Back in Ireland and working full time on my mythology game Bibdu! Finishing up the final quest list and mapping it all out during Solstice season has been very peaceful. Excited to get back to painting once this stage is complete!

red and green in the universe ❤️💚✨
The Earth from the ISS with a green and red with many stars and a galaxy in the background. iss065e214281 (Aug. 2, 2021) --- The aurora australis streams across the Earth's atmosphere as the International Space Station orbited 271 miles above the southern Indian Ocean in between Asia and Antarctica. This glowing emerald nebula seen by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope is reminiscent of the glowing ring wielded by the superhero Green Lantern. The green ring is where dust is being hit by winds and intense light from the massive stars. The green color represents infrared light coming from tiny dust grains called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These small grains have been destroyed inside the bubble. The red color inside the ring shows slightly larger, hotter dust grains, heated by the massive stars. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Caption credit: NASA NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission presents the "Wreath nebula." The green ring (evergreen) is made of tiny particles of warm dust whose composition is very similar to smog found here on Earth. The red cloud (bow) in the middle is probably made of dust that is more metallic and cooler than the surrounding regions. The bright star in the middle of the red cloud, called HD 278942, is so luminous that it is likely what is causing most of the surrounding ring to glow. In fact its powerful stellar winds are what cleared out the surrounding warm dust and created the ring-shaped feature in the first place. The bright greenish-yellow region left of center (holly) is similar to the ring, though more dense. The bluish-white stars (silver bells) scattered throughout are stars located both in front of, and behind, the nebula. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA Caption credit: NASA

Can't imagine the pressure you'd feel under as a kid going on TV like this, especially talking about something very personal to him. Fair play #LateLateToyShow #ToyShow

The Irish embassy in Germany puts on a screening of the Late Late Toy Show tomorrow and has been doing it for years. That's brilliant.

Look, the pay off of this whole 6 7 thing better be us raising 6.7 million for the Toy Show appeal before the end of the show.

That's just good storytelling.

As long as there have been children, there have been toys. As it's the #LateLateToyShow we thought we'd share some of our favourite toys in the @nmireland.bsky.social

Many toys through history copy adult life, like this wonderful toy boat and sword from Viking Dublin

That was such a lovely example of how to just give overstimulated neurodivergent kids a second when they're overwhelmed instead of getting impatient like people usually do #LateLateToyShow

here is the finished artwork rotated i guess it does read better lol
Painting of a young girl wading through the water of a pond, we mostly focus on her reflection which shows her looking over her shoulder determinedly. She has an archery bow slung over her back and is holding an arrow. In the reflection we can see that cabins in a forest are a-blaze
