Size and shape creating some logistical trickiness getting the sides done at the ol’ painting table.

Adding Dunkin’ Affleck to my collab wishlist. Come on, Epic. You seem to need the money.

I only use Amazon for a fairly limited number of things now, so my About You is predictable.

For this app, I paid for a piece of artwork that I redrew in my own needed style. iStock says they don't accept AI, and it's labeled as "Not AI", but this is probably the toughest stuff to tell since it's vector line art and so generic. Who knows! I tried.

First full field test of the app. If it holds up for the full 8 hours it should be submitted this week. Genuinely surprised how well it’s working.

Only a few days to go. I'll be at the Alexandria Art on the Avenue this Saturday, October 3rd!

Tried to estimate what % I let AI handle on different tasks for this app.

I will get at least two days of Red October. And one Kruck game since it’s on Peacock!

Sure, I’ll do the thing and carbon date myself. Why not.

Some things could change after the show but this is locked for next weekend. If it goes well submission will follow shortly after.

Something a little different for finished Friday. I’ll be taking a release candidate for this app to Alexandria next weekend. Some design process images of the primary screen.

I built an interactive piece on this before and made sure the default spring/winter views focused on the tilt's orientation.

IG has the good stuff for the wood pieces. www.instagram.com/16bit_irl Pokopia broke the poke-dam on and he’s gone deep into their names, skills, etc so I’m switching it up and he’s getting a life size ditto this year.

Oh he just did most of the N64 Kirby Crystal Shards thing. He’s tried every Kirby he’s been able to. I’ve made him a Kirby piece every Christmas for the last 4 years. Now he’s asking for characters I’ve never heard of.

WIP Monday! I don’t usually do 1/4 inch trim for a Halloween piece but I doubt I ever do Wart again, unlike Rosalina, so I’m letting it rip. #pixelart #wood

Fake robotic mower. Scale and design changes almost every shot. Some of them have started turning off comments since the AI is easily called out.

Since I’ve had no real shows since August I’ve been using kid baseball games as fake shows to field test. Batters are recorded as visitors, one color for home, one color for away, and hits are logged as sales.

James Miller @16bitirl.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
I still think about this one.

Ready to reveal that I've been working on a mobile app to help log visitors and sales through these art shows and events. If you have any upcoming fall shows and would like to BETA test, give me a DM!

My mom has my grandfather’s old scroll saw with custom-made base. Probably hasn’t been used in 20+ years. Decided to give it a spin.

I can’t choose which Simpsons screenshot is funnier to go with this so take them all.

Good example of the trim bits. The eye, the underpants, the shoulder, the elbow, two light blue helmet pieces. Gives it that extra bit of 🤌

James Miller @16bitirl.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Nah, the little pieces really make it nice. 🙂 The bits at the bottom right are everything I'd add if I made one to bring to MAGFest or something.

As soon as I saw her sprite in the movie, I knew she was going to be added. I had to edit to match the others, though. She was meant to match the NPC Peach. I trimmed the face a little, moved some dress pixels front to back to make her more 3/4 profile, and shrunk the scale 80% to match in size.
