Photo of a dot-grid notebook, lying on a light blue surface. Written in vivid hot-pink ink in handwriting are several stanzas of "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou — title and poet's name visible at top left, followed by the opening stanzas. At bottom right, a note reads "Diamine Hope Pink / Lamy 2000, F". A black Lamy 2000 fountain pen rests diagonally across the page. To the right sits a small bottle of Diamine Hope Pink ink, its deep pink colour visible through the glass. At the top of the notebook, a brass Traveler's Notebook charm clips the pages together.

#NewInkDay: Diamine Hope Pink in the Lamy 2000. "Still I Rise" by Mary Angelou.

An unapologetic poem, vibrant with life, to go with a audaciously pink ink.

igital illustration of a large bird of prey diving talons-first toward the water surface to snatch a fish. The bird's wings are spread wide, brown and tan feathers detailed with ink-splatter accents streaking across the composition. Its golden-yellow talons reach down, claws open, just above the teal water where a fish is barely visible below the surface. Bubbles rise beneath the water. The background shows a misty, overcast sky with softly blurred hills. Art by Jörn (www.joern.art).

Had a blast experimenting with a chaotic style while still capturing what I love about birds of prey.

(to the tune of, you guessed it, Breaking the Law)

Wife and I talked about starting a book club yesterday, complete with, like, wine and charcuterie.

Became so excited I almost peed myself.

A very grainy, very low-resolution selfie I took with my Gameboy Camera.

I recently bought a used Gameboy Classic and a Gameboy Camera, and I'm happy to report that the resulting photos look like complete and utter shit.

Couldn't love it more.

My buddy and I are handing the chapters back and forth, and doing so via Markdown files in a Git repository we share.
Sound cool?

Okay, so. Chiron's Doom is journal RPG, meaning the main part of playing it is creative writing. After a certain amount of time has passed in-game or a chapter ends, you draw a card from a prepared deck of standard playing cards. Depending on the card you drew, events unfurl (mostly bad ones!).

Oh! Gladly! I‘ll talk your ear off. What part are you interested in?

Chiron's Doom by Nick Bate A mysterious monument. An ill-fated expedition. A storytelling game for 1-3 explorers.

A friend and I are playing Chiron‘s Doom asynchronously over Git. A collaborative roleplaying game.
We’re having an absolute blast, and it reminded me of how much I enjoy writing.
Highly recommend chucking ten bucks at Nick Bate and trying it out.

An AI generated image of a soulless bedroom made for a real estate listing. The window looks all fucky.

Apparently, it's just straight up normal that house listings in Germany now have AI generated images of the rooms if the current furniture in it is not sexy enough (look at the window).
Drives me crazy.

A supermarket display of cookies, labeled "cockies".

Unfortunate place to make a typo.

Weird question, but does somebody have a Gumroad / Etsy / something with an adult coloring book (not, like, naughty. You know what I mean.) that I could buy and print pages from?
All I can find is AI slop.

A Lego instruction manual and the corresponding model, currently being built. Model number 42163.

Boy #1 and I are at the point where our Lego sets are not *entirely* trivial anymore.

A fountain pen and two ink swatch cards lie on a notebook. The top ink swatch is a cool-toned brown labeled "Esterbrook x TheCoffeeMonsterzCo - Forgotten Iced Coffee". The bottom swatch is a vibrant orange-yellow labeled "Robert Oster Signature - Element Fire." A brass Traveler's Company clip and yellow date tabs are also visible.

Hoo boy, it's #NewInkDay!
After some fuckery with customs, here is:
- Esterbrook x The CoffeeMonsterzCo - Forgotten Iced Coffee
- Robert Oster Signature - Fire

I'm especially obsessed with the Estie ink, it dries to a stunning color. Well worth the money!

Oh shit dog!
You were born on Star Wars Day! Same birthday as my son. :)

A cute hand-drawn illustration of anthropomorphic sushi with smiling faces. One sushi roll is being lifted by chopsticks, saying 'Wheee!'. It looks super fun. Other sushi rolls smile happily beside a bowl of soy sauce. Colored pencils and a black pen are placed on the wooden table above the drawing.

Whee!

A photo of my Benchmade Bugout pocket knife.

People harp on Benchmade's quality control all the time—and sometimes rightfully so—but my Bugout just inadvertently went through the laundry and is no worse for wear.

My new hairdresser just earned a customer for life by saying my hair is "giving a little Faramir".

My popup blocker game was on *point*!

My entry for @trueref.bsky.social ‘s monthly challenge! “Dial-up Aria” (did anyone else used to sing along with the dial-up noises?)

A goat creature with three horns, one eye, and a forked tongue hanging out. It has a ceremonial looking single bladed axe between its front hooves. The beast is wrapped in a banner going around three times. What emerges below the banner is just a mass of tentacles. The banner reads, ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN TODAY’

I often think about what a fun, collaborative space the internet used to be.

A hand-drawn illustration of a cute pirate skull with a stitched brown eyepatch and blushing pink cheeks, placed in front of two crossed wooden swords. The skull has large black eye sockets and a rounded, cartoonish shape. The swords are stylized with swirly details and visible wood grain.

People will look at this and go "hell yeah". It’s me. I’m people.

A hand-drawn cartoon of Mo Willems' "Pigeon"shown on an index card. The pigeon has a hopeful expression and is holding up one wing. A speech bubble reads, “Can I have your PB&J? ...please?” Above the pigeon’s head is a thought bubble containing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich surrounded by little pink hearts.

Without a joke, one of the things I love about being able to draw is banging out little sketches for my kid's lunchbox.

I must not sit down. Sitting down is the ADHD killer. Sitting down is the task-death that brings total obliteration.

Hey, I know some of these.

Hit me up if you need a high res.
