Hi everyone. I’m an artist/illustrator working primarily in oil and acrylic paint, and I’m also a software engineer interested in game dev and front end.
@nathanhoad.bsky.social told me to sign up so here I am 😸🎨 this is my latest painting, The Emerald City.
Oil painting featuring a futsu pumpkin, green bottle, mirrored bauble, moomin toy holding an Apple, a coloured sand bottle, and marbles, all on top of a wooden Fry’s Cocoa box and behind these items is an open yellow book (The Wizard of Oz) with green page edges. There is a green crocheted blanket with red, white and black trim as the back drop. In front of the Cocoa box is a green striped pumpkin. The painting is on a desk with a full palette and the painting set up behind it.

Did a study in the most embarrassing way possible today

#art #3ds #artacademy #slam #zorn #masterstudy
A hand holding a 3ds with a digital study of an Anders Zorn painting on it. It's cropped in on a lady's face and a bit messy but recognizable as an attempt at the painting seen blurry in the background.

The very big rocket that will be taking four humans on a journey that will be the furthest any humans have journeyed from everything on Earth in 54 years - incl. every living being that we know about, will be rolling out in ~12 hours from now.

It's slow TV.

But with a big rocket. 🚀

Today is a HUGE day for Schrodinger’s Cat Burglar as we reveal
BRAND NEW ART!

Created by Tom Williams, this new key art will see us through launch and beyond 🚀

But why the switch?

I can finally sit at my desk, so today I caught up on most of my emails. I read & signed several different contracts & I feel like I need the PC version of this. @benhoad.net suggests smart cat feeder that checks your progress on a PDF which sounds like something @simonegiertz.bsky.social would make

My shop has finally had a micro update due to someone asking for a print, so there's a couple on there plus some originals. I have more originals IRL, but tbh, don't know if I will list them anytime soon, locals are always welcome to come have a look.

Heatwaves are hitting many Australian regions this week, with multiple days 35ºC (95ºF) to 45ºC+ (113ºF+)🥵

There’s ~250 heat related deaths in Australia annually, more than have died in bushfires in last 10 years combined.

Only time it’s ok to CHEAT😉 is during Heatwaves …1/
Heatwaves Only time it's ok to CHEAT C - Check on neighbours, elderly & young, more susceptible to dehydration and heat. H - Hydrate, plenty of water even if you don't feel thirsty, avoid excessive caffeine & alcohol. E - Environment, as cool as you can i.e. stay in shade, few/loose clothes, close curtains, take cold showers/baths if necessary. A - Aware of risks, signs of heat exhaustion & heat stroke (see link in text with post) Nb: There's ~250 heat related deaths in Australia annually, more than have died in bushfires in the last 10 years combined. T - Take Action - use/visit air-conditioned locations (friends, libraries, shopping centres etc), know when to call for medical help.

In the comments, people note that it’s AI and the poster responds that he just doesn’t care.

That’s an easy block.
