Kicking myself that I didn't do a Manchego cheese pixel!
Gotta show off the basket weave texture rind

I have a page in my sketch book trying to break down how i want this to work. I think I'm at 20+ cheeses rn

Animal care and ingredients and even the SEASON would effect the final make

What if farming sims had more complicated animal/plant product production.

What if instead of cheese making being a time based mechanic but was a crafting one

What if you could unlock rare items that aren't just "gold star thee best" but finding rare items/drops you need to make the product.

Give Laser a show!!! >:0

Gouache painting of a bunch of green grass, close up image. There's a few yellow flowers dotted around in the grass.

My goal this year is to paint more. With AI running around, it's very grounding to paint something physically. There's only one in existence, cannot be recreated perfectly. It simply is.

Thanks!

Digital painting of a forest with a small stone structure with a green glowing orb in it. It's surrounded by bushes. A stone path leads to the structure.

First finished art piece in the new year. Started on an airplane and I was determined to get it done.

Here's to hopefully more to come in 2026 🌿

Note to self
Make more gouache paintings in 2026

Digital painting of a dark forest. Grey purple trees going up the canvas almost covering all of the dark far background. The ground is a dark grey, almost black with grass thats sligjtly illuminated. A creature is barely seen on the left side, the viewer can slightly see its shape, light dot for an eye, and a floating ring around it's neck.

Dark and unseen

Are tires the teeth of the auto world? Those special rubber parts, like how teeth are the special bones

EEEYYYAAAAASSS

Working on backgrounds is funny cause you can draw and paint a whole set, then confidently conclude that the best-rendered part is the trash can.

Some gals. I drew most of these as morning warmups over the course of a week or two. Mix of some faces drawn from reference and some drawn from imagination:

A couple of #ceramics from the kiln this week!

More people need to understand that ai in its core is deeply anti human and a fascist tool.
And with this it’s not a tool for more accessibility but is actually ableist.
You need to understand those connections because you can’t really on the argument that ai is and because it looks bad.

Truly the older I get, the more pro-human I become. It's bonkers to me how many people just want others to 'suck it up' and suffer.

I think watching the musical episode of Greys Anatomy has forever changed what I view is possible for television.
It's such a swing to take. I was screaming the whole time.

If you wait until you're ready to start, you never will.

For folks clicking through the thread, I recommend stopping by farmers' markets as well!
It's an easy way to support local, just bring some cash. I got this for $15.

If any of my fellow Los Angeleans love Porto's but hate the crowds, Marengue in Monrovia is a great place to consider checking out! Small business on a great street full of fun shops to explore, and I recommend their Creme Brulees.

I wish you could customize direction/map apps.
Examples:
1- No left turns in major cities without a 4 way stop or traffic light during rush hour
2- Prioritize back roads if its a similar eta as the freeway or vice-versa

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist
