"Somebody Has Sabatoged the Power in My Own Home" Acrylic paint and acrylic marker on canvas, 2025-2026

A small canvas about 7 inches long and 5 inches wide, is covered throughout by a bluish-black coat that is intentionally slightly uneven and somewhat messy on the edges. From the right edge of this scene, an anxious, armless cartoon creature walks in, timidly clutching a lit flashlight in their frowning zig-zag mouth. This creature also sports a blue pallor, a somewhat long and rectangular head/body, striped legs ending in fin or frond-like feet, three ears like a cat's, freckles, and an antenna sprouting from their leftmost ear. From their flashlight emits a host of various shapes, dots, lines, and patterns, that all come together to form a golden ray of light.

[ Spoilers for Super Paper Mario ] Congratulations. You win. soundtrack for this art (optional but recommended): youtu.be/HggzcCMY2jo

Digital drawing of Mimi from Super Paper Mario standing up in the middle of a desolate and lonesome landscape in Sammer Kingdom after its destruction by the Void: nothing but a blank white expanse with a couple of building ruins, all against an empty white sky. Mimi wears her kimono from her Chapter 6-2 appearance, implying this scene to take place very soon after that point in the game, and she faces straight ahead to our point of view, witnessing the erased world with an unexaggerated yet absolute look of shock and horror on her face.

clipart bird

A drawing in a very small, pixelated resolution of a bird-like character composed of a variety of colorful shapes: rectangular eyes look to the side atop a beak with a jawlike smile, portruding from a triangular torso tied at the top, with one long and lanky arm, two short and wildly different legs (one curvy like a worm, one bent like a straw and striped), and simple tail feathers. The character resembles a mascot character with a postmodern design that could have existed around the year 2000, and the tiny resolution makes it look like a piece of clipart.

// bright colors, trypo / craters I wonder what I'll find here...!

A bright acrylic marker drawing on black paper of EL, a humanoid whose body, head and hair are made of green slime. He has robotic limbs, a panel with buttons on his chest, a beanie, and star earrings in mismatched colors with matching fuzzy bracelets. EL stands in the midst of an arid-looking landscape similar to a desert. Small craters and spotted flowers dot the ground, and a rectangular sun rises over a boxy rock face in the background. Currently EL, facing frontward and slightly left, hand on their leftmost hip, looks off to our right, with their rightmost arm outstretched holding a bulky device on a grip handle; with its radar dish and antenna attachments radiating visible waves, it appears to be a detector of some sort, as if EL is searching for things in the area. At the bottom right corner the drawing is signed "EL" with a skull or jellyfish-like icon.

the bois...

A dynamically-lined digital illustration of EL and Terry standing by each other, playing it cool and being content. EL is a happy neon green humanoid slime with light green hair, grey and teal robotic limbs and a chest panel with three buttons. He wears a pink beanie and pink and yellow star earrings and fuzzy bracelets. They look to us as if to greet us, holding up his rightmost arm like he is presenting something. Floating in midair to the left of EL is Terry, a living UFO of the cartoonish "flying saucer" variety: he sports a pink ring-shaped body lined with yellow lights, three spindly legs ending in yellow lights, and a big yellow windshield-dome on top with two expressive eyes, with an antenna ending in a pink light on top of that. Terry casually looks towards EL. The entire drawing is given a white border.

coupla vexies /o{^u_u^}o| ✨️

A cartoony Micron ink pen drawing of my character Vexie VaVroom the stylish robot: she sports bright white silicon 'skin', horns, two antennae, and vent-like ears on her head, a long holographic hairdo that can display all sorts of patterns (here it has dots), and in lieu of legs moves around on treads. She wears her usual ensemble; a long sleeved top with houndstooth trim cuffs and wavy cut on the bottom edge, a long skirt with a patterned rectangle design reminiscent of mod fashion, silver chain necklaces, and dramatic oblong silver hoop earrings with sprocket-like sawtooth outer edges and heart charms on the inside. Here we see Vexie in the middle of a strut: we see her from the side as she trundles to the right, dynamically leaning back as she does so, head turned to us with a confident and dainty closed-eyes smile, arms relaxed and swaying back and forth. The linework is sharp yet loose and somewhat angular; I tried to capture the dynamism of her gait.

A second Micron pen cartoon of Vexie - she wears the same outfit as the previous drawing, and she is rendered in lines that are slightly bolder and a bit more softer edged. This time, Vexie stands straight upright, her pose pointed forward and slightly rightward, and appears to be surprised or having a eureka moment. Her mouth looks as if she's saying "Oh!", the pattern on her holo-hairdo is of lightbulbs, and above her is a speech bubble with one big exclamation point. Just what has her so caught off-guard or inspired isn't seen or certain.

junkbot redraw

Using markers on a tiny 2 inch-by-2 inch canvas, I've recreated the famous image of Junkbot, from the classic Lego web game of the same name, reading the "help wanted" section of a newspaper and looking to the side with a sneaky grin. Junkbot is an orange, boxy robot whose body is made of a regular Lego brick, topped with a sloped brick with a retractable panel on the angled part, and with a yellow plate brick on top. They have a square "recycle" symbol on their side, and everything about and around them is angular (my strokes aren't entirely exact, but they came close). Junkbot sits in their home with a green carpet and a lavender-and-light blue vertical striped wallpaper, with a crochet frame reading "I (Heart Symbol) TRASH" on the wall. They have an opened-up piece of newspaper with the headline "HELP" upon it, and the entire scene is bordered by a metallic frame with rivets at the corners.

