my first crochet 😋 this very lifelike and astonishingly beautiful koala took me only 20 tries to get it's body right

tbh I don't really like the aesthetic of crochet in general, but it's indeed addictive

Inkings (2023-2026)

I've just finished this amusing LSM Lublin fanart, inspired by a graffiti I saw (it had the cool S, that's really the only funny part about it).

The purpose of the LSM* page was to revive my old ink pens I haven't used since 2023. The other two spreads are from three years ago, when I got obsessed with calligraphy. I was curious if I'll be able to execute this kind of quality decor you'd see in a hand-copied book. The result were nice and my hand stabilisation peaked, but I got bored after filling just around four pages.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the bottle cap community!! What are some of the best designs to look out for in the wild, that are available in the Europe region (preferably Poland)?

So far Argus, Desperados and Perła Bezalkoholowa are some of the best ones I've managed to hunt down. The colours are somewhat interesting, but it could be better. :/ I want to use them as pins on my bag (unpainted), along with assorted trash.

Best places in Lublin (2023-2026)

I'd like to honor some nice places in Lublin, because I'm moving out soon. Some of them, mostly green ones, are literally my favourite places to visit (besides the Old Town, which is the best).

TLDR: I've been thinking too much and haven't made anything.

It's certain I'm not creating as much as a creative person should for one's wellbeing. What I do instead is I consume phenomenal art on social media, like all the time. It satisfies my brain. It doesn't fulfill the actual creative need, but it's incredibly aesthetically pleasing and so easily accessible, you almost can't avoid it.

[social media addiction brainrot trade dopamine for loss of meaning you should leave internet kinda stuff]

But it also makes me think too much, all the stuff I consume. And I think and think, and consider all the new creative hobbies I want to try and the enormous impact art has on environment which nobody in my carefully attuned algorithmic bubble seems to be talking about, as they keep pouring resin on non-toxic and perfectly biodegradable clay and ordering more and more acrylic keychains to flood the market, while printing the most simple imaginable cosplay parts on five 3D printers put on a nice, handmade cardboard drawer that was upcycled, which means it's covered in plastic (acrylic paint) and has now become quite a bit more hazardous for nature than plain cardboard ever would, because the latter you could actually use in a vegetable garden and be perfectly fine. ...What was that? Mmm, I also had a thought about what would be left of our art if it's so cheaply (=quickly, with low effort) made and it's likely a pile of slightly toxic trash.

I keep thinking about how there's already way too much internet content; that it would actually be harmful to contribute any more, that I don't want the stuff I upload to take the tiniest part in someone's internet addiction, but I have no other way to put it out to the world and it all comes back to me not being able to engage in irl communities. But then I was thinking... What is worthy enough to be shared?

Umm, that's roughly what's boiling in my head. I was.. Thinking about starting a small art business to sell handicraft and maybe a personal blog, like old-school type (I used to run blogs on Blogger) to have my own digital space, where I could stay sane not drowning in content and put out stuff I find helpful.

Handwoven bracelets I've made as a volunteer for a small convention as their (our) con merchandise, along with a small sticker design. The stall was a collaboration between six different artists from the graphics/promotion team, each contributing their unique work depicting our beloved con mascots.

My hair was finally long enough to achieve a peak cosplay form.

I went to a small con, was frightened and anxious, stressed and awkward af, per usual. However, I've heard so many compliments I stopped doubting myself for a moment and thus I'm posting this pic. :D

Sticker design for a small convention I'm a helper at. The baby dragon is a con mascot created by Kejtu and his name is Ciamajda ('Clumsy').
