Oh, it's #PortfolioDay!

I'm Jamie, I work as a freelance graphic designer and digital painter.

i've worked on a bunch of stuff I can't post yet, so here are some of the projects I've done recently that I'm enjoying :) One day I might have a collection that matches, but it is not today XD

A book cover piece showing a pair of young boys readying themselves against danger, wielding water magic. Below and around them are witches, monsters, statues of religious figures and branches of trees that are reaching towards them.

A rampant unicorn, with blood smeared around its mouth and hooves, showing that it has recently feasted. It is a monstrous animal, with pale fur and golden mane hair, and a vicious horn sprouting from the top of its head. It has a scroll cover it with the words ' Eat The Rich' emblazoned on it.

An statue of a muscular angel, sat atop a huge stone, as he peers down on the world.

An image of The Governor, a small tabby tabaxi monk in ornate garb with various influences. He wears tightly wrapped bands on his arms and hands, showing that he fights with his fists, but to the side it shows a gleaming, almost molten gold blade, that he uses as a spear or sword.

I would love to have a sign like your "Eat the Rich" art for No Kings day this weekend. Your art is great, thank you for sharing!

I saw the art and knew immediately who it was, what she is from, so I think you nailed it.

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

The number of LGBTQ+ friends who have harry potter tattoos is crazy. I also have some straight friends who just cannot let harry potter go which makes me think less of them for supporting her.

When I saw the list I was so angry. Now I am just resigned that the list of actors who I will no longer support in any way continues to grow. The list from the full cast audio edition is such a fucking letdown as well. Even more people that I USED to think were decent.

Good morning. U.S. District Judge April Perry just took the bench for oral arguments in Illinois v. Trump, over the deployment of the National Guard.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 5d

Ok, I'm in my seat and waiting as they fill up the gallery of Judge Perry's courtroom. Stay tuned.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 5d

Standing by this morning, waiting for Judge Perry’s courtroom to open for arguments today in Illinois v Trump.

Doors should open in 30 minutes or so.

I devoured every post in this thread. I will +1 the thought that this needs to be brought into existence somehow. I also applaud your warning against some techbro idiot trying to do so with AI.

Not the same as KEXP but I have been enjoying The Charismatic Voice for a while now. I like the technical explanations along with her presentation and obvious joy when she listens to some gem of a song for the first time. It does skew a bit toward metal though.

It's so good, and that song is so iconic. The music is one of those songs that gives me the ASMR brain shivers when I hear it.

Now that you pointed this out there are several Cannons songs I'd like to hear slowed down and darker. Excellent choice.
