Couldn't decide which I liked best and I'm ride-or-die for tintypes and daguerreotypes but I wanted to play dress-up with @realgdt.bsky.social 's Creature. He deserves some fancy new togs. #Frankenstein

back when producers realized making media that actually appealed to women actually made a ton of money, and that they were a massive untapped market

Signed up for the Little Mermaid where Scuttle gets to be on a fly 20ft in the air. I’m not an adrenaline junkie but I’m not afraid of heights. It’s just a matter of not failing auditions. 🫠

Having fun drawing out at my residency where I’m also getting a lot of writing done. When I don’t have my digital tools I’m more prone to experimenting and finishing work. I miss the feeling!

I wrote a full 13 page short story in one sitting. I haven’t done that… ever? Maybe a six page short story in a day or a twenty page short story in a week for school… but this??? I must have been possessed or something. It’s a first draft but I’m going to let it sit before I clean it up.

I’m halfway through a collection of Harlan Ellison stories while I’m out at my artist residency. I might be reaching, but I never thought to consider why Christoph’s name is Harlander until I saw @realgdt.bsky.social’s name praising Harlan’s work. There may be no connection, but it’s a fun thought.

Made it to my residency! Amazing old buildings on the Puget Sound! So eager to chill and write for three weeks and get to know other writers and artists!

I’m consuming media but not allowing the taste to linger. Lots of video games and Drop Out hahaha.

Finally finished my Elizabeth piece to celebrate @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein film! Elizabeth quickly became an inspiration with her carrying so many roles and motifs in the narrative. I wanted the wood grain and the bars in the image for texture and to match her story.

Reorganized some more (most of this book has been sorting it out) and wrote a whole 8 pages in an hour. That doesn’t happen.

First ever call back in my life? It doesn’t mean I get the role I want or even if I get in. But after 10 years of doing theater on and off and being inspired by my local community of amazing actors and show-runners, I feel like I’ve leveled up. Impostor syndrome is hitting an all time high.

I want to watch the Charles Dance version of the Phantom of the Opera again. It’s my favorite because we don’t see what Charlie looks like but everyone has a much more severe reaction to his face than any version where we see him. The mystery is divine. He’s so wonderfully sweet and sassy I miss it.

Ready to pick my manuscript up again after a few days. It’s been a painful separation because I got stuck before I really got stuck but I have to work through it to get it done.

Audition went well! Doubt I’m getting the part knowing how this awesome woman chooses her cast mates, but we’ll see. I audition for her because she puts community in community theater, and brings joy to every production. Whatever happens I trust the judgement of her and the crew.

Fell into a lull creativity wise. Auditions for my local show are tomorrow so I’m in what I call “Hunker Down Mode” where my brain kind of goes numb and I get a little more anxious but I’m mostly calm while I wait for the thing I’m anticipating to happen.

Working on the twin piece for the other piece I finished celebrating @realgdt.bsky.social’s #frankenstein. Representing Act 2 which encompasses the beginning and end of the film. It’s the full circle: timeless, resonating, and whole.

Wrote about 16 pages tonight on my manuscript. My chapters are getting longer and longer. But I know that when I read it later I will cut out so much garbage like I did with the first half of the damn thing. The joy of writing.

I still really love this Darkman piece I did last year or year before. It was my first real attempt at making a fully rendered piece with my sketching style. My digital work is very stiff and sterile, so this was my first time trying to marry digital with my comfort zone in traditional sketches.

Got two chapters done on one of my manuscripts, spent time adding to the Frankenstein WIPs, and finished memorizing my monologue for an upcoming community theater audition. Feeling really good!

Still working on the twin piece for Frankenstein and another one dedicated to Elizabeth. Knowing how my brain is prone to fixation, when I’m done I’ll probably try and escape the internet for a while. Frankenstein—my heart—is wonderful, but as a creator I need some brain space for my own creatures.

The parasites told me to buy every Save the Cat! Book in the series, and now the parasites are telling me to utilize the other ones alongside the first book which is almost ten years old and begging for mercy.

Feeling good about finishing this first draft of this manuscript I’m working on. No idea what possessed me to write this story, but it’s been easier to tackle than so many other projects. Unlike those other ones, this was the first that felt like I didn’t need an outline to know exactly what to do.

Embergeist @embergeist.bsky.social · 08/11/2025
Finished another chapter of one of my stories. Tonight I’m going to work on the twin piece for the first Frankenstein one I posted and maybe get to some character sheets for another one of my stories which I have plans to turn into a comic.

McCarthyism and the Hollywood Blacklist was one of my favorite subjects that my professors allowed me to indulge in studying and discussing. However, it’s absolutely something that I would be happy to not see repeated in my lifetime. Good God.

Finished my first piece for @realgdt.bsky.social’s wonderful Frankenstein film just in time for its wide release on Netflix! The passion and craft that went into making the film is an inspiration. If my voice is raw from singing its praises, then I will make art to celebrate instead!

Embergeist @embergeist.bsky.social · 07/11/2025
I think I’m finished. It’s a very busy piece but I think I can post it tomorrow to celebrate the release of the film! Maybe tonight. We’ll see. I feel like I need to set it down to simmer before I try and be brave about posting it haha.

Watching Dispatch on my phone while the power is out. I can’t buy the game yet but I think I have to because oh my lord it’s so much fun. I love story structures like this heavy on character development.

Progress halted again. No computer to type on because the power is out now. But my iPad should be charged now so I could always tackle that.

Embergeist @embergeist.bsky.social · 06/11/2025
While I wait for my device to charge so I can keep arting I’m working on rounding out the cast of some of my writing projects. It’s an anthology set in one fantasy world and figuring out the characters wants and needs helps me sort out the conflict before writing because I always get stuck on drama.

Woke up to a ton of notifications today?!? Over a WIP?!?

I think the only reason I’d still want Twitter is because I have a few cool people following me for some reason that either don’t follow me elsewhere or don’t have other socials. But frankly I’ve had embarrassing encounters with other people I admire there that I genuinely could be happy deleting.

This site might be a softer landing place than Insta and Twitter. I’m still so new but Twitter is hostile and Insta has been a chore except for my mutuals. It doesn’t help I made rules for how I operate on those respective sites but I’m going to try and let this place just be a creative dump for me.

#WIP for a piece celebrating @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein. This is actually going to be a twin for another matching piece. Watched it a second time in theaters today and every part of the film bleeds love and care.

First post on Bluesky! I found this through some mutuals who have been posting here a while. I don’t know what to expect by being here but I’ll post art sometimes and some WIPs here and there!
