I haven't been using Bluesky as much lately (I installed an app that makes me watch a 30 second ad whenever I'm about to doomscroll) but I want to promote my friends' Kickstarter. I've been lucky enough to play versions of this game, and I can tell you that it's a lot of fun even when you lose.

What is the point of these ads? "You can use your iPhone in the rain, but actually, no you can't"?
A large billboard featuring a woman holding an iPhone to take a photo while standing in the rain in front of a soccer net. The text on the ad says "Relax, it's iPhone".The fine print in the upper right corner of the ad says "Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease as a result of normal wear. Liquid damage is not covered by warranty."

A friend of mine for 10+ years has been having some financial difficulties. She's unfailingly friendly and a better artist than she gives herself credit for, so it’s dismaying to learn that she’s struggling and I figured I should do what I can to help her out.

A black and white pic of Iranian-French graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi holding a cigarette in her hands. Beside her pic is a text of her words:

"The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same..."

Here's an experimental short I made some years ago. There are two gimmicks: (1) I traced over the walk cycle and background over and over again, with errors accumulating with each iteration (2) Similarly, I traced over the audio spectrogram of the soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCle...

I designed and painted the imagery on this bowl on the Thanksgiving weekend, and it was recently fired and sent to me. It took two days to finish - next year I'm doing a simpler design. (The bowl itself was made by my mom.)

Some spooky art I made at a Hallowe'en party. (1) The craft supplies included some googly eyes, so I incorporated them into a painting. (2) The dragon model (right) was painted by my friend Chris; I made the painting (left) of the model.
A painting on a small canvas of yellow ghosts over a blue background. Googly eyes have been attached to the painting where the ghosts' eyes are.A friendly-looking ceramic dragon that has been painted blue-green, next to a painting on a small canvas of that same ceramic dragon.

Remember kids, you're more likely to be killed by a car on Hallowe'en than by poisoned candy. So just to be safe, make sure to eat lots of poisoned candy. I'm pretty sure that's how statistics work.

just thinking about the first time i met Dr. Goodall. I was at the Dallas Zoo and ran into her out of the blue. I told her I was a huge fan and I'll never forget her response: "I am not Jane Goodall. I'm not even a woman. Please stop shaking my hand." that's just how Jane was, incredibly humble.

Maybe the movie is fine, but the presentation of the logo almost seems like a parody of Disney movie announcements, i.e. generically whimsical one-word title in front of a black background.
