One of these days I'm going to write that novel about the heroine Paige Turner and her friend Brook Marks.

Slowly making my way through some recent releases. "Season Cycle : Autumn" by @herbersmusic.bsky.social is a great final installment in the Season Cycle series. Really captures the slower mood of the season (at least now that my kids are grown 😄). Collect all 4! herbers.bandcamp.com/album/season...

The new compilation album from @infloresce.com is fantastic. A wide range of styles. One that stood out to me was "Becoming" - mostly because I think it would make a GREAT theme song for a Love Boat reboot! I do suggest getting the PDF "liner notes" infloresce.bandcamp.com/album/inflor...

Sitting in your armchair, surrounded by a thick cloud of smoke, you’re deep in thought, staring into space, when suddenly an idea pops into your head : it’s elementary! Well, musically speaking, how does that sound? New theme is #SherlockHolmes 🔎

"Some days, I don't fit in my own head" #noAI #artSky #OriginalArt

A man sits backwards in chair, arms folded across the back of the chair. Classic studio pose. He wears a blue button down shirt and brown herringbone sport coat. His head is missing. There is a circle where his head should be. Over top, a blurred, distorted image of a head clearly does not fit in the space allowed - like it is the wrong jigsaw puzzle piece.
A white border frames the entire piece. The title is at the bottom.

This kinda got buried under Bandcamp Friday, but the final installment of my Season Cycle series is up for pre-order and releasing on Sept 22 (Autumnal Equinox)! It's all melancholy instrumental music that conveys my feelings about this time of year. Details in the thread!

Okay - how about a post card - though it is the wrong aspect ratio. Also - if you have some spare shekels (or pfennig, or whatever) - consider throwing some at @publicdomainrev.bsky.social Software is still WIP, but thought this looked good.

Something different. How about a simple Festival poster ? photo from Pexel. The sentence box/swirl in the center was done by the script. It would be cool if you could then rotate the whole thing by say 20-30 degrees.

Poster for the "Fresno Fake Folk Festival" Sponsored by MegoCorp. Their motto is "We promise to be a part of the problem". Performers are listed as "Harpers Junction", "Dusty Britches", "Bill McAllister", "The Anaphylactic Gang", "Hexcaster", "and many more!"
The headliner is "Angry Jo".
Near the center is the sentence "music is revolution". Four copies are arranged in a square. The background image is an acoustic guitar. What looks like the inside of shop with more guitars and amps is blurred.

Another fake album cover, just for fun. Photo from Pexel. One thing this taught me is that I need to rethink the way the gutters work. I wanted to push both texts a few more pixels away from the sides, but the script just doesn't let me at the moment.

Fake album cover. Black border at the top has the name of the album - "Pretentions" in white lettering. A black border at the bottom as the name of the artist "WIlliam Collins" in white lettering. Across the middle is a picture of a gold statue of a chariot with three horses. The charioteer has hs right leg propped up on the front board of the chariot. He holds the reigns in his right hand. His left hand holds a torch above his head. His cloak billows out behind him. The chariot is ornate - a lion's head is on the hub of the wheel. Figures are carved in relief into the side of the chariot.
