This gif comes from the movie Jeremiah Johnson from 1972, directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford (and not Zach Galifinakis). It's a biopic of a fellow named John Jeremiah Johnson, also known as Liver-Eatin' Johnson

Commission of a Hundjäger from Grimm - every one was rather different looking so I tried to go for the general look.

A billowing cluster of wind-swept clouds arches above an Oregon landscape. A winding river runs through the fields, reflecting the clouds above.

Lots of evolution in this construction! Dual petg and LW-PLA 3dprint for strength and weight in the perfect balance which worked really nicely. New systems for ears and eyes too and minor updates in other areas, such as a jaw stop to avoid scratching paint on the teeth.

Sketch vs. Final

Not my sketch - this is what the author provided for the book cover. Even the most basic sketch can help!

Today marks the birth and passing of the late great Koichi Kawakita, who directed the incredible special effects of my favorite Godzilla movie.

When I painted this piece in 2017, I added the rose covered landscape (based on a deleted scene) as a tribute to him.

Marcel has been hard at work fighting the tree and causing general mayhem during his first Christmas (which is his job as a kitten, of course). In case you haven't heard, I am running a fundraiser for our local animal shelter right now - please consider donating if you can! givebutter.com/n5l31M

One of my favorite things is that the meme of Robert Redford nodding is from a movie that's a cleaned up biopic of a cannibal vigilante

Really enjoyed the Bob's Burgers episode with Linus the lizard - I appreciate instead of a generic made-up lizard they actually used a real lizard that would live in the area. I used to see them once in a while when I lived in upstate NY!

Hey Bluesky! I’m finally showing up to introduce myself. My name is Christopher (Black) Meddle and I’m a junior tattooist out of Jackson, Michigan at the Karmaknife tattoo art collective! I’ve only been tattooing 19 months, practicing most with large blackwork ink! *waves frantically and awkward*

Today I came across @ivanamato.bsky.social's account. Ivan is a crystal photomicrographer, and his page is full of amazing photos like this, that currently have no interactions beyond mine. I also really like the descriptions, and the size comparisons given in many of them. Go check them out!

Assuaging Pain. An acetaminophen/codeine pill. DIY 75% ethanol as a solvent for the analgesics and other soluble components of the pill. This is a speck-sized patch of the microscope slide on which I recrystallized the pharma chems. Looks to me like a waterfall lit with dappled sunlight.
