Finishing an angry tree in the autumn sun. Inspired by Angry Orchard cider.

Another evening of quick sketches of… creatures. I’m loving being able to play like this, drawing from imagination, being inspired by great artists and nature. I really love the freedom of messy pencils and loose watercolor washes.

Page full of creature sketches in pencil and watercolor on gray toned paper, pencil, brush, and watercolor palette at the bottom.

Study drawing of a tower by Vaughn Bodē. Blackwing pencil on 28# letter. This was fun. I miss adding shading and hatching.

A quick Brian Froud study in pencil. Now I understand why the Blackwing pencils are so superior to a standard yellow #2 pencil. So smooth and great range of darks.

I'm almost done with ebooks as a concept. If a publisher insists on charging the same for an ebook as a printed version, I'll take the printed version over the 'license' of a book any day.

I wish @bsky.app moderation would let me specify WHY I want to see LESS of type of post. I don't mind nudity, I just want to see less AIGen-nudity.

"Do not talk to me or my son ever again". I reclaimed and brought home one of my original metal WH40K Tyranid Scream-Killer (Carnifex) models from 1993. It's so heavy! The latest iteration makes it look so small. Can hardly wait to find the time to paint both in matching colors.

These characters are in the same cinematic universe. Bob Balaban was the narrator and cartographer that taught Sam how to read maps in Moonrise Kingdom. He was the cartographer/translator in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. "Excuse me, EXCUSE ME!"

If dreams could be crushed...then re-crushed info a fine powder...then made into a sort of porcelain dream that is then RE-RE-crushed, etc...my dreams would be shattering at the atomic level and possibly emitting Cherenkov radiation.

500 Miles in May, Goal COMPLETED. It feels really good to stay ahead of pace all month and successfully use a graph I added in a browser extension. It kept me motivated to sustain my daily streak, stay on pace, when I had to get extra miles, and when I could take it easy.

I turn 50 in December. I don't want to spend it at home where the weather is usually shit that time of year, I want to go mountain biking somewhere dry and sunny. Moab is great but some places there may be under snow by then. Any other recommendations in the SW?

Tomás Quiñones @tomasquinones.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Sigh. I made an Instagram account for work to test some stuff so now I’m back to posting bike pics. Maybe I should post drawings and stuff on an alt account.

I've set up a goal to ride my bicycle 500 miles in the month of May. I rode 408 in April so I figured this would be a good push. If I do make it...what should use as a self-reward? I don't have the budget for a new bike right now. A day off? New miniatures?

I was finally able to ride all the way up Old Springville Road without stopping. I wasn’t fast but I never put my foot down until I went all the way up, down, and back home. This climb is pain.

I keep putting my bicycle themed coloring books in our tiny library and over the last 8 months 100 copies have been taken by strangers. I wonder if they are actually being colored.

Finally read “Annihilation” by Jeff Vandermeer. That was some cosmic dread that reminded me a bit of Arthur C. Clark and Rat Bradbury mashed together.

I want my rule books for games in easy to read formats like spiral bound books or better yet thick paper in a three-ring binder with color coded tabs. Getting back into games like Battletech and WH40k, the books have so much other stuff going on that I feel bad about highlighting, dog-earring.

I'm only 5 lessons into the book, but so far I really like "Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish". It is engineered for my old-man brain. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

2026 Goal #4: A1 proficiency in Spanish. So many places I want to visit where Spanish would be incredibly useful. Duolingo was a good starting point, but I want a bit more CYOA when it comes to studies so I can focus on areas of interest or weakness.

Tomás Quiñones @tomasquinones.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

2026 Goal #3: Join local CERT and ARES groups to help my community and neighbors prepare for natural disasters. This is where my amateur radio license and Wilderness First Aid training will pay off. Learn about CERT: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communi... Learn about ARES: www.arrl.org/ares

Tomás Quiñones @tomasquinones.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

2026 Goal #2: Renew amateur radio license and upgrade to General license. Secondary, upgrade to Extra. There are still many gaps in our cell network across the US and I've seen first hand how bad weather can knock out towers. This leads me to Goal 3...

Tomás Quiñones @tomasquinones.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

2026 Goal: Re-certify for Wilderness First Aid. My cert expired recently and through the years I've had to patch up a dozen strangers I've come across on the trail. So many people woefully unprepared for the wilderness. Good thing I keep my first aid kit well stocked.

Happy November 14th to all who celebrate the second appearance of Dr Manhattan after being atomized in a lab accident. Be sure to horrify whoever you appear to, when screaming for thirty seconds before vanishing

A comic panel from the comic series watchmen. A skinless Dr Manhattan is screaming outside a fence of a military base with a horrified armed guard outside watching. Caption reads: November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing
