• Pixel art. I spent too much time on this piece. One thing I learned is that lettering in perspective is hard and the result rather disappointing. I suppose it’s best to avoid it, whenever possible.

  • I suppose, like Facebook, Twitter is on a decline. I can’t blame users for being annoyed by all the advertising and tracking, combined with bullying by long-lost acquaintances who think of themselves as “good friends.” It really is a cess pool of the worst of humanity.

  • Plant photo. My guess is that this some kind of hyacinth, found today, growing in the wild on a piece of urban development area, most likely for future housing.

  • I didn’t know what tab groups were, so I looked it up. To easily open several tabs at the same time. Obviously, a web browser power user feature, so I can skip it. I seldom have more than one tab open. Now for other useless (to me) iOS features, there are a lot, too many, alas.

  • Pixel art. The 24th day of April Fool’s Month had a Pixel Dailies theme “table.” I tried to make it a fancy table in isometric perspective.

  • Pixel art. On day 23 of April Fool’s Month the Pixel Dailies theme was “sea food.” I interpreted as “sea banquet”, which is a kind of chocolate delicatessen in the shapes of stylized sea creatures.

  • Pixel art. I made this piece to practice design and lettering, both subjects that need practicing a lot in my case (I’m weak in these). My inspiration were the Viking myths. FYI, horned helmets on warriors were never a thing in reality, nor would they’ve been practical.

  • Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “garnish.” I combined it with the feisty Evanlyn from John Fanagan’s The Ranger’s Apprentice medieval fantasy series.

  • Pixel art. I made a black and white drawing with Grafx2 on my Raspberry Pi 400, using a mouse. I refined it on my iPad using Pixaki, and created a simple (though crude) animation.

  • The day before yesterday I fell while running and yesterday I strained my hamstring (again, after I did two weeks ago). I feel bruised and strained like an apple that fell from a tree. Yay for foam rollers and pain medicine πŸƒ

  • Pixel art. The Pixel Dailies theme for day 21 of April Fool’s Month is “prize”, which I interpreted as a token for a final position in a competition (in this case, first place).

  • Social bonding through grooming. One grooms, the other purrs, softly, because it’s for the other cat, not for a (in feline perspective) deaf human. 🐱

  • Pixel art. For the 20th day of April Fool’s Month the Pixel Dailies theme was “Healing Item.” I’m pretty sure this is a fantasy videogame thing, so I went for a more mundane solution, a band-aid.

  • Pixel art for the 19th day of April Fool’s Month. I suppose this piece got “shatnered.” It’s today’s theme of Pixel Dailies, “shattered” which I basterdized with some James T. Kirk.

  • I wanted to share my art on Twitter without interaction. I can’t use MB categories, it seems, unless I disable the main blog feed. Twitter doesn’t have a public feed either, so no source for MB. The MVP πŸ˜’ solution was to share from the Photos app to Twitter with hashtags 🀒 Yuck!
