Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 21hMade some portraits for the game we're working on. I might maybe animate them later we'll see :P #pixelart #aseprite #gamedev 0122
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I didn't realize how tired the gmtk jam would leave me :P I was completely useless yesterday lol. Buuuuuuut my friend and I did indeed finish and post our little hacking game! It's, uh, so very janky, but i still think it's a fun 30 minutes basil-games.itch.io/zero-day #GMTKjam #gamedevbasil-games.itch.ioZero-Day by Basil GamesA zero-day exploit... It seems too good to be true, and to be frank, it probably is. 071
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Oooo, I almost forgot to post this. The reception for "What We Take With Us" (the group show my painting class put on) was wonderful! Unfortunately, I'm blinking in the only photo I have with my painting, so there's that T-T #art 040
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Oh my god the way Chase uses dry-brushing to create the lace on her cuffs! The broken, partially transparent strokes imply the detail of lace so perfectly without getting lost in every little thread #ConArtInSitu 110
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Oh, I adore this painting. Don't get me wrong, the DAM has plenty of great portraits, but this one, "Portrait of Ms. S." by William Merritt Chase, is my fav #ConArtInSitu 110
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Hey look- It's a painting exhibition! The painting class I'm part of is sticking a big bundle o' art into the lowermost floor of the DU Library, and if you're in the vicinity, you should go to the reception! It'll be Thursday (tomorrow) 3-5 PM #art 041
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 13/05/2026As a graphic designer, I'm obviously a little biased here, but graphic design (and design more generally) is definitely art. When I say that, it sounds so straightforward, but there *are* questions to be asked here #ConArtInSitu 100
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Sooooo... The Denver Art Museum. It's pretty cool! I mean, I only got to spend a tiny tiny amount of time there, but still. Pretty cool! At least what I saw of it #ConArtInSitu 100
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Sometimes, when talking with someone about art, I feel a kind of resistance in my conversation partner. "It's not that deep" is a common refrain, and it frustrates me #ConArtInSitu 100
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 13/04/2026I've seen "Or, The Whale" by Bethany Collins three times now, and there's a few things I noticed on my most recent visit that I hadn't before #ConArtInSitu 110
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Like all attempts at periodization, labeling art as "contemporary" gets... complicated. Can a dead artist be contemporary? How recently does a piece have to have been produced to be contemporary? Any hard line invites exceptions #ConArtInSitu 210
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 06/04/2026The MCA Denver building is a work of art in itself. I mean, architecture is always a kind of art, but the MCA building is as much a part of the museum experience as the exhibits #ConArtInSitu 100
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I rode the E line to MCA Denver today, and it's remarkable how much riding a train improves my mood. Probably something to do with not having to navigate the Fury Road that is Denver's road network :P 100
Flora Riley @floriforgetful.bsky.social · 30/03/2026What is art? Anything people call art. It's just like calling something "sci-fi" or "action-adventure", which is to say, it's a way of inviting a particular kind of engagement #ConArtInSitu 121
