And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

Do I know any professional (i.e paid by publishers) letterists who would be ok with me asking a lettering question by DM?

The team hopes enough chicks will survive this year to bring the world Kākāpō population to 300—a major milestone for a species that was teetering with just 51 individuals in 1995.

Into the Midnight Wood by Alexandra McCollum I know I said romcomantasy.

good morning! new from me in @strangehorizons.bsky.social today, a review of Alexandra McCollum's Into the Midnight Wood, in which I vent some frustrations with the current state of the cozy romcom fantasy novel

(I liked this one tho!)

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

New art tomorrow! 🌹

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

They may also not, this is based on associations and food frequency questionnaire data (which measures lots of things poorly, especially total energy) which was then converted to estimate ultra processed food intake and then substitution modeling as percentage of energy (see above).

Every so often some Reasonable Guy posts "AI haters look silly because they haven't kept up with how good it is now" and I just do not care! The only ways it interacts with my life are grift, slop, layoffs and violation. It helps you code faster, OK that must be nice for you, enjoy your groceries

Precipitation (probably hail) seen falling in the distance over the sea. The clouds above it are dark, as is the sea, and there are a few gulls flying around in the distance. Black and white image.

'Tis a bit stormy today. Love watching the passing storms over the sea in the distance. Waiting for another one to pass over before I head out again!

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green wake up next to each other in bed. Blue looks at Green drowsily, while Green yawns. Blue: Good morning. Getting up, Blue is already wide awake as Green still looks groggy. Green: Did we have anything particular planned for today? Blue: I don't think so. Green raises his tail to his chin in thought, as Blue turns to look over his shoulder. Green: How's the weather? Blue: Let's see. Blue returns from checking the weather, completely covered in snow. Blue: It's a lovely day to stay in with board games.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue appears on the scene as Green is glaring at a failed crafts project, which has been utterly mangled beyond recognition. Blue: What's wrong? Green: The jute rope basket I've been trying to weave fell apart. Blue sits down opposite of Green, also looking at the mangled basket attempt. Blue: The one that was shedding needly fibers everywhere? Green: Yep. Blue continues looking at the failed basket as Green raises his head to look at Blue incredulously. Blue: Aw, sorry to hear that. Green: Why? You hated that thing. Blue looks back up, and both foxes look at each other calmly. Blue: Just because I'm glad that it's gone doesn't mean I can't be sorry that you lost it.

Concept for ELRIC DEMONSLAYER matted in black and framed in gold.

Preliminary concept for ELRIC DEMONSLAYER. Elric's clothes are torn to shreds but he stands victorious straddling a green scaled demon with Stormbringer drawn back over his head ready to deal the killing blow.

The auction for the Elric Demonslayer prelim ends tonight at Heritage. I believe the live session starts at 7pm. Should be a fun watch. Current bid is $3,625 so it seems to be on track for a big result. ~ME

This is worth mentioning to your friends who traded their ChatGPT for Claude subscriptions - Claude helped kill all of those little girls at school in Iran. Anthropic isn’t ethical AI.

A photo of my kitchen worktop. Laid out on it are dozens of little squares of paper, with thumbnails of illustrations for my new book.

AI is so cooked.
I just finalised the page layout of my book in minutes, using little squares of paper AND MY BRAIN.

As someone who generally doesn’t like yogurt, I’m fond of them as a dessert-like treat. It’s really easy to have a spoonful or two. They had a summer flavour that was raspberry with mint and lime that I really liked. But usually (when on sale tbh) I’ll get blackberry or mango.

Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)
