For Valentine’s Day I made this little bird sculpture for my wife. Resin 3D printed body and brass legs. It’s based on some vintage Scandinavian birds she’s been eying.

'Face of the Moon.' (1797) John Russell was the finest British pastel artist of his time. One of his sitters, the astronomer William Herschel encouraged him to buy a telescope, and with this he produced a number of remarkable pastel drawings of the moon.

I just learned about this from the Spooky Lakes book by @geodesaurus.bsky.social. It’s awesome and full of great art!
Lake Kaindy is a valley lake made by flooding in Kazakhstan, whose water is so cold that it preserved the spruce trees that grew in the valley for over 100 years. Underworld environmental design drop for you!

I saw a social media post saying that the earliest dragon in film history was from the 1920s, and maybe that’s true for live action, but here’s a dragon photobombing Gertie the Dinosaur in 1914 #filmhistory

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

Adorbs!
7 years ago, I lost my damn mind and made my son a #Dinobed.

He was about 6 and was ready for a "big boy" bed. This was my original sketch. Plywood dinos on each side so he won't roll out and he gets to sleep between the fight.
