I think you and I had a similar discussion on the old platform long before AI too. I love imperfect lines, a brushstroke that's slightly too long, the tool marks on a sculpture. It shows the humanity in the work, whether it's moments old or centuries.

Completely handmade picture replete with whimsy, mistakes and a pig bat creature. Best defence against AI slop.

I love Dore, I get lost in my art books of his work all the time.

Myrrha, from Dante's Inferno, by Gustave Dore.

What sucks about our current era is upon witnessing this truly magnificent footage I first had to spend several minutes just trying to figure out if it’s a buncha slop AI bullshit.

Everybody welcome @emilytheslayer.bsky.social to the team. She'll be doing remote work listing our jewelz and perhaps grace you all with her crafts one day!

I'm showing my daughter this, she started work for the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program about a month ago. She hasn't stopped talking about all the owls, hawks, and other birds since.

Sculpted base of the evil conquistadors sculpture on a wooden mini table next to Gorilla epoxy.

I don't think my plan of using normal epoxy to stick the rest of the bones in place will work out. A tiny bit of Apoxie Sculpt on each bone should work to adhere it permanently, but it might need a drop of water or two.

I like Monarch a lot better than any of the American Godzilla/Kong movies. It's still not Godzilla Minus One, but we're enjoying it.

Screenshot of so many ads and a tiny amount of content on a website.

I enjoy reading so easily on the web, I was nearly able to get an entire paragraph on screen just now. Next time I'm sure I'll get it.

I also decided a couple of weeks ago to sculpt over the plaster base. I'm going over it with Apoxie Sculpt, the acrylic layer over the plaster has kept flaking off too much (the black areas cover that). The top of the base is already Apoxie Sculpt. I'll also fix any metal supports sticking out.

There are quite a few things I need to fix as I go too. Being that I've had a lot going on, the conquistadors have taken years to work on a piece at a time. That's led to some damage, like the broken off sculpted cloth wrap around the tall one and some inconsistent paint issues.

Once my downstairs office warms up, I'll keep adding to the evil conquistador's base. Also, I'm still fooling with the new phone's camera.

It's been a busy day at Marsh Madness, the annual sandhill crane festival hosted by Friends of Goose Pond. It's our first big show of the year and we debuted a few new magnets and stickers! 🐡🎨🪶

And payment for anthologies comes before profit. So if the resources aren't there, the publisher shouldn't be in the business of accepting stories. That money needs to be allocated first. Same as not dipping into royalties to cover publishing expenses.

Once again asking people to give it a watch so I can keep my monetisation (you might enjoy it too)

Today I sculpted for an hour at the foundry, while chatting with my foundry mates about jury service. After an hour the sculpt was finished and I realised I’d sculpted it while thinking about other things entirely. So who sculpted it? It looks ok, I promise. Can’t show you yet ,here’s the tools

A coffin holding a dead 'princess' fell from an eroded cliff over 100 years ago — archaeologists just solved a major mystery about her Dendrochronological analysis of a mysterious log coffin that tumbled from a cliff a century ago reveals clues to life in Roman-era Poland.

In 1899, a log coffin fell out of a cliff near the Baltic Sea. Researchers have been studying the coffin -- and the woman inside -- ever since. 🧪🏺
