Do you ever feel like a whacky wavy inflatable tube person?

Huge respect to all the other people participating in #inktober looking thru the hashtag is inspiring me to get better at art and try new things each time. Now I just need more time to draw, im slow & unsteady. Can only imagine how long it takes some other art pieces that I see people sharing ✍️ 📷🦋

First week of #Inktober done ☑️ Been having fun making a little ritual of sitting down to put ink to paper. Usually I struggle to share making art because IMO my ability to draw is worse of an elementary schooler, but but but this is a fantastic excuse to get out my comfort zone to draw and share ✍️

This is the ADHD version of make it exist first. Sometimes i forget to revisit old work and think about how it can improve

similar experience on my side, bsky keeps showing me the same pages (you for example) and it’s hard to tell if you are one of the only people posting or the algo is not as good at a variety of recommendations in the feed.

Hello from Croatia 🇭🇷 I’m in Dubrovnik for Reboot Blue (game dev conference) I got in early to explore the old city. There is an old world beauty here I have only seen before in photos. I have some 360 footage of walking the city walls I hope to share it soon when I’m not busy exploring 🥾

Ian is smiling while standing on the city walls above the old city in Dubrovnik Croatia at sunset. The city’s red tile roofs contrast with deep Ian’s deep purple hair
