sometimes you see a software feature and know that it was the must-implement request of an executive, like for example the fact that my Canon scanner plays a little MIDI song for the duration of every scan BY DEFAULT yes boss great idea sir you're right this will definitely increase brand loyalty

"Thigh Tide" (work in progress) sepia #ink on marker paper
Comic book style ink drawing of a sexy and cute witch riding a broom like a surfboard. We view her from behind as she looks over her shoulder at us while using her arms to balance. She wears a pointed witch hat, a pixie haircut, round eyeglasses, pentagram earrings, and a sexy wetsuit with short sleeves and a high leg cut. The woman is short and bottom-heavy, and the artist has clearly spent a lot of time scrutinizing plus-size thighs.

I've been taking selfies since before there was a name for it. Here are a couple Baby Brians from 2001, in my first shitty apartment.

Amazing how much time I spent in that Mechwarrior game when it looked like this and ran at about 5 FPS.

Here's a 2nd attempt at @mikemignola.bsky.social 's Hellboy. This one's a *little* more comic-accurate, what with his hooves and cute little shorts. I know I'm 30 years late to the #Hellboy train, but I've been devouring it lately. #Art #ComicArt #CopicMarkers #Drawing #DarkHorse #FanArt

Stumbled across some more blackmail material from my teenage years. This one made me laugh out loud. I have NO memory of drawing this when I was 17, but I was proud enough of it to sign the damned thing ...
A bad adolescent drawing of a jacked as hell female character in a horned helm, boots, glaives, and a bikini. She is mid-jump, about to cast some kind of spell with on hand.

My dad brought over some of my highschool artwork from 95-97 (age 15-17) and woof, is it ever *of the era* lol You've got #doom fan art, a buxom raver girl named Tweeter with akimbo SMGs, a sexy cat android, and a very manga-influenced martial arts action comic page. More info in the alt text.
I'd completely forgotten about this armored cyber cat-girl drawing. The clawed hand is actually kind of cool. Age 17.This one's undated but it would probably be 1996, as the action reads better than the comics I was drawing 95. It follows the 180-degree rule at least. Definitely a manga influence here, which at that time for me would've meant Battle Angel Alita, Gunsmith Cats, Ghost in the Shell.Amateur adolescent comic/manga action pin-up of a raver girl character named Tweeter. She's wearing a hoodie and hammer pants and cold murking some chumps with her machine pistols. I don't think I had much of a backstory for her, except that her sidekick was a robot dog named -- you guessed it  -- Woofer.Comic-style pin-up of the Doom marine firing a weapon in profile, his feet obscured by smoke because I was no good at drawing them. You could get away with drawing stuff like this before Columbine happened. Also the pentagram is upside-down.

I've tried to use streaming services multiple times and I just get paralyzed by choice and end up skipping around. At this point, I'm 40-something and I own ~800 records that I've ripped and sorted into my own idiosyncratic categories and aside from the odd bandcamp purchase, it's ... plenty.

Of *course* the newest and largest HDD in my desktop has started making pinging noises mere months after its 5-year warranty expired, at a time when prices are up like 60% Having a NAS now I've got no real need to replace it, but also not sure what to do with a "tests-OK" drive I don't trust. #PC

Solid sewage is literally used as fertilizer. Reclaimed water is used as ... water. These are known practices. When done incorrectly or using illegal sources, outbreaks follow. The farm lobby paid a lot of money to this admin to reduce oversight and food safety.

This is a pretty typical page. Lots of plan-view polygonal spaceships and a few maps that look like what a DM might draw for a TTRPG campaign with their friends. It's got charm, but it anybody was expecting narrative illustration they'd be disappointed.

Last week we stayed in a cabin in the Sierra, down the road from where I grew up. Managed to time it with the last big storm of the season, but that also meant maximum greenery. Felt more like Cascadia than the central Sierra. Population 225, cell coverage 0%. Nice. #SierraCounty #California

Enjoy some #CrimsonDesert screenshots. It really is an incredible thing to look at. Every square meter of the landscape feels like it was dressed by hand, even though that couldn't possible be true. 20 hours in and I haven't left the starting area yet.
