A young woman in a pink bikini sitting by the pool.

A friend at the pool. #art #drawing #sketch

I was sketching out by our rooftop pool today. This is loosely based on a drawing I saw, but can't find anymore to credit the artist. I was going for a loose pinup style that would fit on my wall of witches. #nsfw #sketch #witch #boobs

Circus elephant with breasts and an earring.

I decided to draw an elephant, but she still wound up voluptuous. #art #boobs #elephant #nsfw

A nude, blushing witch being spanked by her broomstick.

Drawing a naughty witch, inspired by another drawing I saw but can't find anymore. (She's so naughty, her broomstick starting spanking her.) #witch #nsfw #art

View of Rocket Mortgage Arena in the late afternoon.

Not too shabby living here in Cleveland at the Skyline. Below is Rocket Mortgage Arena, with the Cuyahoga River off behind it. I'm enjoying the pre-sunset.

Another colored pencil drawing, this time of a friend who lives in my building.

I suppose it depends on whether the male writers are writing for accuracy or for their presumably predominantly male audience. It is possible the latter approve of the fantasy. (I'm kidding, at least sort of.)

Drawing of the torso of a nude woman.

My latest drawing with pencils and colored pencils. I'm trying for quicker sketches focused less on accuracy, but I still hate my inability to draw hands. #art #nsfwart #nsfw

Trying out different styles. I admire an artist named Shrey Sharma who does ink drawings a bit like this, so I tried one with a colored pencil and am rather pleased with it. #art #drawing

Witch under the moon with her cat under her hat on the ground.

I mostly draw with pencil, usually various levels of black pencil, and then I sometimes add color or color highlights with colored pencils. (I am colorblind, so what I see may not be what you see, and it is likely I am seeing less color than you.) But I am thinking of trying ink drawing. #art #witch

Sorry, I don't have much to offer. I mostly work with Postgres through Java/Spring, and use pgAdmin for admin stuff. I don't even try to do the Notes-like stuff in anything else. (I still do Notes work, but all backend and not for the same projects.)

Six paintings and drawings with a theme of witches placed on a wall.

Having just moved to a new apartment, I'm faced with where to put all my art. My girlfriend suggested a witchy wall since I have quite a few witches, often with cats. Here is the wall in progress, as I still haven't unpacked all the witchy art. (Some is only witchy in context.)

"Fell"?

A "space shot" made by the bartender at Epcot's Space220 bar.

I've never seen a bartender do this trick with the phone's flashlight, but between that and the glitter, Chris at Space220 in Epcot made this the coolest. #shotshotshot

This is so awesome.

Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom viewed at dusk from the ferry.

I took a photo of Disney World's Magic Kingdom, and I think it turned out nicely. #photography

That is wild. It doesn't surprise me that it repeats a falsehood, but that it repeats your falsehood is cool.

Whatever makes you happier is worth doing.

Almost 40 years ago, now. A great concert. #concert #live-aid

Tis the season

It is fascinating to watch Bluesky battle through the rapid scaling issues. They seem to be doing quite well, but it reminds me of the ads IBM used to run about exponential growth for a startup.

I spent years using Notes/Domino databases. They were great back in the day, but I am relieved to be using SQL now most of the time.

Three friends in Halloween outfits. I am dressed as Vacation Man.

Post a picture of yourself to show the newbies who they're dealing with.

(I am the man in the hat.)

I accomplished the first important task on any social media platform: post something risque so your kids won't follow you. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the second task. Does anybody want to play the role of NPC and give me a quest? It can't involve sheep, but it can involve poetry if need be.

Good call. It is only suggestive, but they want it marked that way, and I'd rather they were overly good about marking nsfw than not-so-good.

When I'm not programming or writing or dancing, I dabble in drawing. This is "She-Tree", done with pencils, colored pencils, and graphite.
