  • I found this list of prompts for this year’s feline alternative to Inktober, called Catober. It’s made by Karen Luk. I found it on LinkedIn through a web search.

  • I like this quote from One Piece, the live action series now on Netflix:

  • Listening to tech podcasts regaling about Apple’s 2023 iPhones and Watches is as interesting to me (read: not) as any unobtainium in this world. It’s an insta-skip.

  • Thinking of my next art challenge for the month of October. It’s Inktober, yet with cats and in pixel art instead of ink on paper.

  • I thought the new micro∙blog photo prompts were quite challenging, but if you stop being literal, it’s actually not hard. In case someone wanted a challenge: “wabi-sabi.” I’m not suggesting it, though, since I’m not any good at suggestions, because of misreading woke individuals on the Internet.

  • SepPixel for September 12, 2023, theme: “Panic."
    👾

    pixel art of Panic's Playdate gaming device

  • There’s a new set of 7 prompts for the micro∙blog photo blogging challenge for September 2023. There was a request for more prompts, but I failed miserably by suggesting a very negative word. I was never any good at words or writing or narrative. Not for lack of trying, though. There was more than enough of the latter, just too few successful attempts to matter.

    Words, how do they even work?

    As for my contribution in pixel art… Let’s say it’s a work in progress.
