Hi! I'm an individual from Stockholm, Sweden, who likes a lot of things but especially horror, games, deep sea, fantasy, arts & crafts.
I mainly do digital drawings but also, since autumn last year, stoneware clay sculpting. I dabble in other things as well every now and then.

We live in a capitalist world, where everything seem to have a price. It's just normal, it is what it is. (for now)
So why is it still so difficult, as a creative individual, to put a price on stuff you've made?

Feel like there are more people - myself included - who could use a potoo break.
Ugh too mad to work. I’m taking a potoo break.

Listening to the soundtrack of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" and wondering when humans, as a species, first began to whistle. I don't think I'd be surprised if it would turn out to predate spoken language.

Now I kinda want to see a mug where all the active work (everything except drying and firing) was done all together in under 5mins.
Throwing it would take far too long. But if I took a piece of clay and immediately bashed it around my fist to make the shape, pinched one side to make a handle...

Ok, so I am probably, actually depressed right now. As in, things take more time and effort to get done and I get less dopamin for it. I still have things I really want to do but somehow getting myself to do it is like a chore. The combination of "I want" and "there's no point" is quite weird.

A spider had moved into my clay overnight! Photos has been taken. Now I have to figure out where to move her to.

It's how they both look so old, and so artsy, while also looking so goofy and cartoonish. I love them.
Something lovely to start the week! 🐙🏺❤️

Has a women-centric brand ever tried to appeal to men and in that case what did it look like?
This is like Smurfette syndrome and it keeps happening. Just slap some sex appeal and/or cutesy wutsey uwu on it and call it "for the ladies".
And yes, Kaseys version would probably be more successful.

If they really wanted to appeal to women they should have made a drink called Monster Fucker.

Managed to get myself to the ceramics studio today. Glazed up some stuff. Re-glazed some that needed it.
Once I'm there and in the zone, it's easy to go on for hours. As usual, it's the "getting there" that's hard. But everyone already knows that.

Just realized - and this is truly groundbreaking - that the "that's just ten minutes I got time for that" only needs to be repeated six times to be an hour.
Also, apropos of nothing, it's already getting dark.

Wanted to make a snow build in modded Minecraft, but then I realized I could pick ANY biome to make a single biome world out of. So now I'm wondering which one would be the most insane/interesting.
Deep dark... Jagged peaks... Infernal dunes... Toxic heap...

I'm out of leather cord to mount my clay pendants. The five empty spools (of which one is repurposed with thread) were all 22,5m. So I've used more than 100m of leather cord. With 1m per pendant that tells me I now have more than 100 pendants ready. That's both very many and not very many at all.

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

They could make a movie that happens before that one. They could even let him almost explode and comment on how it would have been a stupid way to die or something. Or maybe a close call followed by a "one day it'll get you, you know" from someone else. Like foreshadowing or something.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Ok, I have a language problem here. A Swedish to English translation problem. Or, there's a word I need in English but I don't know if there is one. It's about nuances but it's IMPORTANT nuances.
In Swedish we have the word "lek". It's usually translated to "play" or "child's play". However...
