Okay. So, here's one of my pieces... A stipple rendering of #SteveKilbey (inspired by the album cover of Starfish by #TheChurch).

This little fucker was going to be my third dnd/ttrpg character, except the game I created him for never ended up happening.
Let me introduce you to Rebel (no relation to my current username), a 22 year old rogue (arcane trickster) from a noble family that mostly consists of a mixture of part kenku part drow people.

Okay, so my second dnd character was this reborn smoke genasi (fire on the character sheet) shadow sorceror called Brynn (he/they). He was supposed to be a one-off character for this one-shot in the same campaign setting that Lucas (my tiefling fighter) is from- that ended up setting up the next BBEG, aaaand of course I ended up keeping them because I loved them too much.

Speaking of #FirstFriday events, the next #FirstFridayArtWalk is this coming Friday, April 3rd. I'm hoping more folks use the hashtag and participate... I know there are a lot of wonderful #MastoArtists making #MastoArt here! Show us your #Art! 🎨

In my view, the best way to fight back against people like Thaler is to take their "art," re-create it in one's own medium, and then release it widely under a CC0 (Creative Commons Zero) license.

So, I had to take down scores of paintings to have some renovation done, which honestly means I’ve actually looked at some of them for the first time in a while.
And there was some level of catastrophe with reno, as happens, so I can’t put art back up, and was rifling thru stacks of canvas to find something, and rediscovered this one, which seems relevant. It’s called Persephone’s Journey, and is a reminder that tho we are in hell, there is a greener world waiting for us to escape.

If I haven't yet earned my place in the 9th Circle of Writers' Hell, surely this will do the trick.

@gretchenkdeahl Oh wow...! That is amazing art!

Yesterday, #DragonCon Artist Alley management removed (with police assistance!) a vendor selling AI-generated slop, after the former were certain the “art” was entirely AI-generated.
Following the offender’s removal, another vendor created a sign (attached) to place on the empty table. Soon a small shrine to collective #AI disdain began to form around her initial statement.

So, knowing I had a fixation on the #TarantulaNebula, #BernieReim let me turn in a painting of the nebula as my final project! I incorporated a lot of what I learned about telescopes and refraction (the cross shaped light patterns), and also how one can perceive every color EXCEPT green! (Including some spots that appear brown to the human eye). He really appreciated my level of detail, even if my painting skills weren't the best (and my canvas was a paper box cover)...

So, this is very interesting... I know I used to find making clay balls in pottery class would help keep me focused and calm...
The #Meditative Art of #Hikaru #Dorodango: How Japanese Schoolchildren Turn Mud Into Shiny Spheres
A developmental psychology professor discovered hikaru dorodango in a Japanese schoolyard in 1999, and the practice is still inspiring artists worldwide today.
By Marla Mackoul
Aug 12, 2025Excerpts: "No one is quite sure how hikaru dorodango originated, but it’s clear that it wouldn’t be as prominent as it is today without the efforts of Japanese developmental psychology professor Fumio Kayo. In 1999, Kayo was visiting a Kyoto nursery school to observe children at play when he noticed them deeply concentrated on forming playground dirt into shining spheres. It was a painstaking process even teachers would join in on. After working so long and so hard to create them, the dorodango would become treasured possessions of the children.
Making a dorodango involved locating the perfect soil, mixing it into mud, molding it into a sphere, and finally polishing it to perfection. The art requires patience, trial and error, and resourcefulness, causing it to be praised for its beneficial impact on early childhood development. Indeed, Kayo both published academic papers on the subject as well as developed a simple methodology that allowed him to introduce the activity to children across Kyoto. Hikaru dorodango was featured by Japanese public broadcaster NHK in 2001, and it has slowly gained prominence internationally—and among adults—since then.
"Other artists around the world have also found creating the mud balls to be both an excellent creative outlet as well as a grounding meditative practice. Artist Kiyoko Miki, for instance, uses different soil types and paint to create colored pastes, turning her dorodango into every color of the rainbow. She even drills holes into some to make charming flower vases."

Julia Rohwedder's work is gorgeous and this cover art for YA book, A Cold Tomorrow by David Sossamon, is no exception. And yes, all of Julia's work is created by her in Photoshop - no AI!

I love this delicate artwork by Joanna Scott, which she created for French beauty brand, La Bouche Rouge for use on a gift set packaging sleeve. Joanna has beautifully captured the feel of the quieter backstreets of Paris, instantly recognisable with the architecture and landmarks.

Fab illustration, design and layout by Zoe Ranucci for this educational activity book, written by Dr Kimberly P. Johnson. Great art and design, by skilled human beings, makes so much difference to how well kids engage with using books like this!

Gemma Correll is spot-on with her observations of how historical women are usually shown on TV (and movies)! But who needs perfection, when baggy-kneed sweatpants are the comfy reality?

Recently, rather than directing photoshoots with scientists, I'm illustrating their stories. And loving it 😊
Always awesome working with Scientific American!

New(ish) character teaser. Kasumi’s design teaser for the back cover of my novel “Tempest Blades: The Magick of Chaos”. Art by @salvadorvelazquez.art Character concept by me.
Because the approach for the covers of my books is to create a whole wrap around art piece that can work as wallpaper or print as well. Salvador Velázquez and I don’t do things half measures.#tempestblades #fantasyliterature #fantasybooks #litrpg #bookstodon #artbyhumans #writersofmastodon
