gumroad / Etsy / something with an adult coloring book (not, like, naughty. You know what I mean.) that I could buy and print pages from?
All I can find is AI slop.

Boy #1 and I are at the point where our Lego sets are not *entirely* trivial anymore.
A Lego instruction manual and the corresponding model, currently being built. Model number 42163.

Hoo boy, it's #NewInkDay!
After some fuckery with customs, here is:
- Esterbrook x The CoffeeMonsterzCo - Forgotten Iced Coffee
- Robert Oster Signature - Fire

I'm especially obsessed with the Estie ink, it dries to a stunning color. Well worth the money!
A fountain pen and two ink swatch cards lie on a notebook. The top ink swatch is a cool-toned brown labeled "Esterbrook x TheCoffeeMonsterzCo - Forgotten Iced Coffee". The bottom swatch is a vibrant orange-yellow labeled "Robert Oster Signature - Element Fire." A brass Traveler's Company clip and yellow date tabs are also visible.

A cute hand-drawn illustration of anthropomorphic sushi with smiling faces. One sushi roll is being lifted by chopsticks, saying 'Wheee!'. It looks super fun. Other sushi rolls smile happily beside a bowl of soy sauce. Colored pencils and a black pen are placed on the wooden table above the drawing.

People harp on Benchmade's quality control all the time—and sometimes rightfully so—but my Bugout just inadvertently went through the laundry and is no worse for wear.

My new hairdresser just earned a customer for life by saying my hair is "giving a little Faramir".

My entry for @trueref.bsky.social ‘s monthly challenge! “Dial-up Aria” (did anyone else used to sing along with the dial-up noises?)

A woman in a pink jumpsuit floats before a tower covered in chaotic cables, her arms raised in a majestic pose. She has a teal iMac G3 computer for a head, and some pixellated aether streams out of her speakers. Behind her are city lights.

A goat creature with three horns, one eye, and a forked tongue hanging out. It has a ceremonial looking single bladed axe between its front hooves. The beast is wrapped in a banner going around three times. What emerges below the banner is just a mass of tentacles. The banner reads, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’

A hand-drawn illustration of a cute pirate skull with a stitched brown eyepatch and blushing pink cheeks, placed in front of two crossed wooden swords. The skull has large black eye sockets and a rounded, cartoonish shape. The swords are stylized with swirly details and visible wood grain.

Without a joke, one of the things I love about being able to draw is banging out little sketches for my kid's lunchbox.
A hand-drawn cartoon of Mo Willems' "Pigeon"shown on an index card. The pigeon has a hopeful expression and is holding up one wing. A speech bubble reads, “Can I have your PB&J? ...please?” Above the pigeon’s head is a thought bubble containing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich surrounded by little pink hearts.

I must not sit down. Sitting down is the ADHD killer. Sitting down is the task-death that brings total obliteration.

✨ quote repost with your art that has stars ✨
My artwork for the NoSleep story “Sunburn”. In the center, a silhouetted human figure glows with swirling cosmic colors, a quasar glowing bright at its chest, and arms extended. On the left side of the poster, an ornate dagger appears. On the right side, a red bowl hovers.

I have rejection sensitivity, so I started a folder on my PC called “Nice Things,” where I keep screenshots of compliments, good-news emails, fanart of my OCs others made, etc. So now when my imposter syndrome brain tells me I’m Bad at Art, I can pull up evidence to the contrary. ☺️

I have an appointment at the hospital on Friday to discuss the details of an upcoming surgery (don’t worry, I’m physically fine).

I am terrified of this appointment. Usually, I am absolutely stoic on medical topics like this, but this particular one freaks me the hell out.

Hey everyone!!!

I know I am so, so late on this, but I am finally doing my 5k and 10k art raffles!!

To enter the raffle, please follow, like, and RT!!! 💚
Photo of seven of my art prints on a wood drafting table, attempting to show them all in natural lighting. From left to right: 1) Limited edition embellished print of the King of Wands, done for Corrupted Tarot. It features A young man with red hair and a crown sits in a dilapidated throne room on a throne made of stone and human bones. Mosses and mushrooms overgrow everything, including his staff. He sits in the ashes of his glory, his eyes glowing resentfully like dying coals in a fire. A raven lands on his stave, mocking him. 2) Print of Reclamation III, with silver foil embellishments of the mushrooms. This print is of A portrait of a pale young woman with white hair and closed eyes. Lunar moths fly around her, and mushrooms grow out of her upper chest, left eye, and right brow bone. 3) Dying for a Cup of Tea poster print with gold embellishments. It features A black and white painting of a skeleton with a Victorian-style updo and dress. She is holding a cup of tea, from which steam swirls back and around to frame the head. The text says: “Dying for a cup of tea.” 4) "I Didn't Bother about the Meat" print, with gold embellishments. It's of That Scene in Harrow the Ninth with Harrow and Ianthe. 5) The Mad Priestess print, featuring A sorceress with long black hair and holding a magical spear summons Cthulhu, while an ancient temple crumbles around her. 6) Art print of work done for Haunt Publishing's Unthinkable: A Queer Gothic Anthology. It is of a night sky with a downward-pointing crescent moon, a skull sits on an overgrown tree stump. Bits of wood form a crescent moon shape behind it. A dagger is stuck in the top of the skull, with a pommel stone reflecting light, which forms a circular pattern with a rainbow overlaid. 7) Print for "Unmasked", featuring silver eye embellishments. A figure in an old-fashioned dress holds their own head in their hands, as though they had just removed it. A creature made of black smoke is climbing up out of their neck.

Showed my son an episode of The Jetsons today, and it’s still one of my favorite things to see sci-fi becoming outdated.
