'tis the season to remind folks that I made a small Halloween RPG for Game Boy a few years ago, and you can play it for FREE. 🎃 Can you save the pumpkins? Play on a real Game Boy with the included .gb rom, or play it right on your PC or smartphone. alliemackie.itch.io/hauntsfield

Any artist (especially digital artists) who have existed on the internet for any length of time know how absurd this is Not to mention she was one of the first artists genAI dips proudly stated they scraped without consent. Her art was stolen for AI use.

A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Yesterday I hiked a bucket list trail for me, the Top of the Giant in Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. 22km and over 900 feet of elevation. I am absolutely knackered even a day later, but wow was it ever worth it. The views from the Gorge Lookout are unlike anything I've ever experienced.

"While poorly suited for most caravans, #Ankylosaurus excel at many things including beekeeping. Their slow walking speed means that most bees tend to ignore them as part of the landscape and the few who don't are unable to both them through their thick, armor plated skin." #paleoart #dinosaur

"River markets are the best places to acquire fresch caught fish directly from the anglers themselves, and are usually where you can get the best deals as well. Experienced traders know which vendors they can haggle down, and which are best to just buy at the asking price." #spinosaurus #paleoart

When folks talk about older paleoart, I don't hear Graham Rosewarne mentioned often but I think he's my fave. Very shrinkwrapped, very stippled. 😂 I grew up on the Dinosaurs! magazines and thus saw a lot of his work, namely spot pieces. I spent many hours as a kid tracing/copying his work.

Sam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance

Seeing Jurassic park at age 10 and having the same reaction to the brachiosaurus in my theatre seat as Sam Neill's pull-off-sunglasses amazement has remained deep in my core memory bank for my entire life. RIP to a legend.
