had a super fun time working on an entry for the Minecraft Movie Build Competition last week! working with the limited, per-biome palettes made it really interesting and I learned a lot!! #MinecraftMovieContest

minecraft build based on the badlands/mesa biome. it features 3 structures stacked on top of each other and overlapping, all supported by beams and the terrain.

I cannot believe I got to witness this today! My tiny little domino cactus has been growing this flower for over a month, and last night it finally bloomed and it is just SO beautiful. These blooms only last <24 hours and this one is already closed up. What a special thing to be able to cultivate!!

A large flower with many white petals and yellow pollen stalks (?) in the middle. It is SO BEAUTIFUL

not my favorite baseball alien :(

Spencer Jones at bat during his major league debut, squatted into the absolute goofiest batting stance you can image. his stance is extremely open, his arms stretch across his body to hold the bat out straight up and down. his mouth is open slightly, he is utterly locked in. “He look like someone told him to pretend to be a hitter” - some tweet I saw

entered a postcard design contest for @sleddinggame.com yay! tried to chase the style that I think of when I think of ski resort postcards, lots of flat colors and rows of mountain tops and big, interesting text. pretty happy with the result! sledding game!! #art

vertical postcard design for sledding game featuring the frog and penguin wearing scarves and riding the ski lift over the mountain, drawn digitally in a sort of graphic style. a blue sled is stuck in the snow in the foreground and the mountain stretches back into the distance, dotted with trees and rocks. the text reads, "Sledding Game ; See you on the mountain."

extremely good website that I am thoroughly enjoying wasting time on youraislopbores.me

conversation between myself and a person larping as an AI. I asked, “please draw a very small cheeseburger.” the “AI” drew a very simple, very small cheeseburger consisting of a yellow bun and brown, red, and green lines for the patty, tomato, and lettuce. honestly a massive slay. the text below the window reads, “when the LLM so ahh you lowk rake over its job” and links to “https://youraislopbores.me”

accidentally learned 3D modeling and animation today this is a proof of concept/work in progress, there's still a lot to be done, but I'm so happy with what I've accomplished so far that I couldn't wait to show it off. fuck AI, human creativity runs this world #art #lowpoly #wip #blockbench

incredible block list that I’ve been added to. I would like to address this, however, and go on record that I have nothing against digital watches.

Had a nice time with @lyamgtt.bsky.social's cute and simply delightful Trinket Bag Maker! Very reminiscent of 2000s-era dress up/doll maker games, love that there are so many customization options, excited to see the full game! Out 17th March! store.steampowered.com/app/4247070/...

digital bag decorated in Trinket Bag Maker. the bag is pink and round with a smiley face on. a rainbow sticker and a trio of hearts sticker adorn the bag. a chain spans the handle and from it hang a tamagochi-like device, a tiny slice of lemon, a small blue bear, a little blue and white ball, and a beaded chain that says "pizza."

digital bag decorated in Trinket Bag Maker. the bag is a pink and yellow star on a yellow-to-purple gradient background surrounded by sparkles. several star and starburst stickers adorn the front. the bag has two chains that stretch across it, and hanging from either side of them are a small strawberry, a little blue planet, and a yellow lollypop. Letters hanging from the middle of the chains read, "Fuck ICE."

To imply that Santa is subject to the barbarism of human customs and regulations is pure arrogance, laughable and naïve. Santa cares not for the bounds of our mortal society; his gifts will be delivered and there isn’t a human soul on our great green Earth who could stop him.

I did a fair amount of research and landed on cedar for my own bed! It has held up great since building it ~2 yrs ago, and I got to grow tomatoes in it this year! I lined the inside with weed cloth and I coated the outside with a minimal UV-resistant treatment (controversial!!! but works for me!)
