Macro shot of a tiny bonnet mushroom with a sparkly, lilac grey, bell-shaped cap, soft glowing gills and a powdery, grey stem surrounded by moss.

Another screenshot I took of Scully from The X-Files capturing a moment when blue computer screen light is reflected in her oval-shaped glasses covering up her eyes. It all looks very 90s and slick.

Fascinating fact is that rosy bonnets are bioluminescent, emitting a faint green light at night. So they’re really the pink pixies of the forest :)

Closeup shot of a rosy bonnet mushroom with a curled-up cap, highlighting its soft pink, glowing gills, and a tall, tapered white stem, growing through a carpet of leaf litter on a forest floor.

Really enjoying The Blank Menu for You, a Korean talk show where guests place open-ended orders that chef Choi Kang Rok interprets into custom dishes. It’s very calming and slow, with cute awkward jokes and endearing stories revolving around memories of food.

I’ve been listening to a LotR audiobook and I keep dozing off during The Council of Elrond. It’s been weeks now but I love it.

Closeup shot of a budding branch covered in icy snow. Out of focus in the background a canal with late afternoon sun reflected in the water.

Love that moment our cat pauses during a cleaning session and stares at you intently. It feels like a moment of connection, but you soon realize she’s just collecting more saliva.

Haha thanks 🙌 Only wish I had a tiny hat for it. Good reminder to always bring tiny hats.

A tiny snow buddy with sticks for arms pointing up, a short twig nose and broken pumpkin seeds as eyes. It’s looking sad, funny and excited at the same time.

Macro shot of a few minuscule bonnet mushrooms with glowing white, hood-shaped caps and sparkly, translucent, curved stems growing up a dark furrow in a tree covered in moss.

Two small bonnet mushrooms with cone-shaped caps and brown stems stick out among thick fallen pine needle branches on a woodland floor. Their faintly striped caps fade from light brown to a whitish serrated edge. The warm brown colors and pine needles make the scene feel very cozy.

Macro shot of various tiny white mushrooms with sparkly convex caps and glistening hollow curved stems emerging from a dark fissure in the bark of a tree covered in moss. I drew eyes on their caps so they look like cute little fungi spirits.

A single tiny mycena mushroom with a cream-colored, umbonate cap and a long, hollow beige stem grows among autumn leaves on a forest floor. There’s a minuscule fungus gnat with long antennae perched upside down on the edge of the cap.

Three pressed ginkgo leaves of various sizes are laid out on a sketchbook. They are fan-shaped with veins radiating out into the leaf blade and have that beautiful autumn deep saffron yellow color.

I pressed some ginkgo leaves I found during a walk a few weeks ago. They’re so pretty! 🍂

Collection of nine closeup photos I took of nature scenes. Most feature the pixie cup lichen with tall light green stalks gradually flaring into goblet-shaped cups growing from a leafy patch on rotting wood. There’s one macro shot of a yellow-green inchworm looking like a mini brachiosaurus.

I love that I have so many of my own nature photo as refs and inspiration for art that I’m making. This way I can avoid all the fake ugly slop that’s invading the net. Good life hack 🌿

Some of Miyamoto's early drawings of Mario for the original Donkey Kong. There are color sprites of Mario walking, Paulina and Donkey Kong, and various sketches.

These drawings are amazing. Miyamoto quote from an interview: “I was a rather analog person and did not know anything about technology. So, I learned how the screen was displayed from an in-house engineer. That's how I started doing pixel art.”

Since I enjoy making physical art lately, I decided to draw pixel characters on 5mm square graph paper. It’s very fun and puzzly, and it made me think of how the Super Mario Bros. sprites were first sketched :)

Screenshot of another part of the attic in my Animal Crossing house. It’s a very cozy, dimly lit art space with antique brown furniture and tall windows. In front is a table with modeling clay and a sculpted dino, there’s a wooden sewing box in the right corner and an art canvas with my rendition of Jiji (Kiki’s cat) on the left. My player character is sitting in an old school chair looking off into the distance in front of a desk that has a drawing board with my illustration of a fall tree.