Many games for the GameCube use only a fraction of the storage capacity of the disc. I have analyzed the data to determine what the maximum number of retail Mario games that can fit on a single disc would be, creating the Luigi & Wario + Puzzle + Rhythm Maximum Value Pack.

$A GameCube disc has a storage capacity of 1.46 gigabytes. Many Mario games use only a fraction of that storage. Below is the optimal distribution of the smallest Mario-related games on the system to fit 6 entire retail games on a single disc. Unused space 54 MB Luigi's Mansion 186 MB DDR Mario Mix 264 MB Wario World 257 MB Donkey Konga 2 312 MB Donkey Konga 250 MB Please note that this pie chart is for data visualization only. If the games were in fact put on one disc, the data would be arranged in rings, not in slices. Concept for post based on an idea from a comment by @vinchvolt.bsky.social$

Using genAI in a project intended to criticize genAI or corporate vices at large gives me the same vibe as subscribing to a hateful right-wing streaming service to disparage its shows. Any rightful criticism is outweighed and undermined by that the reviewer gave those horrible people money.

Just think about it from an intersectional perspective. How many photosensitive people of color have wanted to watch spiderverse and see themselves on the big screen, but couldn't due to series' art direction making it outright unsafe? It upsets me to no end.

encountersltd @encountersltd.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

the pokemon anime incident was in *1997* there's not much of an excuse for the spiderverse movies being so hostile to the photosensitive thru the art direction "but it's just their art style!" these films as they are can deeply harm, sometimes you just GOT to reel it in

at what point is putting an epilepsy warning no longer enough. at what point should it be time to raise the bare minimum from a warning to something more. the safety of the photosensitive audience should be considered from step one. warnings treat the symptom, but not the cause.

Screenshots taken from Instagram, showing how Nazi Germany used board games to dehumanise Jewish people, and compared to the White House MAGA games. Utterly reprehensible from the MAGA Cult and Fascist Cheeto. This is blatant fascism.

A four-panel graphic compares a historical Nazi-era board game to a modern mobile game, concluding with the text "IT'S THE SAME THING" across the bottom right.Top-Left PanelAn image showing components of the 1936 German board game "Juden Raus!" (Jews Out!). The top portion shows a cross-and-circle style game board with German text, while the bottom portion shows a close-up of the game pieces: yellow, conical figurines with caricature faces wearing large, pointed hats.Top-Right PanelA screenshot of a text article describing the history and mechanics of "Juden Raus!". It states that the game was published in Germany in 1936 by Günther & Co. It details how players roll dice to move their pieces—representing Jewish people—toward "collection points" outside city walls for deportation to Mandatory Palestine. The text notes a victory condition on the board: "If you manage to send off six Jews, you've won a clear victory!"Middle-Right PanelA continuation of the text article providing a critical review of the game. The text states that the game shows how deeply rooted antisemitism was in 1930s German society. It calls the game a "terrifying example of the banality of evil" and concludes that it serves as "a warning to us all."Bottom-Left PanelA screenshot of a mobile or video game interface titled "RIO RUN". The screen shows a pixelated gameplay area resembling a border wall or river bank, with five small character sprites lined up. Text at the top left reads "DEPORTED 4", and text at the bottom reads "Border patrol along the Rio Grande."Bottom-Right PanelA solid red block featuring the words "IT'S THE SAME THING" written in bold, white, capital letters.

A summery outfit for Vexie ☁️✨️

Drawn with a mechanical pencil on a lined notepad, we see the robotic fashionista Vexie VaVroom showing off her latest outfit! Vexie has bright white silicon 'skin', horns, two antennae, and vent-like ears on her head, a long holographic hairdo, and treads in lieu of legs. Facing towards us, treads pointed slightly rightward, Vexie poses her arms down on her sides and gives us a cheery little wink and smile- you can see her pointy teeth poking out at the sides of her mouth. Today's look is a two piece- she wears a long tube skirt with simple horizontal thin stripes for a pattern. For her top she has a long sleeved, slightly baggy fabric shirt with a square neckline, embroidered with scalloped-line details around the neck and waistlines, down the sleeves and around the cuffs! As bonuses, she's configured her holo-hair to display a fun clouds and suns pattern, and flaunts a statement necklace with medallions emblazoned with letter V's strung together by round and diamond-shaped beads! No earrings this time (a Vexie rarity!).
