BIG thanks to the kind reader who bought my book "SUNKEN HALLS OF THE DEMI-LICH" in my #BlackFriday sale!

A challenging delve into the dilapidated tomb of an ancient archmage, stuck between death & true lichdom, and mad as heck about it! 😜 #DnD #D&D #ttrpg #OSR #OSRIC #DungeonsandDragons

LINK ⏬
Cover of the Starry Knight Press book "Sunken Halls of the Demi-Lich", featuring the demi-lich Dimarius, holding his staff of withering. SYNOPSIS: You are enjoying some down time at the Golden Harp Inn, in the seaside village of Dùn Mara, along the western border of the nation of Dùn Bhriste. You’ve just been treated to a rather stirring tale by the skald-in-residence, one Justin Rakes, who sang of the doomed archmage Dimarius, who tried and failed to gain immortality. It comes as somewhat of a surprise when Justin approaches you after his show, and asks to join you. Intrigued, you offer him a seat, whereupon he tells you he pegged you as adventuring heroes from your gear and demeanor, and he chose to sing the “Ballad of Dimarius” tonight, because he has a proposition for you. He tells you Dimarius’ tale is real, that the demi-lich still lives and that he knows the location of this unspoiled tomb! Here is his pitch: Justin will give you his information and a magic sword, but he gets the exclusive artistic rights to record the tale of your taking on the demi-lich. Are you ready at your own shot at immortality, being preserved in prose for all time for, ironically, taking down a deathless demi-lich?

Our lucky 13th year participating in this global event - Flood The Streets With Art founded by Scott Wong in 2012 as an "anti-Black Friday" movement where art is left around areas where big box stores lurk and encourage people to slow down and look around, and enjoy some free art to take home

Sadly, all the Learn Blender people were right. You couldn't pay me to go back to Maya or 3Ds Max. And I couldn't pay me either, because their license costs are insane

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

I wanted to do some little tip sheets on quick-sketching people from life. So here you go! First, an introduction to my outline-centric approach -- I'll get into technique points later. (1/3)

Put this to bed now.

AI is not intelligent. Can't think. Can't create.

Can only regurgitate variations of what was trained on.

Is pretty amazing tech, no doubt. Can find previously-unobserved relationships in patterns.

But is just pattern recognition.

Currently isn't viable as technology.

Through A LOT of trial and error, I finally figured out how to print my own zines. Now I shall be UNSTOPPABLE!

I'll get these listed in my webshop tomorrow because I know exactly nobody has been waiting anxiously for me to print these zines that took untold hours to make.
My August arthropod art zine, front, back and inside. The front features a big, glorious bug, the back has text saying how great I am, and the inside shows a sample of two inverts hand drawn in ink, with little written summaries about them. Three copies of my August arthropod art zine which took hours and hours to learn how to format and print myself and will never, ever pay for themselves

This art show I declare closed!

Today we went to take down what was unsold and pick up the prints and tee shirts. (We also picked up the money we made for what _did_ sell, not insubstantial fare).

Warning: AI is not intelligent.

As lifelong computer geek (started programming when was 12, way back on original Apple ][ so am ancient), first thing learned was *how computers work*.

Have kept up. Know how AI works. Have blank network; train with data. Is all word association.

Saw something that @realgdt.bsky.social said the other day, and remembered I had something I started a while ago that I should finish up.

I'm so tired of all this.
