The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Some Procreate colour mock-ups! I love going from pencil sketch > digital > back to physical media. Super satisfying! I've been feeling more drawn to real life physical media in my personal work, nothing quite beats pen to paper (or brush to... weird bit of pine coaster hahha), but love having both!

Painting 4/27 - the Cornicello! This one was super fun to paint. The cornicello is an Italian amulet that is meant to protect against the evil eye and bad luck in general✨

Recoverin' some dried out Nicker Poster Paint today. This paint is the same one Studio Ghibli uses, and I find it similar to gouache to use. It's excellent quality, so it's very important not to let any go to waste! TBH I may add a few more drops to make the consistency even smoooother next time 👀

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”

Coaster prepping time! The thicker pine feels so much more solid, but double layers of gesso are needed to make sure the surface is smooth and ready for painting. DELISH. Now they're prepped and ready, it's time to start painting!

Some of the icons and UI/UX I created for Wanderstop 🍵⚔️ I had a lot of fun making them, as they were more illustrative than usual icons! Each is representing a character from the game, and shows up in the dialogue UI.

If you're in #Edinburgh for all the festival stuff it is worth making time to visit the Botanic Gardens. They are lovely, of course, but the exhibition they have about our soil brings together art and science so well with something for everyone (hopefully). #art #Scotland All free too!

Art work of stones reducing in size to tiny gravel in a winding river pattern and ending in a small stone ball representing earth. All in red rock. On a white table in an exhibition room. I forgot to note the artist's name!

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Not perfect and need to get correct fitting bolts and hopefully source brass washers to fit the wood better once it’s oiled and goes a deeper reddish brown. Cant do any more tonight as I need to use power tools and to late for that. But hay this new tool box is nearly done. #woodworking

Back of the tool box with the taller side. I like the wood markings and wanted to show it off

Front of the tool box. I wanted it to feel like there was a front and back wile also removing a damaged section of wood in the process. Time will tell if this works well as a tool box as a result.

more WIPs of a little project I've been working on + bonus pic of a zoom to a beautiful sketch I made... such wonderful calming creatures, birds...

Sketch on procreate of a chap with flowing locks, big ol' beard and some scars on his forhead and eyebrow area. He's got bags under his eyes, a tired chap.

Close up crop of the image before with a screaming bird face for a different character in the project. Alas, that iteration of screaming bird remains unused, but the sketch persists, screaming through time and space.

ANOTHER YEAR ROUND THE SUN TODAY🌻🌞! Feat. the best birthday card ever from @mattbeakes.bsky.social Lumi reaching her Final Form, she will show no mercy

A illustration drawn by Matt of Lumi, our dog, morphed in to a Rubix cube - her final form. The Lumix Cube. On the top of the cube it reads "snoot", the front side reads "uh oh stinky" and the side reads "extra spicy". At the bottom two people yell "LUMIX NO!". She is about to enter her final snooter powers.

Close up of the text reading "snoot!", "uh oh stinky" and "extra spicy"

Enjoying the sunshine in Edinburgh ☀️☀️☀️

A pretty turreted building on the streets of Edinburgh, there are a good few people sitting outside in the sunshine

A very dramatic looking tree with a blast of sunlight hitting it's chunky trunk. Quite strong Elden Ring vibes but less scary.

More streets of Edinburgh in the sunshine, near the Grassmarket. You can see bunting crossed up above between the buildings and a tiny bit of Edinburgh Castle on the horizon.

A beam of sunlight hitting a funky looking stone entrance way with a big tree behind it.

A David Lynch quote for every creative person who may need it today. It resonated with me when I came across it reading it in Lynch on Lynch.

" No, it wasn't. What makes you worry about things like that is when you start thinking about what certain people might say about it later. Because you're not really sure what they might say. And if you start worrying, you could make some really strange decisions based upon that worry. The work isn't talking to you any more; this worry is talking to you. And you become paralysed. So the trick is: you've got to forget making a hero or a fool of yourself and just try to get into that world. and if you can do that, and you feel good about the decisions that you make, then you can weather whatever good or bad storm comes along. " - David Lynch in 'Lynch on Lynch'.
