Some of Syd Mead's concept art for Blade Runner, upscaled to wallpaper res 3840x2160, cropped, denoised, color corrected and otherwise edited for the screen. These are NOT the originals as produced by Mr. Mead, if you are looking for 1:1 unmolested versions of the original art this isn't it.
(I'm not sure Tumblr will host these at the original full-res without downsampling them? See what happens I guess)
I zipped the full-sizes on my Dropbox if you should want them.
I feel a little creativity blocked. I have a name that I used for years as a creativity pseudonym. It just doesn’t resonate with me anymore. Kind of because I didn’t really take it to the angle I intended and now it’s not really the objective either.
It’s time to think of a new name and one that will help with the vision I have in mind.
Kinda cool and a little ridiculous. AI art is controversial but amusing with the creations. Little details seem to propagate in abundance towards the unrealistic. I like it for crazy concepts than actually finalized art.
I never bought a small pen maker #fountainpen before. Came across @luckystarpens and saw this amazing design and homage to one of the most recently amazing space tech feats for the @jameswebb_nasa telescope. I reached out and was lucky to snag one of the last ones on hand. Currently inked with Pelikan purple and it writes smooth! Thanks to Lauren for bringing out such a cool pen to life 😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIId1yOQxL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I really need to get back into watching the remake...

MAGFest 2023. I've been going since 2013. It continuously ranks as one of my top conventions I've ever attended. As a parent, can't make the full weekend for now but even just one day is worth the experience. They take masking seriously. (I had no problem playing DDR with my kn95 on).
My favorite section is always the Indie games. Love seeing the ingenuity and hard work people put in to making an experience. Hair Nah made my list for making a real lesson fun. Learn boundaries! Until next year...
“Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.”

What an interesting artist and for what she did for the time. Her exhibit at the Seattle Art museum was really cool. I appreciated the letters she wrote looking for funding for her move and her work.

I've been playing with midjourney AI. It's fascinating what it can create but I still haven't generated anything amazing that I've seen others post. I wonder if there is an anti AI art assessor that can figure out what art piece influenced the generated art. 🤔
I'm an addict to stationery. When I feel stressed about life, I peruse Instagram on stationery tags. When I feel depressed I peruse the shops. When I feel beaten and want a real pick me up, I use all that research to buy an item I checked out for weeks.
The past few years have resulted in a collection I really don't need. *Sigh*

2022 all in one A5 almost completely done. My experiment with planner and journal in one book worked really well, but the book was a bit big to travel with. #nanamisevenseas #a5planner #a5notebook #planner #journal https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2GQOXJx6Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
One of my earlier embroidery animations, this was my second one. I made sure that the designs were very simple, since I wanted this to be fairly long. The tangled thread is just purposefully messed up French knots.
I really wanted to try the HON next. It actually fits in my Liberty fabrics cover really well, even though you don't need the cover. I prefer to use it so that I can carry a pen and loose papers. Looking forward to using this as my daily journal. #hobonichi #hobonichihon #libertyfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwjVsau4vq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you know what you want of social media? I am not so sure myself. I've met some cool people online when I was younger. Now that I'm older with not as much free time, do I expect the same? Not really, but I'm still here.
Anyone else find this time of year difficult? Is it wrong to say I feel a little bit of anxiety thinking about the next year? I want to be excited and hopeful, but I feel a little bit scarred by the past few years. Things have been okay, really. It just feels like impending doom sometimes. The news doesn't help.
In the spirit of the holidays, we have a gift for the best fans in the world: more Death & Dream.
This deleted scene from The Sandman episode "The Sound of Her Wings" gives us a little more insight into why Death is the way she is. We hope you enjoy it.

Looking forward to seeing this come to fruition.

I watched the Netflix Wednesday show and was a bit disappointed. Spoilers ahead.
The show had potential. Started pretty strong with aesthetic and character variety. By the middle to end, the characters were a bit cheapened. Unfortunately the main character began to suffer the Bella Swan (Twilight) effect. Meaning: Bella could do absolutely whatever and still have friends wanting to still be her friend despite ignoring them completely for her own desires.
Wednesday just kept attracting all these friends that she never seemed to reciprocate. It's not exactly the same because at least a few of her friends actually tell her off for being a dick, but it still falls short. Specifically, for the character that goes to jail wrongfully accused of murder but then completely forgives her and buys her a phone at the end of the series.
If the show runners wanted to depict a flawed Wednesday, then at least follow through on the repercussions of those flaws on the people around her. She never actually apologizes for her actions either and second season or not, they should've backed that up with the secondary characters not always accepting her shit. As an attempt of character growth, it just doesn't happen and she ends up being quite flat.
The more I thought about the actions of the supporting characters in dealing with Wednesday, the more disappointing the story became in retrospective. The problem I see as this show is pretty popular, there are most definitely people out there inspired by this character and tend to mimic traits.
I just want to make sure that being goth does not mean be a dick.
