#Frankenstein2025 Study

A painting of the creature from the 2025 Frankenstein movie

I want to make Frankenstein fanart to express my love for the new movie (and my long time love of the book), but I don't think I have the technical skill to do it justice.

Making stuff is rad as fuck
At any experience level

You can acknowledge that you want to improve on something, but you should never be the one to put your art or abilities down

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --

Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

Just saw Frankenstein in theaters and damn. I had high expectations when I learned about this film and they were absolutely blown out of the water. I think I'm going to watch this through a few more times to really let it sink in.

If this is AI, or if people just don't want to be playing a card created by someone who uses AI, I'm willing to do alters for anyone who makes a donation to a charity/nonprofit (food bank, wikipedia, ect).
Same with other cards like Trouble in Pairs. No promises on the quality, but I'll do my best!

Recently acquired some paint markers and gave my first pass at a token alter! I love these little robots.

I've been thinking about Kotis again...

Kotis from Magic the Gathering submerged up to his chest in water, leaves and flowers in the background.

Kotis stands in front of Teval, holding his sword at the ready. His arm obscures most of his face, and he stares down at the viewer with his prosthetic emerald eye.

Kotis portrait with his hair blowing in the wind.

Kotis laying asleep in a clearing, covered in pink flowers.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.

I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

We Have Enough Dead Friends
By Lena Oleanderson

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat's a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don't have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living's been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn't have to be that bad,
it doesn't have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don't have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I'm on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating's been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.

NGC 45 - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/phBH5s

This could be the poster child of low surface brightness galaxies if the Triangulum Galaxy (M33) didn't take that place already. I find it to be exceptionally diffuse, even more so than M33, but it also has a clear spiral structure and is also large enough that amateurs can also easily observe it. A lot of LSBs are simple irregular dwarfs amounting to nothing more than the faintest of nondescript smudges. See: Rob Gendler's, James Foster's, and Bernd Flach-Wilken's. There are more but I just picked the first three in the result list. Hubble's version provides a lot of detail but the amateur images are perhaps more pleasant to view, capturing the whole galaxy and not being riddled with cosmic rays and noise like this image.

I actually tried working on these datasets a long time ago thinking it was some glorious, missed spiral galaxy in the archive because the thumbnails at the HLA (Hubble Legacy Archive) are deceptively bright. When you open the FITS file expecting this grand design to illuminate your screen, it's a pretty big letdown to be confronted with this strange, dim creature. Now that I understand low surface brightness galaxies a little better, I am interested in them and I want to share them with everyone so it was time to revisit the data. It's still a bit ugly but it's not the galaxy's fault. There just aren't enough exposures to easily remove the cosmic rays and it's really quite noisy as well because of this. There's not much that can be done to fix the noise...

A Moonbow

12x16" ink on claybord

a black and white scratchboard drawing of a mountain range at night
in the foreground, bright moonlight shines on rocks
in the background tall rocky mountains are illuminated by moonlight and between the foreground and the background there is a faint moonbow and raindrops shimmering in the light

MTG Mutual aid time.

Shit’s bad, but people rock. I’m opening 10 slots for painted tokens.

Just send me a receipt of a donation of $10 or more to a food bank, an address to send the token to, and what type you would like.

My email is [email protected]

These will be #1 priority for me. 🤘
