I made a digital mock up of my next Risopost postcard because the riso broke before i could print it. Now I'm waiting on a tiny plastic replacement part. www.patreon.com/risopost

digital mockup of a Risograph printed illustration. The illustrations is of 2 California Quail hiding behind some Matilija Poppy flowers. The flowers kind of look like fried egg.

Thank you! I drew these years ago and really enjoyed working on them. I used to draw so many maps, but I kind of got burnt out. However, lately I've been wanting to draw more!

Happy Birthday, Swords Without Master! Our latest Kickstarter update celebrates that, includes previews of the incredible glyphs @elemei.bsky.social is finishing up, and showcases a titanic creature to explore through two maps from @arlinortiz.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

Preview image titled Master Selu Fyrmyor's Pilfered Charts of the Knowable World, featuring two tarot-sized maps by Arlin Ortiz. On the left, a landscape with story-book style forests and houses leads to a mountain range dominated by a large domed shape with a gem like a cyclops eye. On the right, that shape is revealed to be the head of a gargantuan creature floating in the night sky, with cavities in it's body holding and referencing the elements that poke through to the surface of the landscape on the left. Also includes smaller preview images of 3 other map cards in the folio set.

Meredith saying something I’ve spent a lot of the last couple years thinking about:

A blog post screen cap that reads:
But GDC took a chunk out of me, too. The expense, the scamminess, the
desperation. I have not quite recovered.
What I've seen makes me want to keep my life small and focused, make work by any means necessary on shoestring budgets and ignore the industry completely. I think for me, for now, that's how it needs to be. It's not like the industry has any answers or knows what is next.
It's not like I see myself in the majority of these quickly-vanishing roles. Maybe my small, focused world is all there ever was.

We were close! but a bot pledged with no reward right when it launched, adjusted it to $200 then canceled right when it was about to reach the goal. They also sent a message that was clearly written by a bot. Oh well! if you want to help stick it to the bots, check out my Kickstarter!
