Curious about a group gathered nearby. Asked myself “Why are there people–” and just sort of trailed off when I realized I said it out loud.

“Been asking myself that for years” from someone behind me.

I sort of wish I was in the timeline where the tech field that crowded into the “crypto” namespace with cryptography was not the money thing but cryptozoology.

Kistler 30 Days, Lesson 8: cool koalas.

#drawing extras include marker color (maybe better on different paper), and a subject change because PEOPLE MUST BE WARNED

Kistler 30 Days, Lesson 7: Advanced-Level Cubes

#drawing extras include fun with an odd light direction, and adventures in pen shading techniques (sort of a crackly stipple/hatch).

@thegibson dammit I missed this but a friend was holding my butt for me (which incidentally is why I missed this) so everything worked out in the end.

Always a good day when I don’t have to jump start the car.

Not #drawing anything particular, just a brain break playing with paint-like brushes in #InfinitePainter.

“Insufficient time in this body to do all the stuff I keep thinking of” is not the worst problem to have, assuming an average allotment of time.

Kistler 30 Days, Lesson 6: Stacking Tables.

#drawing revelation that hatching can be like scratchy stippling. Doesn’t need to be uniform.

This is a considerate touch. I think I’ll do the same for folks that sometimes use my desktop.

Couldn’t compile Perl on WSL due to some sort of weird system compatibility issue so yes I’d say Microsoft’s reproduction of the Linux experience is just about perfect.

Did all the tasks I’d set as due:eod for today. Unlikely to finish much tomorrow what with the holiday, so just gonna pat myself on the back for today and adjust the ones I’d set for Sunday.

Have now added tasks for the half dozen things I want to do that are slightly easier under Windows, and another half dozen things I want to be able to do wherever.

Working in WSL but may want to edit project files with Windows apps.

So: GitHub Desktop for repo management and make a link in WSL:

$ ln -s $(wslpath -u ‘C:/Users/brian/Documents/GitHub’) GitHub

@ella_kane thank you! Agreed on the tattoo base, and also it reminds me of the tole painting my mom does sometimes!

Loved my shading and blending here, then realized I did the wrong layer. Alas.

For the historical #drawing record: Note 9, Infinite Painter; shade: “waxy pencil”; blend: “mostly water”
