iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I'd feel better about it if there weren't so many unfunded projects by brilliant creators out there, but I hear you.

My lovely wife informs me that, not only am I currently laying down, but it's my default "ON" position. That seems like a design flaw; to have the "ON" and "OFF" positions be the same.

Wait. Hol' up. Not only do people remember Biker Mice from Mars, but they have a comic in the year 2026?! AND THEY'RE INTRODUCING NEW CHARACTERS?! I need to go lay down.

Still, it's a pretty neat show.

I've been watching Game of Thrones for the first time (I've only seen the first few episodes and the last season) and my only real problem with it, structurally, is it's difficult to have any sense of time passing. Months can seemingly pass between characters' appearances on screen.

I was going to try to squeeze in an October drawing challenge again this year, but then I remembered that my happy place is rendering fabric for hours on end, so that's not likely to happen this year.

That's terrible news, my friend! But at least you're keeping your priorities in order? Seriously though, I'm sorry to hear about it.

You're welcome to it. In fact, maybe you come get the stuff that's now in the pantry.

I was looking at picking it up digitally, so I'm glad to hear there are fun extras!

I need a new watch and one thing I'm learning is that I have expensive tastes. Apparently it's not just confined to art supplies!

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Albanian DJs are weird. They NEVER drop the beat. And yet I wait for it every single time.

Turns out I still really do not like disappointing people.

Look. In my defense... I forgot.

Is it possible for a person to be comprised entirely of frustration? Because I feel it might be possible.

Getting used to what this limited palette can do has been a hoot and a half! I've really been able to push myself and find out what I'm capable of. I'm glad you enjoy it!

Good ear? Best ear. Actually, I'm all manner of pleased with how this little painting turned out. Bob Peck (Robert Muldoon) in Jurassic Park. Oil on paper. 30cm x 15cm.

An oil painting of a man staring at the viewer. There's a giant leaf in the background and he appears to be looking over the edge of a shotgun.

Somewhere physical. I make a to-do list for the week and pick things each day to do. As long as I'm doing a thing or two every day I feel pretty good.

Diane Barker @mrsbarker.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I've basically been letting my list languish for the past few days (weeks, maybe...) so getting stuff done is helping with the bad brain.

After months of waiting, poking lawyers, and visits to immigration I can now say that I have my Albanian residency! Woo! I'm beyond excited.

Getting stuff done on my to-do list feels pretty darn good. I really should try to do that more often.
