It seems that I need it to be average under 80 degrees outside to motivate myself to be productive. So I'm going to try. I still have a harder time on current social media, so tumblr will be most active, but I will try and check in here more. In the mean time, have a piece I did for an old friend.

I tried to find most of my friends from the bird site and migrate to watching them here or tumblr. If I missed you, slap me, it was not intentional.
I am sitting on my name there, and didn't delete anything, but I don't see myself posting images there again. Annual con schedule post... maybe.
I have been hearing about that. I also thought it was only for selling physical THINGS. I still haven't taken the plunge into online selling, just a con here & there, but I keep thinking I really should. Can't quite figure out a good, economical way to send large prints though.

What you been up to?!
I put out a little teal pumpkin on my porch so people know I have stuff too... oh, and here is the link for their site.

An arrangement of non-candy treats, such as small boxes of crayons, tiny Halloween-themed rubix cubes, spooky erasers and a little black and white activity booklet. Brown paper bags with teal pumpkins stamped on them along with sharpie doodles.

Hey folks! Do you know the Teal Pumpkin Project? It's a way to let kids with food allergies go Trick-or-Treat to your house! All you gotta do is hand out something that ISN'T CANDY! (You can still hand out candy too.) And if you want, post your address on their treats map (you can be anonymous).

Up-to-date BlueSky Crop Aspect Ratio Crop Sizes for Bluesky as of 18 Oct 2024 By default, single images are uncropped. If image is too tall (Exceeds the 1:2 aspect ratio) then it will be cropped. Single images that are too tall may be scaled down but aspect ratio is preserved With two images, both of them share a square aspect ratio of 1:1 For three images, the first image is square (1:1) while the other two are half-squares (2:1) And for 4 images, all of them are 3:2
I came across an outdated guide on image grid sizing crop/proportions for bsky earlier, and I felt it was important to create an updated version! Please use this new guide instead!

So I wanted to use this place more. But sometime in January I started playing FFXIV. I don't have a full blown problem YET, but I am going to have to work out a gaming/art schedule again to be happy with myself. I am also painting the walls in my workroom which doesn't help my productivity either.

That may be why I have been quiet still. Or I don't know. I am going to try and make myself a schedule for using socials. Infrequent but regular check ins.

What do you see when you see a bird? Is it the grace of its flight? The intelligence in its gaze? The sharpness of its beak? The softness of its down? Each of us has been gifted a way of seeing birds, unique to our eye alone. When we are in the woods together, I can see my bird, but not yours.
But what if we draw our birds for each other? And the next time either of us is in the woods, we find our capacity to see has grown? Your drawing can teach me to notice strength, softness, swiftness, grace, I otherwise would miss. It does not need to be a "good" drawing. It has energy and life simply because it is yours.
What abundance, to be surrounded by the drawings of other people! Each overlapping in ways, but at their core, inherently unique. Each one, in its own small way, the gift of sight. Making our perception of the world a little sharper, brighter, deeper.
Ours is an age where, increasingly, capital would like to teach us how to see birds. Smooth, flat, digestible. But real nourishment will always come from each other. I want to see birds the way people do. I want to see birds the way you do.

I actually quite enjoyed it. Granted, it is the only Castlevania I have ever played, despite liking the aesthetics for a long time. But I was also in my Robert Carlyle phase at the time so nothing was going to stop me from liking it either.

On the bright side: I never caught it, I just had to close everyday.
