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.

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.

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.

Whee!

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.

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.

✨ 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.

We have upgraded the laundry container.

Me, at the beginning of every Daily Standup:
A photo of my Kindle with a quote from “Last Argument of Kings” by Joe Abercrombie. The quote reads:” Do you have any notion of how tired I am? Of how much I have to do? The agony of getting out of bed each morning leaves me a broken man before the day even begins, and the present moment is an exceptionally stressful one.”

If you see this, post a ghost.
A digital illustration serves as the cover art for “Whitefall: A C.K. Walker Story,” featuring Mick Wingert. The artwork depicts a man in a dark coat and glasses standing in a snowy environment, holding a glowing light in his cupped hands. His breath and the surrounding cold air form swirling smoke that rises into the night sky, taking the shape of ghostly figures—a woman with a serene expression and a helmeted figure. The title “WHITEFALL” is displayed in large, golden letters at the top, with cast and crew credits listed on the left and right sides.

Assuming, of course, that I don't die in the Climate Wars before that.
My pen resting on my notebook with the handwritten note: "Someone told me today that my handwriting looked like it was printed into my notebook, and it would surprise me if I didn't think fondly back on this moment in twenty years."

Swiggity swooty, I'm cautiously approaching that booty.

Posting this photo that a co-worker took of me yesterday for no other reason than that I really like how I look in it.
A photo of me, smiling to the camera. I have shoulder-long hair that I wear open, wearing a colourful collared shirt with birds on it, and blue pants.

Making some progress on the kids‘ room.
An empty room, with freshly painted walls in white and a dark turquoise color. My son is sitting in the middle, playing with his toy vacuum. I out an emoji sticker over his face, because that’s how I roll.
