Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

I've been working on some artist proof paintings for MagicCon Atlanta - This one is on a "Hall of Echoes" AP. I love exploring the same colour palettes as the card art.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

Got a new watercolor sketchbook and tested it with this mixed media self portrait. I feel like sometimes I am only supposed to use whatever media I started the piece with. Then I use mixed media to finish a piece of and it just elevates it so much that I feel like I leveled up.

thinking fondly again of the college girl at the donut place, who made a little muslim boy bounce giddily out the door after she told him his donut was free, and who waved me away and said "you're good" when it was my turn to pay and then, when asked if there was a deal that day said "i hate my job"

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

My first flash sheet of some designs I'd love to do tattoo in the future! I'm not taking bookings currently, but keep an eye out if you're local to Edinburgh.👀

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

It’s depressing to see schools use AI to create flyers, banners, & t-shirts. When I was in high school the faculty would come to the art department to have students create these things. I learned so many skills that have followed me my entire professional life. That’s what I thought school was for.

Anyway, New game assets! ✨ Tiny City contains 130 tiles and works great with my previous (also free) Tiny-series of packs. Feel free to use this in your games, no need for attribution or permission because it's all yours. Download: kenney.nl/assets/tiny-...

We have a wee pet snail now. Their name was going to be Marcel, after Marcel the Shell but they have been renamed to Chompy after they chomped all over this carrot. 🐌

When the cold creeps in and the wind is howling, the only cure is to curl up with a feline friend. Ghosts and specters enjoy a good lap cat, after all, they were only human once too. 🍂🐈‍⬛

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

that’s a genuinely beautiful way to put it

M. Night Shyamalan's YouTube channel (which is something he has now) came out of nowhere with this great line.

I love seeing people being so strongly against AI, I wish they would let that be what got them to finally leave Meta platforms. Can we all leave together for real please?

Had a lovely market at Joy For All at Portobello Town hall yesterday! I even got test drive a wee trinket trade basket (trinkets curated by my 7 yr old) which was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone that stopped by!
