Pentametron was one of the great web art projects, retweeting couplets of accidentally iambic tweets. Thanks to Bluesky's open feed, I have resurrected the concept..

Behold @iambic.bot!

Toddler diaries from a year ago: duplo on the stairs, the office is a strange place, S.'s top 15 pieces of duplo, and a trip to Manchester

#kidlit #kidlitArt #babyDiaries #toddlerDiaries #sketchbook #sketchbookDiaries #parentingComics #parenting #dailySketchbook #soloMum #soloMumByChoice
Sketches of toddler putting pieces of duplo on the staircase Sketches of my strange office: almost totally empty (apart from two people discussing acciacaturas), most of the food is potatoes, everyone's wearing glitter and flower crows (festival themed sales conference apparently) Sketches of toddler's top 13 pieces of duplo - top 3 are the skateboard, the cat, and the charging cable Sketches from a trip to Manchester - successful first swimming trip, trams, endlessly posable cousins, giant Gruffalo statue

There's a rampart and ditch round the site to keep it safe from enemies, but will it deter the seagulls?

A mischievous little dragon tries to gobble up all the light (אוֹר) in this page from the beautifully decorated Rothschild Mahzor, which was made in Florence in 1490.

Now Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary, NY, MS 8892. (makor.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/view/BookRea...)
A parchment page with two columns of Hebrew text in a semi-cursive hand. On the right of the right-hand column, a green and gold dragon with a long tripartite tail takes up most of the length of the margin. A detail of the previous page, showing a marginal illumination of a green and gold dragon. The dragon's long neck curls around a heading which reads "light" in Hebrew, and its mouth is open as if it intends to swallow the word.

Meet the kākāpō-bear, a strange creature that resembles an owlbear but has the plumage and behavior of a kākāpō! 🦜

🎨 #art #bskyart #owlbear #dnd #dndart #ttrpg #fantasy #characterdesign
A reference sheet for a kākāpō-bear, a hybrid creature based off of the real life kākāpō and a black bear. It is covered mostly in green feathers, with a beige-toned face and underbelly and dark brown markings all over its body. It has large yellow eyes, long black claws, dark brown pawpads, and ear-like tufts on its head. The rest of the reference sheet depicts its herbivorous diet, with a sketch of it climbing a rimu tree and a drawing of a rimu tree fruit.
