painted a wee plastic lad in water-mixable oil paints. quite proud of it. the oil paint took about four days to dry. whoops.

i've been getting back into watching movies recently. that might be over now.

finished the rest of the warhammer girlos. taking phone photos of miniatures is basically impossible so this is the best i could do.

i watched all of his shorts and experiments and everything right after he died. and funnily enough my most recent letterbox activity features the almost three hour Spicediver alternative edition fan edit of Lynch's Dune (1984)

a couple of wips and reference images. i've been inspired lately by the style of john blanche, the former art director for warhammer/games workshop for almost forty years

staic that santy brought. he knows i read a lot and have wide ranging taste

(for the last ten years i've told my parents to just donate to charity but they insisted on something for the day so i give them a book list and tell them to get one, and they usually get more)

willing it to be summer again with a bit of "Águas de março" by Elis Regina & Tom Jobim

the rest. miniature photography with a phone is difficult.

forgot to post these. warhammer is expensive so i bought miniatures from independent artists and sculptors. i was imagining them as a gang called the Cry Babys [sic] and painted them to suggest magical tears. do not attempt to psychoanalyse me.

i bought drawing inks and tried to paint my friend's cat. she's not that sad irl nor does she look like the cows on milka bars. but i had fun and that's all that matters

thinking about the opening text crawl to the japanese release of Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
December 15, 2025 at 5:38 PM

December 11, 2025 at 5:00 PM

fun fact: if you fill up a notebook you can buy more notebooks, or even make your own with thread and paper
