Two days of marbling and I pulled ~25 sheets on 24x36 in paper. Most will be chopped up (and the wobbly bits ignored) and sent as cards or gifted as sets of blank cards for others to gift. I'm kind of proud of myself after not marbling in years!
Day 2 and I may just never leave the marbling tank

An Irish #painting not of Dublin now. "Blue Mountains, Green Grass I" I painted a long time ago, because I like the shapes our country gives us. A large painting for me (101 cm x 76 cm), it was exhibited in America before going to a good home there. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear
Got into chess earlier this year. After being *terrible* at first, I decided my goal for 2026 was to hit 1000 elo. I'm on the cusp on the two types I play 😅 (not for the first time. I've been above 995 rapid a bunch of times in the past week, and never hit 1k yet 🫠)
When Artemis II was in space I wrote that "it made me wonder how NASA specifically plans for supportive teams and environments." Leave it to @hankgreen.bsky.social to do an interview that touches on it. Savor. Laugh. Curiosity. Operational psychologists. art19.com/shows/humans...

On a career in the arts: "You followed all the rules and did everything right. And it’s not fair that people didn’t explain that this is the kind of job where you can do absolutely everything right and things still might not work out the way people say they will. And that is also not your fault."

Ricky Haggett@rickyhaggett.bsky.social · 2w agoFans of our games may be interested to know that our long-term collaborator Richard Hogg has a new website up at www.h099.com He's done deep-dives into the art direction process for Flock & I Am Dead, as well as tons of assorted visual treats from his past work which should delight true Hoggheads
this weekend i googled horsepower, for reasons. google's ai summary described it as the work it takes for a horse to lift 30,000 pounds this is stupid for a lot of reasons but at least now i have a mental image of a 1 horse lifting 35 average adult horses
Not one of his biggest roles but Aussie movie The Dish (2000) is just perfect Sam Neill

My dearly departed goblin was 90% crime by volume, she pissed on or tried to destroy most things I've cared about. I would have fistfought God to keep her safe.
Frank Conniff@frankconniff.bsky.social · last mo.Many critics I respect didn’t like SUPERGIRL as much as I did, but this review, in a major publication, struck me as nuts: “The film can’t quite articulate why Krypto is so important to Supergirl.” What?!!! IT’S HER FUCKING DOG! Who wouldn’t travel across galaxies for an antidote for their sick pet?

This was commissioned by a trad institution for their anniversary (very cool client tbh) but didn't get used in the end. I especially enjoy the uileann piping eagle, who's pose I had to get the experts to weigh in on
60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".
Mr. Hands is making SuccuDeck 😈🃏@mrhands31.bsky.social · 2mo agoSomeone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖
With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...

The conversation I have had with each of my kids: "if you *ever* run into a problem online and you think you're in trouble, you can *always* come talk to me about it, and if you think I will be upset about a choice you made just start out by saying 'I may need some help.'" And I will take that...

My friend Deepa, an artist in India, is crowdfunding for SatRangaM, India's biggest queer theatre festival. It needs more support to break even when they go on stage later this month with twelve performances, all written and directed/choreographed by queer artists, + workshops & discussions:
Also: if you someone thinks they need AI to make art due to their disability, I would gently suggest that perhaps their idea of what art is & should be is probably rooted in ableism as well. Speaking for myself as a disabled artist who has struggled w losing former modes of expression.
