Just in case anyone thinks that this was a reasonable response, here's my prior email which said quite explicitly that I have attended many times before, and that the reason for my non-attendance was explicitly their lack of AI policy and protections.

You may appreciate the naked contempt dripping from this email reply @loremistress93.bsky.social. Just a reminder to all UK creatives that UKGE does not give a shit about you or your opinions, and the recent AI stuff is more than just a simple mistake.

Looking for a ttrpg layout designer that can turn my 17 pages of text into a thing that resembles a solo game. Victorian haunted house vibes. gAI users need not apply.

Today I tried a technique I've never done before; painting in greyscale in acrylics, then glazing oil paint colour on top. I only had 10 min at the end of the class to throw on the colour, so it's suuuuper simple, but I still learned from it. (I forgot to photo the greyscale painting, oops)

being brave now,, Great news! The PoC Lounge WILL be back at Dragonmeet this year - Organised by myself and @lizzybutt.bsky.social! We'll have more info soon ✨ Our main goal was to start small & provide a space for poc to chill for a couple of hours during the con, and feel *safe* while doing so~

We would love to make the lounge a safe space to attend by offering ffp3 masks to those who want them and running air purifiers - but transportable, decent purifiers are a bit out of our budget πŸ˜… We got a Kofi goal for these bits and if you can help us out, that'd be mega! ko-fi.com/finleyjinley...

I am 93.5% sure I'm going to finish the Port Robert map and then paint a portrait of a bearded, pipe-smoking, 1950s fisherman who has seen things no-one should ever see over the top of it. Then use *that* as the opening artwork for the setting πŸ€”

When you're going through the ugly phase of a project, it's fine to make it uglier 🀣 (It's just masking fluid β€” I needed to get my *really really* big (3 inch) brush out to get the sea washes built up without them going patchy. This way I don't need to worry about the coastline)

Alright, I should now be in "mostly improvement" territory from this point. The masking fluid is now off, and I've put a second layer of transparent yellow on the sand areas. Still lots to do! (Second pic is just to show off the lovely granulation you get with these watercolours)

A little more time was spent on the map today (but then a bad migraine came calling 😭) Water is inked in blue (two line thickness). The black square is both a callout section for the port, and a useful scale setter for when I put a grid on top of it later when adding labels etc. :)

CRAZY support right outta the gate, thank you to everyone giving their interest to this new delightful thing

coming outta our graves and we been doing JUST FINE thank you so much everyone for the warm welcome already 🌹

I am quite happy with the results of today's art class, inspired by Van Gough's sunflowers. The challenge: paint only using mixes of yellow and purple. One 5 minute speedy study. Then (roughly) 45 min for a more considered painting. Time goes so fast πŸ˜…
