Most Important Rule of my new Discord community for lil robots and company.
Screenshot of a Discord post that reads: "Absolutely No Gen "AI" Any words, images, sounds, or animations generated via "AI" are absolutely NOT permitted. Generative "AI" is theft of creative labor, which is not tolerated here. Enjoyment of fictional, genuine AIs is of course very much welcome! If you love GLaDOS from Portal, The Machine from Person of Interest, or a good ol' Soong-type android? Yeah, big same. Please do discuss these electronic intelligences and the metaphors they represent, and leave the slop at the door. Thank you. ❤️"

Pet portrait commission via Ko-fi for @mehndi.bsky.social featuring a friend's Piggie. c:

Eternally so happy to paint pet portraits, it's really relaxing to do. <3
Painted portrait of a fluffy guinea pig on a green and pink backdrop. Piggie has blond hair streaked with orange and dark brown, and a truly wild fluff mohawk. One of the forepaws is perched on a toy ball.

For sighthound enjoyers in the EU, I'm in the Netherlands so these would reach you in plenty of time for the holidays. They're not the only greyhound sticker in my shop either! #shopsmalleu
Hand holding out a vinyl sticker of a fawn brindle greyhound surrounded by flowers, with a banner clamped in their mouth that reads, "Heck, Just Run With It".

I've finally gotten a chance to add US shipping profiles to my Ko-fi shop that account for tariffs, so it is now open again!

For the holidays I've also added an additional bulk discount on multiples of my Coated Noodles vinyl sticker sheet: €6 off if you order 3!

The possum friend was especially an adventure, as they read in the lineart and then immediately did not once board colors were applied. It was a puzzle to accomplish with only two pantones + metal to work with!
Process steps on puzzling out the raccoon and opossum PCB designs! From upper left to lower right: circuit traces in black (though not the original for the raccoon idk where I have that now), designs with metal and pantones added, larger areas designated as solid metal to attempt to improve the design read (and the opossum face swapped to the recessed metal + clear enamel), then the final mockup wherein the opossum now has solid metal arm socks and both buddies have recessed metal pupils.

Took a sec to poke through my Photos app and find more hedgie footage - the other three I've all seen near our home while out walking Oz at night! They're sort of urban critters here in the same way raccoons and opossums are in parts of the US.

Four times now!! Including a sweet little blind one in the yard of the first place I stayed here. I guess the guy renting it out would often put out vegetable scraps for the hedgehogs.
Photo of a hedgehog without eyes sitting in the grass! Blind hedgie sniffing the air. Another photo of the blind hedgie!

I forgot to take pictures of it plated because it smelled good and I was hungry BUT here's a non-glamorous photo of the just-finished entrees. XD

Casserole: www.campbells.com/recipes/gree... (kind of, I'll specify more in next skeet)
Photo of a small electric range top with a pan and casserole dish standing on top. The pan contains some thoroughly coated salmon filets, and the casserole dish contains, well, a casserole, its fried onion crust the main thing visible here.

I've transitioned the Soft Circuit page into pre-launch party mode so that I could start sharing more updates and sneak peeks!

Interested plush robot or more PCB-style pins? Check it out and follow along here!! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c... 💚
Banner featuring three views of a robot wolf pup plush concept drawing: a 3/4 view of them wearing a little printed circuit board bandana, a straight on view, and a back view showcasing their little geometric toe beans! The title "Soft Circuit" stands in the upper right hand corner, and a few shiny circuit traces border the green, faintly pixelated background.

A couple more pumpkin-based closeups! Happy Thanksgiving all. <3
Closeup crop from a painting focused on couple of decorative gourds on a side table, a yellow squash and a nice, round orange pumpkin. Crumbs, candy wrappers, and partially eaten bread rolls are also in evidence. Painting crop focused on a hand holding up a pumpkin pie, resplendent in warm, late-afternoon light streaming in from the windows to either side.

The next row showcases pins of a raccoon and opossum reaching out towards each other, and copper plated variants of the hyena and web pins.

Ah, That Tracks, rather.

Fondly remembering the time Mennonites showed up in the Anthrocon lobby.
The classic typo in the group chat meme image, resplendent with flaming blue skeleton face, that also says "You see this shit?? Now you went and fucked up".

Lmao Dutch Jehovah's Witnesses pamphlet, copy written to a group in Pennsylvania and printed in Germany. That's tracks.
Hand holding a pamphlet that reads, "Komt er ooit een eind aan pijn en verdriet?" which translates to: "Does pain and sadness come to an end?" There is an illustration of a crying woman beneath the title and then, "Wat denkt u? Ja, Nee, Misschien" - " What do you think? Yes, no, maybe" Hand showing the back of the pamphlet with the thumb pointing to a line where it reads copyright 2013, 2017 Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, Priinted in Germany.

When you look in the mirror and realize you sort of have the visual vibes of both Johns from They Might Be Giants, somehow.
