A couple of Moonpaintings I really enjoy revisiting these pieces. They were created without thinking too much about the outcome, like sketches, each capturing the moment without striving for perfection. People have told me the paintings seem to improve over time, as if each one refines the last. But that’s not my goal. As I work with the same medium, I naturally become more familiar with it, but I try to resist the urge to perfect things. I don’t want refinement to take away from the spontaneity and rawness of the first strokes. I sometimes feel self-conscious when people say my work seems to improve in general, because I’m not trying to get better or perfect anything. There’s a certain pressure in hearing that. I want the freedom to create messy, spontaneous art without worrying that others might think I’ve had an "off day." It’s more about letting go and embracing imperfection.

anyway werewolf service dog task brainrot is back

werewolf who you've never met but as she passes you she sniffs you and then grabs you and goes "hey your heart rate is really high" and holds you up as you start to get lightheaded

werewolf who sits in your lap to give you deep pressure therapy

werewolf who just stands there with you menacingly to give you space from people

werewolf who learns your allergies and starts telling you when your food has something you're allergic to

werewolf who pushes your wheelchair and carries you up stairs

My favorite Giuseppe Festino covers from near the end of his run with the Italian sci-fi magazine Robot. These are from late 1978 and 1979. Bold colors, bold compositions.

I featured Festino's work in my free sci-fi art newsletter a few issues back, so check it out for more info. The final one here, with the decaying robot, was for the last issue of the magazine, before it was rebooted in the 2000s.

I scanned in my moon painting from yesterday, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I love her shapes, the cracked textures, and the hues—it brings me so much joy! I've realized traditional work truly makes me happiest because the medium has a will of its own.

This motif would make a great shirt design too. :>

I understand why a lot of fantasy settings with Ambiguously Catholic organised religions go the old "the Church officially forbids magic while practising it in secret in order to monopolise its power" route, but it's almost a shame because the reality of the situation was much funnier.

Like, yes, a lot of Catholic clergy during the Middle Ages did practice magic in secret, but they weren't keeping it secret as some sort of sinister top-down conspiracy to deny magic to the Common People: they were mostly keeping it secret from their own superiors. It wasn't one of those "well, it's okay when we do it" deals: the Church very much did not want its local priests doing wizard shit. We have official records of local priests being disciplined for getting caught doing wizard shit. And the preponderance of evidence is that most of them would take their lumps, promise to stop doing wizard shit, then go right back to doing wizard shit.

It turns out that if you give a bunch of dudes education, literacy, and a lot of time on their hands, some non-zero percentage of them are going to decide to be wizards, no matter how hard you try to stop them from being wizards.
