Matt Hollingsworth

Looks like I missed #PortfolioDay a few days ago. I've worked as a color artist for comics since 1991, primarily for Marvel, DC, Image, Vertigo, and Dark Horse, on Preacher, Daredevil, Batman, etc, etc. Portfolio website: matthollingsworth.com Not looking for work. Artist credits in Alt text.

Installed macOS Golden Gate on an external drive to test & with my setup, it sucks. Superficially looks good, but it's terrible with mouse & pen events, not registering them sometimes, taking as many as 10 clicks to register. Ur experience may vary, but mine is that I won't be installing this crap.

My flash story "Fleeting Youth" is up at 4LPH4NUM3R1C, linked below. You can listen or read. A little bit of horror, a little bit of protective mother, a little bitty bit of a story that's a quick read. #writing #amwriting #indiepublishing #flash #flashfiction www.zoeticpress.com/4lph4num3r1c...

Congrats to Serbia for ousting this motherfucker. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Made carnitas today—slow cooked pork shoulder, cooked on the stove for about 3 hours, then browned in the oven for a half hour. Then I filled corn tortillas with this and cheddar and gouda and heated in the oven. You know, health food. Also made refried beans and Mexican rice. Proper lunch.

Sampling the weaker of this years' ciders. 8.3% abv, from Ida Red apples. The juice was sweeter than last year and the resulting cider seems, from memory, to have a more pronounced apple character. Success. Fermented down to .997. We'll try backsweetening with sucralose this year. Cheers!

Only right that as a brewer, I root for the Milwaukee Brewers. After watching nearly all of their games in the second half of the season, I'm attached to this team. Hope they go all the way.

After a week-long battle, I finally defeated the mosquito in my writing room because when I went to set up and write just now, it flew straight up, way up, my nose. I blew my nose, and there it was, dead.

An initial test I ran using the new free app Photocraft 0.8.2 seems to indicate it can convert to CMYK as good as Affinity Photo 2, my current app for converting. Like Photoshop, Photocraft also has batch processing. And they fixed the brushes. Promising. #NoAdobe getartcraft.com/apps/photocr...

I give too many fucks. Emotive and neurodivergent.

The same company that doesn't pay artists seems to always find the money to pay this jackass. If you're still using Spotify... why? Pretty much every alternative is better in every way.

At Nova Runda Brewery in Croatia.

All punk, death rock, all goth, when I was young, in the 80s, I wore mostly black, but that ended once I'd been out of Mom's house a few years. Because I got cats. Fur is the doom of black clothes. All these years later, I have a black cat (Nyx) & a torti (Efi) and they're better than black clothes.

Finished the first stage, the blockout, of a great Blender hard surface modeling tutorial from @blendersecrets.bsky.social. Next up seems to be retopology. Here's a playblast of a matcap, since no materials have been created yet. #blender3d #b3d #blender

Got edits back for my story "The Compassion of Predators" before it goes to print, and the way the e-mail was worded, I was all ready for disappointment, but the editor removed a single comma. That's it. For a flash piece of 962 words. Due out next weekend. Yay!

I based this Blender project on this specific ray gun. I didn't make it up. Found nearly ortho images and dropped those into Blender and modeled based on that. This original toy has no flashing light like I put in the red plastic area, but the gears do spin when the trigger is pulled, as I animated.

Saw Resident Evil in IMAX last night with my son. We loved it, start to finish. Fucking great. Horror people: go see it.
