Also these are my 'new' shoes for winter, after thrifting and refurbishing them. Nowadays durable shoes don't need to be bought anew, these were 3 to 5 bucks a pair. Real leather, mind you.

“Non-functional,” oil on wood panel.
This is the last of the paintings I worked on this summer. It felt nice to let social media take a back seat for a while so I could focus on art without any added pressure.

What might be my favourite fossil has been just published by Kiat et al. 2025. Years ago I saw a pic of this Anchiornis specimen in nat geo article and I audibly gasped.preserving not only the feathers but also the original patterns as well. I made this drawing on the spot. Maybe its time to do v2.0

My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.
