It’s my birthday! Which isn’t super exciting but what would be is if you RT my art around today to celebrate. I’d appreciate it and maybe someone looking to hire an artist could find me!

Digital painting of Captain Sisko of Star Trek Deep Space Nine as the 1950’s science fiction writer Benny Russell, with the ghostly presence of the actual Sisko hovering contemplating over his shoulder. Russell wears a fedora, gold rimmed glasses, and a suit and tie and has a look of disbelief on his face. His right glasses lense has the reflection of the space station Deep Space Nine covering it. Digital illustration combining Nickelodeon’s Doug with Kentaro Miura’s Berserk. The Berserk logo has been over-written with the Doug logo as if the red kanji text translates to “Doug.” Doug Funnie is partially dressed as Guts and carries his massive demon slayer sword in the foreground while the Band of the Hawk in the mid ground is represented by the fictional band The Beets. In the back ground Skeeter Valentine, dressed as Griffith, looks into the distance with a blank smile while Patti Mayonnaise, dressed as Casca, looks contemplative and distant behind him. Rolling clouds lead into the sunset in the far distance. Digital portrait of Elden Ring character Malenia, Blade of Miquella. She is touching a digitized butterfly from the Kirby series of video games because that’s what the client wanted and I did it even though it’s kinda made this portrait not of the zeitgeist but whatever. The touch of the butterfly is digitizing Malenia, her lower half already transforming into broken apart glowing pixels. She wears a golden prosthetic arm and golden winged valkyrie’s helm, dark red cloak with a furred neckline, and a series of overlapping robes with golden accessories. What can be seen of her right arm is rotted into an indiscriminate inhuman tone. Her red hair is flowing from beneath her helmet, framing her body on either side. Digital painting of a fish-eye lens view of Mario from Super Mario Odyssey wearing his original NES-era color scheme outfit and riding a Vespa with his head tilted up toward the viewer and a big smile on his face. He’s pulled up to the curve parking on a city street marked with several decals. An iPhone text bubble below reads “this ur uber am outside” as if Mario is texting you himself.

@jeffpennington.art youtu.be/IwtKvhBTAi8?... this is expensive. But it might spark some creativity for you, maybe you could use this or a cheaper model of it down the line to print merch or commissions on a variety of canvases. Saw this randomly and wish I had a use for one lol.

@jonjagger.bsky.social there is a co op mode in DK Bonanza that will stream a version to a switch 1 and they will control Pauline so you and your son can play together.

@jeffpennington.bsky.social I went to my local target and they had a switch 2 kiosk with the DK demo, might want to check around your area. It's pretty great, but that TV is way too big for how close you have to be to it.

THIS IS A PAINTING THAT I MADE! Not a photo. Zoom in!

And honestly it's the best painting I've ever done imo. My Picard and Sisko used to rule the roost for me until Quark's terrible gaudy jacket came alone. PHEW.

Episode art for the podcast ep M-Class Podcast: Little Green Men (DS9) painted by Jeff Pennington. In the style of a classic 1950's era invasion sci-fi movie it depicts Quark, a Ferengi and the main character of the episode, wearing an ornate coat with a high collar and pointing his finger "death ray" at Nurse Garland, a 1947 military nurse, who looks terrified. Both are lit from the right by a spotlight and from the left by more naturalistic lighting. The title "LITTLE GREEN MEN" is displayed at the left, with a much smaller "M-Class Podcast presents" above it in the top left corner. The logo is emanating from a green glowing Earth and a small, classically depicted UFO floats above it. A set of movie poster credits appears in the bottom right corner identifying the main characters, theirs actors, as well as the writers and director of the piece. A small inclusion at the end of the credits lists Jeff Pennington as the artist. A small original Paramount Pictures logo is embossed in the top right corner. The entire piece is covered in tiny, nearly imperceptible printing dots.

They have birthday messages in the Nintendo Today app. Maybe it's not that bad.

Rest in peace David Lynch. He made some of my favorite films, and my favorite show. Expanded my world view, and taught me to see things in a different light. I'm going to miss him.

Switch 2 is finally revealed. I like the design overall, joycon being a bit bigger is great, and it has an actual stand now. Was really hoping they would show off some more games, or said anything new about the hardware itself to quell the rumor mills. Gonna be a long few months until the direct.

Happy New Year! #SuperMario #art

I’m personally terrified.
A little digital doodle of Mario, titular character of the Super Mario series, sitting on top of one of those background hills with eyes from Super Mario World and staring up into the sky wistfully with one hand shielding his eyes from the flashes of fireworks and one leg crossed over the other. The numbers “2025” float amongst the popping simplified fireworks in the lit portion of the sky. Scribbly darkness is pushed to the edges of the image by the brightness in the center, hiding two more of those World hills, one of which has a little criss-cross of bandages on its head.

@mossmouth.bsky.social the Spelunky Secret Level was amazing. It's so awesome to see your game in such a cool series. The story was very touching and something I'll try to carry with me when life feels like it's the same day after day.

@mclasspodcast.bsky.social I just watched the newest episode of Lower Decks. I'm so excited to see how they end the show now, but also so sad that its ending. This series does fan service in the most perfect way, while also giving you new characters that you love. Paramount is awful for canceling it

Does anyone have any pokemon TCG pocket head cannon yet? I'm convinced that picking the same spot you saw the card in in wonder pick has a higher likelihood than being purely random.
