On my way!! 💐 #art

Painting of a dark yellow labrador holding a bouquet of flowers in their mouth. They're sitting with their head out a car window and the the flowers are blowing away somewhat abstractly in the wind. The bg is just a mix of pastel colors.

This is a silly snail/game dev appreciation post (a thread) 💙 🐌

Text reads "Want to know the single best thing about being a game dev?". There is a sketch of a dark green frog with light green spots on them. They have wide bug eyes.

Immortalising this #GameDevFashion look before I whipped it off to go for a swim. Beading detail shot of the back as well Alexander McQueen Widows of Culloden collection, f/w 2006

A woman poses in a brightly lit bathroom, wearing a shimmering gold bustier plated with rhinestones and plates of golden glass with a black velvet dress. She wears little pearl earrings and has her blonde hair down

This close-up photograph of a black velvet dress reveals its intricate beading: golden ferns have been expertly hlbeaded across the shoulders and down the sides where they'd frame the wearer's back like wings

A blonde woman is here, midway through changing into her beach gear for a swim and laughing at how ridiculous this outfit makes her boobs look. Happy game dev fashion week, alt text readers

Grand finale of #gamedevfashion week: my Met Gala look 🖤 Sarah and I had a lot of fun doing this photoshoot. Thanks to Isaac (my son the cobbler’s apprentice) for the location scouting!

Laughing at Sarah the photographer. The train of the “skirt” (a black fluffy blanket) is draped elegantly and tucked into my belt
