• 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!

  • Had my 2nd booster shot against COVID πŸ’‰πŸ¦  Travel took less time than I imagined, despite the train delay and a detour (road construction). I guess I needed 3.5 hours in total. With a car it would’ve been more like 45 minutes. Soon protected against the new omicron variant 😊

  • It’s official, I’ve turned off the payment renewal of my Wordpress.com site and .blog domain. Both will expire next year. I don’t trust WP’s plans after they announced price increases, and, worse, denounced blogging. They advertize themselves as “website hosting company.”

  • Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “hair accessory.” I simply drew closely to the photo reference, though not copying, rather re-interpreting the photo.

  • Pixel art animation. Practicing sub-pixel animation with a 32x32 pixels canvas. It’s supposed to illustrate “storm.” It all started with the umbrella. Don’t many story ideas do? Umbrellas are magical story devices, protecting us from the elements and possible assailants.
