I made some acrylic treasure tokens! ✨✨✨ No idea if these would be practical to use, but I just wanted to make more shiny things. I'm selling small a trial run at the Spotlight: The Hobbit event in Brisbane next week. Maybe eventually I'll put them up in my shop :)

I illustrated a whole bunch of sagas for #MTGxTheHobbit! Here's the first; Burn, Burn Tree and Fern. AD Cassie Murphy. The brief called for a watercolour style similar to that of Tolkien's illustrations.

Since Mystical Archives cards are meant to look like they came out of a spellbook, I made a book inspired case for one of my Force of Will APs ✨📘✨ This will be available in my shop next week (more details soon)!

It seems so obvious now, but why don't I ever do shapes within shapes?!?!??? Accidentally stumbled into this while making a silly little sticker to include with my shop orders omg. I literally think this is the best, most elegant thing I have made in recent memory. 🫠

How To Live A Good Life #oldknees

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Found these AMAZING paintings ...at an estate auction of all places! The artist is Lars Knudsen. It seems like he worked mainly during the 80s/90s, and these are originals for a series of bird posters he produced in collaboration with some zoos around Australia.

I set up Home Assistant to turn on some lights, but it's quickly escalated to… this. @alexstoneart.bsky.social made a Pokemon inspired pixel art floorplan of the entire apartment. I'm currently making it interactive (chores & active devices are shown on the map). Thinking of animating it too. Omg 😅

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

A pencil drawing of a woman reclining in bed, but her hands look kind of fucked up, and her face has been scribbled out, apparently in frustration by the artist

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool
