I spoiled myself in the weekend by buying myself a new fountain pen.
Now I just need an excuse to write something, and for my hand to stop being inexplicably shaky...
Please give me an excuse to use my pen. What should I write with it?

A photo with a mobile phone from a moving car last week, so certainly not the most focused or best-framed one, but I thought anyone who enjoys wires might enjoy it.
I don't know why I enjoy looking at powerlines. I think it's the same part of me that finds a […]

A glowing sunset, where the sun has just set and the sky is lit up with its "embers". There's a road, three big pylons with wires headed off in different directions. There's also a large arch-like structure called at Ländisalmi bowing next to the road.

Jussi was happy outside in -7 but when it became -18.5°C he thought that was a bit excessive.
I learned that my camera wasn't a fan of -5 either, so when I a few days later went to photograph the frozen nature, I kept it snug and warm between photos.

A fluffy black and white tuxedo cat with a crooked "mustache" because of his white coloring on an otherwise black face, standing in paw-deep snow, pondering. A path leading into a forest, next to which an old sauna building stands. Everything is covered in white frost and snow.

Happy new year!
A photo from yesterday to celebrate.
The dried husk of a plant that grows by the field. It's spreading out from the stem, similar to fireworks.

Some #architecturaldetails from #helsinki
A black and white photo of the "Torni" building in Helsinki. The architectural style looks art deco, with soft curves and stylized metal gates. A black and white photo of the entrance of a stone building, with an elaborate metal gate with floral elements, and floral sculpting above. A more modern simplistic apartment building, with a yellow neon sign saying "yes" in a script-like font.

I can't help thinking this one might make a nice linocut or drawing.

A tuxedo cat sits in front of an antique stove, with dish towels hanging behind his head. One of them has fish on it and kind of looks like a medieval fish banner for cats.

Today, one of my favorite musical artists from my childhood passed away.
That's Chris Rea.
"God's Great Banana Skin" was the very first album that I picked out by my very self. I didn't realize how much it affected me until I listened to it again many years later and felt how many of the lessons […]

I made 3 of my nephews one #junkjournal each, made from a Lego #batman box, paper bags, magazine pages, and other random scraps of paper including gelli print experiments.
I hope they will use them. I'll try to explain to them they can do what they want: glue […]

Two photos. The top one shows three almost square books standing side-by-side. One cover shows the Batman logo, one shows a Lego landscape of Joker's theme park, and one shows the Animated Series logo with the text Gotham City. The lower photo is one book opened to show a random gelli printed page.

Achievement unlocked.
I put so many googly eyes all over my parents' house over the years that now they actually like them and wanted me to put more.

I made my parents' neighbors a Christmas card this year too. This is her cat. I hope she'll like it.
So, happy holidays to everyone, whatever you may be celebrating, wherever you may be.

I pimped my ride. (I.e. laptop).
I still have room for some stickers.
The "Spinner" sticker near the middle was my own home made experiment, trying to replicate a Spinner emblem from Blade Runner. The rest, bought or gifted.

I confess I have not mastered the […]

A closed laptop lid on which there are several stickers. An elk in the snow, by John Bauer. Hugo Simberg's "In the garden of Death" depicting a skeleton tending their flowerpots and enjoying blue flowers. The Laughing Man logo from Ghost in the Shell. An origami unicorn, inspired by blade runner. A muscular, tattooed seagull with a flat cap by Valpuri Kerttula. The Spinner emblem. A somewhat wild and fluffy cat head. A toad in a mossy cup.

#tuesdaytiger #socialartwork
A detailed pencil and colored pencil drawing depicts a tiger driving a hot rod. The tiger is positioned low in the vehicle, with a red suit and white trim resembling a Santa Claus outfit, complete with a hat. The hot rod is a classic design with large wheels, a prominent engine, and exhaust pipes emitting flames and smoke. The drawing is sketched with dynamic lines suggesting speed and movement, and the surrounding ground is blurred to further emphasize this effect. Smoke is trailing behind the car as it drives forward. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Gemma3:27b

Pardon my silence. Things have been super busy here.
My apartment has been leaking from about 4 locations, I've been drowning in work, and I'm still trying to prepare little gifts for friends and family.
I've been working on making stickers! So far, I've got Moominzilla, Jussi-cat, a snail, and […]

Don't read this if you're getting a gift from me!
The whole gang is ready. (Gifts for friends and family). But the rat has asked for a vest because he wants to look more dapper, and the cats have all asked for comfortable travel pouches or boxes. You know, as […]

Four small needle-felted cats and a life size very happy rat, sitting on a bookshelf in front of some books. All the cats are different tuxedo cats with green eyes, except for one who is all black except for a little patch white on the chest. The cats are so small you could fit 3-4 in the palm of your hand.

Hopefully no one who is about to get a Christmas present from me follows me... (Also, a bit sad that they don't, but that's OK. Now it's an advantage.)
Here are some gifts I've been working on.

- A very fluffy Jussi with crazy whiskers and eyebrows and a […]

A collage of 5 photos, showing a comparison between the actual cats and the needle felted replicas. (Except the rat, which is from my mind.) The felted animals are a bit chibi and not in a realistic style. The cats are tuxedo cats, and the rat is grey with a cream belly and happy smile.

[Artistic nudity]

I was a bit confused if I should tag this as having artistic nudity, since if you're made of bark and wood and don't have "bits" does it really count as nudity? But I guess I'll mark it just in case...
Today's #ddnd prompt was fey. I chose […]

Landshark

#ddnd #socialartwork
A detailed, graphite and colored pencil drawing depicts a fantastical creature with mammalian and reptilian features, in fact it is a shark, but living and digging in the soil. The creature is standing on two legs with large, clawed feet and has a hunched posture. Its face has a short snout, large, round eyes, and a visible set of teeth. It has small arms with clawed hands and a long, curved tail. The drawing is done in a realistic style with a lot of shading and detail, and there appears to be a signature in the bottom left corner.

In the past week, I built these two Studio #ghibli #sankei #papercraft #miniature diorama kits. One is from Spirited Away, and the other is from My Neighbor Totoro.
I'm grateful to have had the chance to pick these kits up in Japan in the spring. I was saving […]
