I previously had my Mastodon account bridged to this platform, but thought I'd give hanging out here a shot, as opposed to having my posts mirrored.

About me: I like to draw on paper, I live on a sailboat in the Salish Sea, I love seabirds, making comics, and fermenting vegetables.
a sketchbook open to a page filled with panels for a comic. The art is drawn using pencils and a ballpoint pen, and featured two pointy-eared characters walking through the woods. a sketchbook page showing illustrated sea birds having a conversation using the phonetic alphabet. a self-published book named Wiktopher, the cover features a giant, long legged creature walking in the desert on all fours. A small sailboat(sandfin) is sailing in the sand, going in the opposite direction.

One of my goals for 2026 is to draw more comics :>! My aim now is to finish a short sequence I started last year.

It's DONE! I drew 100 rabbits!

Thank you to everyone who followed along with this series. It was a very fun way to celebrate my studio Hundredrabbits's 10 year anniversary ^^!

@nicholaskole.bsky.social Hello from Vancouver Island! ^^!

I am floored by your work. I aspire to this level of finish and expressiveness in my character art. I'm also messaging you also to say that I think your partner's site is down(after following the link from your website) :O!

Cheers!

The will to move, does not always come. Sprout rabbit is not finding the motivation right now.

There was once a shinigami rabbit named Ryuk, who thought that the human world was a very boring place.

Ryuk has a hawk made up of thick strands with black tips, they have thick eye makeup and dark lips. They are wearing dark clothes with frills at the neck and waist. Ryuk is sort of floating middair, grinning, while holding apple.

I can't wait for logos to become less abstract and more defined again.

That first Waterfox logo is dope.

I daresay, this has got to be my most flattering self-portrait.
someone is in the cockpit of a sailboat holding a pamplemousse up to their head, so that the fruit covers most of it.

My partner & I finished The Neverhood recently. It is such a strange, and wonderfully unapologetic game. The puzzles are not instictive, they are tedious as hell at times(u have to walk through 39 rooms full of game lore to get a single puzzle piece), but it is damn great, and funny.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Made some sauerkraut yesterday ^^. I've been working a lot of late, so it was nice to spend an afternoon chopping and processing cabbage~

I also updated my page on lactofermentation(mainly the "jars" section):

easy to feel demoralised seeing all these game company CEOs talking about genAI but remember a bunch of rich people will lose a lot if we don’t suddenly develop an unquenchable appetite for slop so they’re actually the ones on the back foot and have every incentive to lie about everything
