(Nostr did something weird to the colour after the upload. Not the first time. Someone better fix this before more artists join the game)

Drawing while watching miss Marple. My ultimate comfort tv. Yes people are dying in every episode. But aren’t they looking nice while at it? Living their quaint lives in pretty dresses inviting each other over for tea and occasional gin.
No time like the past. Especially fictional past.

Well done, these comparisons were obvious to me from the start and I wondered why are there no books presenting Bitcoin in the context of ancient texts. I felt that especially while reading Tao Te Ching. I could so easily swap the word “Tao” for “Bitcoin” in some passages.
So this book looks very promising. Good chapter on religion, that subject could probably be it’s own book.
I wanted to say great book cover as well but upon closer inspection I suspect AI. :)

Thanks! I’d like to illustrate chapter books all the way up to young adult fiction. So developing older characters will prove that I can.

I love this moment of transition, the meeting point of the mundane and the magical Otherness. Not so much into the glittery sparkly magical things, instead, I’m drawn to the serious otherness, the kind that offers a deeper truth. Something that changes you and stays with you once you have left Narnia and came back from the Mount Doom. Because the truth is there is no coming back.

Don’t think I agree. This is supposed to be closer to a real community, a real interaction. I would like it to feel like walking into a real room with real people. And “seeing “ the room helps me personally to get that feeling.

I started my Nostr journey on primal which is criticised for many things but one of the things it does right is displaying the number of followers. Moving away from the primal I’m now getting used to yakihonne and it also displays the followers. So I guess I have it easier in that regard, I know that amethyst and damus are practically a roulette, you never know what you’re gonna see.

I loved illustrating different ways in which #bitcoin is used around the world. As always I wanted to keep it personable, human and warm. When you look at this image I wanted you to feel a sense of community, ease and peace of mind. With a dose of playfulness.
After all, there is no playfulness without safety and there is no safety without freedom. Bitcoin is freedom.

Yes! Very strange. I had lots of help setting this up so I’m waiting for help to become available again to see if this can be fixed.

5 minutes sketch while waiting for the food to arrive. I had to quickly decide what was important for me here. And more than the people in front of me, it was the way both inside and outside were present in the frame.

Sharing the process behind an illustration: from the sketch, through the colour roughs to the final artwork. I know no one’s got time for clicking outside links but I think it’s worth a look. I’m obviously biased.

Some parts of the process are just very relaxing. While others are anguish, experimentation and frustration of battling with the unknown. This is the relaxing part.
