I assumed since Procreate Dreams came out, Procreate didn’t have any animation features any more. It does! And they’re pretty cool and do exactly what I need. Also, creating hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation is a bit tedious. 😅 #procreate #animation #contest

Happy Solstice!

Spent the morning updating apps and OS. Then created a test recording in Procreate, and imported it into iMovie. I’ve used iMovie for years to create fan music videos, but this is the first time I’ve used that program on my iPad. After figuring out where the controls were, I imported the Procreate recording and did some edits. Proof of Concept Accomplished!!! Now on my way to having a submission for the @nostr.build video contest. 🎉

Putting up the last of my Christmas decor. This artwork is “Deck the Owls” by Michaela Evans…. AKA my spirit animal when required to go to a holiday party. 🦉 #art #christmas #introvert

R.I.P. Gil Gerard. 🥺 On special nights when I was growing up, we could watch TV as a family while having dinner. My sister wanted to watch Little House on the Prairie. I wanted to watch Buck Rogers. Dad wanted to watch Buck Rogers, so I won. 😬🚀 #rip #gilgerard #sciencefiction #tv #childhood

I’m starting research on a large creative project (designing a personal tarot deck). Checking books out of the library is a good way to see how useful they are. Spent the afternoon with this book and given the number of flags I used on useful pages, it’s one a want to buy. Now I just need to decide hardcover or Kindle…? HC: love having an actual book, double page photo spreads, can leave open on the desk as a visual reminder Kindle: screengrabs can be imported into the project file and marked up, searchable text 🤔 #bookstr #interiordesign #inttar #tarot

I’m not a tent person or a 6 am person, so I greatly appreciate someone who does those things and shares the stunning results. #photostr #photography #outdoors View quoted note →

If you’re interested in science fiction and fantasy art by Michael Whalen, his website shop has his first art book, Wonderworks, available as a PDF for $10 ($15 after January 1st). 120 pages. Introductions to 6 genres by writers such as Poul Anderson, Michael Moorcock, C.J. Cherryh, Anne McCaffrey, Gerald Page, and Alan Dean Foster. Tons of cover art and concept sketches. This was originally published in 1979, so it’s Michael’s early works.

I finished my March Hare for @existing sprinkles 2026 Calendar Challenge… which I will be continuing on into 2026 so I can make a calendar for 2027. 😬 Went a bit simpler on this piece than January or February. The hand-written sentences in the background are the first lines from the stories in one of my microfiction collections. The iris is from a collection of vintage flower plates from Kew Gardens. And I didn’t color the hare to emphasize the engraving illustration style. A collection of some of my creative favorites as a reminder to focus on what I love. #2026calendarchallenge #artstr #art #artchallenge #mixedmedia #rustypuppyart View quoted note →

Added up my daily walking miles for last month: 56!!! 🚶 Adding another 500 steps per day to my goal for this month, which takes me up to 5,000 steps/day or about 2.2 miles/3.5 km. Yesterday was an exception: over 7,000 steps because I went Christmas shopping. 🧑‍🎄🎄🎁 As with my art challenges, I made a tracker for my 10k steps goal. It feels good to see I’m still on track …. and that I’ve doubled my total steps since June! 🎉 #proofofwalk #exercise #goals #fitnessover50

GM! Sharing art I made for the January @npub1wdpf...0p5m art challenge of A Month of Good Mornings. It started out as random finger painting with acrylic paint, and turned into my favorite. Sometimes the Unplanned Art can become more than the Planned Art. 🎨 And this note therefore completes my December art challenge!!! 🎄 #nostrartstrdec2025 #artchallenge #art #artstr #rustypuppyart View quoted note →
