Think a new pinned post is long overdue!

I'm a self-taught Swedish artist with a backround in academic game development. I currently work part time as an art instructor with senior citizens while developing a tabletop roleplaying game.

Visiting my parents over weekend. Cooked curry and wine mussel sauce to go with my father's pan-fried cod. Served with a shot of Akita sake and cider.
Photo of a dish of white rice garnished with a celary leaf, with a side of fried cod, and mussels, celary, leek and carrots in creamy sauce. Next to it is a glass of cider and a small glass of sake.

Today we celebrate the jaguar. ✊🐆

We’re excited to share a selection of images from Brazilian wildlife photographer Rodolfo Paz.

With a love for big cats and nature, Rodolfo travels the world in search of capturing unique moments like these. 🧡

#InternationalJaguarDay
Close up portrait of a jaguar’s face, its paws just visible at the bottom of the frame. The jaguar is lying face, facing the camera but looking to the bottom right. The lighting is soft but bright, showing off its bright orange eyes and black markings. A jaguar sat amongst green leaves in the forest yawning with its mouth wide open, its tongue hangs out and its canines visible. Its limbs covered by the greenery. The lighting is bright but not strong, the colours are vivid. A close up of a jaguar peering out between brown branches, looking to the left of the lens. The sunlight is soft but catches the top of the jaguar's head which extenuates its markings. Tones in the image are mostly browns and blacks. A jaguar’s head raised above the water as it swims in a river to the left of the frame, the water is brown and the lighting is warm and bright. The sunlight catches across the water and the top of the jaguar’s head.

Visiting my parents over the weekend. Cooked chanterelle sauce for roe deer lunch.

Came out okay.

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

I will be forever grateful Michael Whelan allowed us to repurpose that evocative image on the cover to the first issue of Science Fiction Age magazine, which I'm finding difficult to accept launched a third of a century ago. I wish I was editing it still!
Cover to the first issue of Science Fiction Age magazine, cover-dated November 1992. Can that really be a third of a century ago? The text reads: Premiere Issue! Ray Bradbury The Art of Robert McCall Asimov Remembered Jerry Pournelle Looks to the Future Star Trek A New Adventure Aliens Undercover By Gene O'Neil Dragon Slayer By Resa Nelson TIME TRAVEL Top Scientists Unravel the Paradox Cover price was $2.95. As for the image itself, I can't imagine doing any better than what was on the full painting I'm quoting: A robot stands with one hip slightly cocked and hands clasped over its forehead as if shielding its eyes. Sunlight reflects off its metallic body. Behind and slightly below him, A thick-trunked alien tree spreads its canopy wide and flat, mirroring the form of the robot's arms, elbows pointed out. From the top down, the sky is a lime to lemon gradient that bleeds to orange and purple haze at the horizon. The mound of dirt in the foreground is sparsely covered with leaves and berries, framing a human face.

Now more than ever, support artists and small businesses. This is a battle for survival of authenticity and soul in art (and for the ability to survive as an artist in this dumb country)

Alternatively, taking a genet out to lunch or dinner, but then having to get them off the table once the food arrives, because they're doing that solitary critter food aggression thing, propped up sideways, arching, bristletailed, hissing defensively at anything that moves towards the food.

Trying to take a genet anywhere, but you can't convince them to climb down off that tree and stop bristling at anything moving nearby.

I'm bad with dates, so only learned today it's thanksgiving.

We don't observe in Sweden, but on the occasion I can't help but remember just how bad Swedish understanding of this part of US culture and its history is.

The quality of my work is almost always ~0.9:1 inversely proportional to how much time I spend thinking about who the broader target audience is.

When you make something for mass appeal first and formost you sacrifice the sort of story that can reach people like HI3's did.

You can't really focus on something that a certain group of people can understand because, again, mass appeal.

It even affects the sort of characters you can have.

Campbell's CEO denigrates their poor customers, then fires the IT guy that released the audio.

If you have any self respect, donate your Campbell's soup to those in need and boycott until it goes bankrupt.

These corporations have declared financial war on us.
