I love the name of this song; Dry Riser Inlet.

More songs should be named like this.

Automated External Defibrillator
Remote Isolation Valve
Tensile Stress Warning

Thanks for the words of support.

Perhaps it's time to do something new

I lost some really good GLIC presets because I'm having external SSD troubles. I'm so bummed out. I've been struggling with motivation to make art as it is and this is just another blow

Sometimes people ask me what my favourite artwork is.

Without a doubt, it's this piece フェンス (Fence) by J.R. Higashi Nihon (the JR stands for Junichi Ryu) from 2022

It speaks to me on so many levels

Photo of a fence with a sign on it with Japanese text. The text translates to

The Mouse has spoken

Screenshot of NES game Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. Mickey Mouse is sharing his thoughts on freedom of speech. The text reads "oh boy! Profits rise when voices fall silent. They call it censorship, I call it marketing"

Funny, I don't remember that part of the game.

I finally learned how to use GLIC, following @tokyonomad.bsky.social's FUBAR tutorial :D

Got a HUGE amount of images to work with for my next piece.
