Cthulhumas is just around the corner. Here are a couple of my Hello Kthulhu backgrounds to help get you in the spirit.

"Charles Bank Gallery"

Another interesting building from NYC. From the graffiti to the water tank, I was drawn to it.

And then I focused on the yellow things. Because... SQUIRREL!!!

"Glory of Commerce"

Minerva, Hercules, and Mercury overlooking one of the entrances to Grand Central Terminal in NYC. It's a particularly photogenic structure, IMO. One could just roam for days there.

"5th Avenue"

The Flatiron Building is the star here even though it's dwarfed by the other buildings in the full expanse of the city on the southern end of Long Island.

"Rain in Times Square"

Have this print hanging on my wall, but I'm sure it's not for everyone. It's made up of several shots of Times Square, taken at night while it was raining. Not ideal. Then I processed it to look sketchy/watercolory. An experiment, if you will.

"Creeping Darkness"

Current mood.

More from NYC coming as I've hit that section of my collection as I reorganize.

Cursing at my Google Hub while it's listening really just throws coal on that fire.

"Scene from Bowling Green"

Because it's in the background below, you get a 2-for-the-price-of-1 post. A shot of the Standard Oil Building.

The Big Apple is such a great place for photographing diverse architecture.

I ❤️ NY

"The Sphere"

This sculpture used to seen in between the World Trade Center towers prior to 9/11 but can now be found in Battery Park.

"Sketchy Bird" 📷🖼️

It's a bird (a house finch?).

It's sketchy.

And it's also sketchy.

If you know what I mean. 👀

"Fiber Optic Foliage"

Another experiment where I've tried to make a moderately pleasant scene slightly more interesting.

JFC! And this is how I had to follow the game. Waiting for every refresh.

Go Rams!

"High Key Dandelion"

3 billion and 1st!

And I can't promise it will be the last one. I do like me some weed.

"Weed Explosion"

I know. The title is click-baity, I'm delivering the 3 billionth picture you've seen of a dandelion, and my self-awareness is probably small consolation. But it's a slow day and I'm still organizing my files so it is what it is.

BlueSky is where you come to block "The Left" for being just as stupid and dishonest as MAGA.

Exhibit 482,192 - The meme on the left. The actual photo on the right after a whole fucking 30 seconds of searching.

Matthew 21:31-32

Sure. Leave it to the atheist to use the bible to point out how stupid this is. It's not news. It's time wasted that could have been used to report on and investigate real issues. Nevermind all the "people of faith" with actual criminal records currently in power.

"Gloria"

It's about time I start pimping my holiday merch.

But first an amuse-bouche. This is how I imagine things might have gone a couple thousand years ago in a field of sheep near the town of Bethlehem.

With respect to @theverge.com, @reckless.bsky.social & @davidpierce.xyz, the only panel of experts qualified to "certify" AGI would be Yahweh, Allah, Brahman, Amaterasu and maybe Siddhartha Gautama to round out the five.

Although swapping out any of those for Randy Jackson would also be acceptable.

So this was a Gorilla Tag thing. Super basic quality Meta Quest avatars. The bar was super low. The irony is that it would have taken so much longer to match the original with pixelated textures and whatnot.

Foam clay is fun and all, but I think I might get a 3D printer for next Halloween.
