Feels nice to do some hair care. Been awhile. I feel like a teenager again. I feel a little more myself.

artists: do you have a webstore x printer solution to recommend? I'm considering print on demand x direct to customer solution provider, esp since shipping (from Sweden) can get expensive for the customer. I'm a lil overwhelmed by my research on Reddit. 😅 Products: prints and stickers, for now.

Blog cover art time is always fun time. Especially when it's Karl's blogposts.

I'm a simple man. I see people on stage get booed for using AI and I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. More of that please!

I've been a fan of Amanita Design ever since they put up Samorost. Love the variety of styles and genre variations they've gone through over the course of 2 decades, and Phonolopis looks absolutely fabulous. (Coming out tomorrow!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQlh...

A MAZE Berlin was great. It's an art house video game festival. It's more design and art heavy than programming. But they managed to squeeze in my Odin workshop despite that! Thanks :) Personally I like the art focus, as I find game design harder than programming. Got lots of inspiration!

Kulturhuset Leopardens konstmarknad (art market) was a blast 😻 Felt all the love and support from friends, family, fellow artists, my dearest town Uppsala, and even myself 😌 Came home super tired from an mega stimulating and fruitful day 🐈

"EN TILL, TACK!" One of the most useful phrases to learn in Swedish imo. My first use of it was at a bar hehe. Much confidence after one beer, to order the next. I felt cool while saying it.

Next week, I am hosting a workshop at A MAZE in Berlin. Want to make games where you start from the `main` function of a plain program and then just write the code? I'll show you how to get started with that, but also how the library we use works, all the way down to the OS and rendering APIs.

Am going to be at Leoparden's art market (in Uppsala) on 9 May, 12-4pm! Will be selling a zine, "Working Class Cat"🐈, as well as some prints and stickers. Kinda feels a little "for real" now... I guess that's good for all that imposter syndrome... 😅👀

Possibly the scariest looking Pontus I've ever drawn....

This is ridiculously satisfying to hold in my hands. Made with fabric from a used canvas tote and embroidered with sewing thread from an old sewing kit.

Recently tried dancing again, after a 15-year "break" and 3 failed attempts. This is the longest I stuck at it so far (1 month). It's somehow harder to go back to an art form you used to do. The shock that your body is not as it once was albeit the rumored "muscle memory". And the hurt to ones ego.

It happened again. I drew this from right to left... can't argue with evil potions and evil intentions of cat though.

My first attempt at a "comic style": Katt biru. Also realized im used to the manga order of reading so I drew it from right to left instead 🙃😅

Riddle me this: what do they expect when they invested over trillion $ in the AI? To get a return, a million people will have to spend million $ each. How is this reasonable?

Newsletter time! Today I'm talking about "karl2d", which I hope might become something similar to raylib, but written in Odin: news.zylinski.se/p/a-raylib-a...

A raylib alternative written in Odin

Also: Trying Jai and a better odin-c-binding generator.

Threw a bunch together for the brother's wedding. It's sitting in the corner of the living room for the tea ceremony. Not my style at all but a girl's gotta do what she has to for her traditional, conservative family. I guess that's just how art is...

Ported the dialogue editor from CAT & ONION into this new project I'm toying around with (graphics by @mandelbaumski.bsky.social!) Since both projects use Raylib and the editor code is simple, I could copy-paste most of the code. Just needed to disable some very CAT & ONION-specific things in it.
