THIS JUST IN: You can use my special code to get a few more entries for this! ARTINQCE at the bottom of melo.graphics/artstudio

If I am being honest, it is far too hot outside for all this world chaos. My work is also in chaos. It would be amazing to go swimming.

I sent in an explosion of entries for this. Get yours in too! (also, I have a special giveaway code for this as well. Stay tuned here for details on when and how you can get my code!)

See? I knew it would be good.

I can't wait to see what @melo.graphics has come up with for this prompt. Mine is still cooking (not literally, though that could have been a great idea too) but I'll have something soon.

This is going to be so much fun, y'all. If you've wondered how to do many different types of art and keep it cohesive, join us for this today! PLUS @melo.graphics is doing an exclusive bonus code for entries into our Creative Studio Giveaway. So I'll see you there today.

A sense of scale in Dayton. This video is what I meant when I said Dayton showed up in greater numbers than I expected for #nokings. It does require Facebook to view, sorry. I was on the ground so I didn't get a good view like this and it gives a sense of scale. www.facebook.com/share/v/16TJ...

I think the reason I am struggling to edit is that the sense of urgency I feel is about the world, about my country. I want to edit because I have been recording. But I wish I had decided to make a channel dedicated to actual change today. Speed builds aren't boring, they just pale in comparison.

The channel I am editing content for is here: youtube.com/@catalystech... If you want to, drop it a follow. It might help give me a sense of urgency to continue editing the builds and videos I have recorded for this channel.

I am really trying to edit this speed build every 35 seconds, I get distracted by something. Do I *hate* editing? Or, more to the point, are speed builds boring? I have watched a LOT of them, but I made this one, so focusing up is hard. What do I cut out? All the indecision?

I did some things today, a lot of things. Dayton showed up a lot more completely for #nokings than I expected. I also went grocery shopping and did dishes and now I am home editing a speed build for.... reasons.

16 days left in this awesome giveaway!

Oooh! I did specifically notice how good the makeup was on that show. Someone closer, please go and tell me how it was?

I pushed myself too hard to help get my work set up for a project, and now I'm in pain. I am hoping to be sufficiently recovered before Saturday because I. Like a lot of America, have somewhere to be. In the meantime, enjoy the teaser trailer for Enchanted by Nature! youtu.be/7D-WpFCmvRA?...

Also this.

It looks like your sims can run away to the forest and just live their lives there in this upcoming Sims expansion, and, honestly, that is exactly the kind of energy I need in my gameplay. Excited for this on July 10th. Yeah, I'll be streaming about it. www.ea.com/games/the-si...

Tips & things to have with you for peaceful protests. And emergencies. www.hrc.org/resources/ti...

This is so cool!!

Someone go watch this for me, please? I ❤️ Sheogorath and @elianora.bsky.social's mods and homes

I'd love to feel anything aside from existential dread and fear (some humor, the maga/ dark maga breakup is funny but not hilarious enough to break thru). I tapped into the old magic, but it all felt hollow. I probably should have just gone to Friday Pride. I'll go tomorrow. Probably.

I was listening to Pretty Hate Machine tonight (don't bother, it only holds up if you used to dance in front of your garage to these songs). I was going to make a comment, but that is probably it. My cat Ding (who loves to lick plastic) is having a great time with this album.

A new Haiku, yeah? The air in my house is cold Time for Pride, Bitches. (Please reference the earlier haiku about heat. It is cold in my house now, so I can't blame the heat for how much this one sucks.)

"Once more with feeling," again. Yeah, the Buffy thing. I am finally prepared to say this series musical is a zeitgeist of my life.

#ArtInqMe #Empowerment challenge. 20 years ago I did a photoshoot I called Fault Lines. I used the images as website backgrounds for my original art website but the point of the shoot was to show how our faults are beautiful. Posting this is inspired by something @chocoholickeyah.scares.men made.

Dayton #Pride starts today. I am exhausted this week but I am going to rally for pride. Visibility & the celebration of who we are is more important than ever. I can't be tired & tap out right now. Pride is too important. That said. What should I wear? Assume I have everything and comment below.

On the bright side: I have a ton of XLR cable and a solid DJ sound mixer with a pair of CD controllers attached and a furman power conditioner to run everything smoothly, right? I am fairly sure I could use that. It totally attaches to a computer. But that seems like a LOT for what I need.

I have 1 other minor extravagance that I'd like to bring to the #artinq #podcast & my #twitch streams. My mic is a $30 BS USB off brand whatever, right? But I was a DJ and I do understand sound mixing and my own voice on that mic is a problem. I'd like to pull an XLR mic in w/an audio interface.

Since @melo.graphics is sponsoring this contest, I can technically win it. I'd prefer not to though, not because I don't want the tools. I totally want the tools. But because I'd love to meet more of you through this #giveaway and #empower #artistry this June. ENTER: melo.graphics/artstudio

It is hot as fuck So hot I wrote this haiku The heat made it suck

This contest is extremely cool. All the extremely cool artists and illustrators are doing it.

Part 3 of My Mojave wasteland adventures as we track down the one who tried to put me down, as we try and raise funds for the fight against Alzheimer's! @wesjohnson.bsky.social @falloutforhope.com and many more folks raising for a good cause, www.twitch.tv/docshaw1991 is where I'll be 4pm EST!

Yes, they are!

I'm 100% here for talking about great queer support and acceptance this year.

Art & Inquiry is 6 months old!! To celebrate, we're doing a giveaway! @melo.graphics got her hands on a sweet bundle & we're giving you a ton of ways to enter. CONTEST LINK: melo.graphics/artstudio READ MORE: art-inquiry.com/p/art-inquir... (Ends 6/30. No purch nec. See contest terms.)

I did go home and curl up with the boyos, and we had a nice lovely purr & a nap. Then they had important cat business, so I booted up Fallout 4 on the PC (yeah, I own it on 2 frikken systems, I might have a problem) & worked on movement/buttons a bit. Test stream soon.
