I am pleased with how my betta fish dish came out. I’m having a lot of fun playing with the glaze on these fish!
Ceramic dish sculpted in the shape of a betta fish. The glaze ranges from green to blue to purple.Close-up of betta fish dish.

Pleased to announce that after an evening's labour, I have produced the World's Saddest Custard ™️
Translucent white goop with the consistency of really thick custard in a pyrex bowl sitting on a saucepan. It looks like it tastes of sadness but that would be overstating its flavourfulness.

Asterix Archiv 🐗 @comedix.de · 20/09/2026
Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

This sort of walkable mixed-use loading gauge is illegal in Britain.
The interior of the Shinkansen at the National Railway Museum. It's very beige and has comfortable 3+2 seating with a decent aisle, vertical side walls and plenty of overhead space. Imagine the opposite of a Voyager.

The year is 2037. The jobcentre LLM assigns you 5,000 jobs to apply for each day. You instruct an LLM to apply for them and the 1.5 million applications for each job are evaluated by the employer's LLM. If you do not accept a job you are offered, the DWP LLM will sanction you.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

Some of the small spot illustrations by Eric Fraser that accompanied the Radio Times magazine’s weekly listings for the BBC’s 1981 radio adaptation of Tolkein’s “The Lord Of The Rings”.
An apparently outclassed Eowyn in mortal combat with Angmar, leader of the Nazgûl. The style is of a bold woodcut.In a forest, the Hobbits Merry and Pippin sit on the “arms” of the Elk Treebeard while discussing matters with him. The destruction of Mount Doom. Lightning bolts fire out from a mountain’s summit while a blast carries away its mid-section. “The Grey Havens” - Three figures on a hill watch a lone ship sail out to sea. The trip ahead is shown to be sunny, leaving behind the rainy skies over the land being left behind.
