On this, the day of my birth, I feel you all deserve a treat. Presenting: a *grand reveal* of the Season of the Witch cover, painted by Martin Mottet, with a sneaky preview of one of the book's creatures designed by Cory Trego-Erdner! ✨Preorders remain open on the kickstarter. ✨ witchstarter.co.uk

"dont worry, we didn't use LLMs for real art, like writing, or graphics, or sound, we only used it for dumb gross useless basic shit like programming" always the funnest thing to read as a programmer, as someone whose whole career is based on code, whose handwritten library changed the industry etc

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

Went for a walk by the riverside this morning to celebrate the last beautiful day before the onset of storms, and met this kingfisher! #Kingfisher #Photography

I *adored* the first book in this series, a warm, optimistic fantasy about witchcraft, community and driving out evil spirits. I've backed this Kickstarter to get the whole series and can't wait to dive in to the other two books; I strongly suspect a lot of my followers would love them too!

According to Kickstarter tracking service, Kicktraq, the LIGHTSPEED + NIGHTMARE campaign is trending toward only reaching 94% of our goal. So WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP. If you love SF, fantasy, and horror short fiction, please consider backing today and sharing this post. bit.ly/LS-NM-26

The F3 key on my (digital) piano stopped responding yesterday evening, so after work today I took the piano apart, removed the key and gave all the contacts a good clean. Works perfectly again, and now I'm too tired to play the piano 😅

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

Wheeee #WednesdayWeeklies , Have more Frey! I finally finished this portfolio project over the weekend, and plan to post it over the next lil while! I'm particularly proud of how this illustration came out 🦊

Poppy pressed the "Music" button, so I put music on. Then she pressed "Snack" but she'd just eaten so I ignored it. She was insistent til I said, "Wait, you want Me to eat?" Slow-blink. She watched me prep my breakfast w/ music on, then went upstairs to nap, satisfied I was properly looked after.

Our two-foot tall apple tree has spent the past couple of months growing a single perfect apple, and today it was finally ready to be picked 🍎 Great work, little tree! #Photography #Apple

Fuckin' hell. Dear future clients; I have never used - and refuse to be forced to use - a tool built on "an astonishing theft of unprecendented proportions". (And given the Ethical Conduct training every company in the sector requires, I *will* consider suggested use of these tools a red flag.)

This album by John Paul Hayward (I don't think he's on Bluesky?) is an absolute freakin masterpiece and if you enjoy the music from Chrono Cross, please, please don't do yourself a disservice by not listening to it. This is as good as VGM arrangements get. I've been listening on repeat.

After digging through 300 portfolios, this seems to be a hard ask. I am looking to LICENSE (paid) an image appropriate for a tidal witch. Female character, with elements around the moon and/or water. Non-anime style. If you have this in your portfolio and have the right to license it, please shout!

Let's highlight some of the prints I have on sale at my store, starting with "The Cherry Blossom" Available on matte fine art or glossy photo paper, in A3, A4 and A5 sizes! ko-fi.com/s/ff42f9c8c5 #RobHainesPrintClub

If you enjoy my photography and want me to have time to do more of it, a Digital Tier membership is a great way of supporting my work and helping me plan for the months to come! #RobHainesPrintClub

For today, let's talk print memberships. At the end of each month, I select a Featured Photo from all the shots I've taken that month; sign up for the Digital Tier from £3 a month for high-res wallpapers, or postcard or A5 prints as physical tiers: ko-fi.com/robhainespri... #RobHainesPrintClub
