Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Podcast alert!!!! Together with Hanna Schraffenberger I am launching the Computer Science Off Course Podcast Today! Computer Science curricula are very very narrow in scope with a lot of math and algorithms, but very little meta science, philosophy or history.

get weirder 🫵
a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

'nüüm na waalt - it belongs to us all. sticker design this month on my patreon 🌕 inspired by the artemis ii mission, and pictures of mineral moons that circulated at the time (partially due to a misunderstanding that they were un- or lightly-manipulated photos from the mission itself).
an illustration of a mineral moon. the craters and trails of the moon are coloured in an exaggerated, limited rainbow; a formline design of raven's wing feathers are casted across the moon, and his head extends around the side, as if trying to hold it. the earth is also drawn in phases in the corner of the design.

'Hoping' Brown pencils on ivory cartridge paper, 150 × 105 mm. #Junicorn
Monochrome, sepia toned drawing in brown pencils on ivory toned paper. A unicorn with a rich, dappled coat walks quietly through the grass, its head and neck held slightly lowered, almost in line with its body. Its demeanour is gentle, almost cautious.

Come on
4 panel silly comic in black lines only. A blob guy has a big pencil. It says “I draw”. In the second panel he seems happy with his drawing and it says “all done yeah”. Panel 3 shows him holding up the drawing of a triangle with legs and a happy face. He goes “come on”. In the final panel he’s very pleased with himself, closes his eyes and tells himself “I’m a bit incredible”

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃 #ArtAdventCalendar
Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.
