Finally! A new #bookmaking project! We discovered traveller’s notebooks this year. Love the concept but wanted to have one that was #vegan AND not made of plastic. I also wanted to make my own inserts. These are prototypes to see if the concept could work. I am so proud of these! I learned a great deal and am planning on making a larger one for A5 notebooks.
Two open traveller’s journals displayed on a bamboo table. The top notebook features a yellow and a purple passport sized journal, while the bottom notebook has an orange and a yellow passport sized journal. Both notebooks are styled with decorative covers.

Hi everyone! 🎭✍️ I’m Euron Legends, an 18-year-old actor, writer, and content creator.
I believe storytelling is the most powerful tool we have to connect with the world. I’m currently working on my craft, blending performance with the written word. Looking to connect with the #WritingCommunity and fellow #Artists here!
What are you working on today? Let’s inspire each other. ✨

Four years ago, I had the idea of creating a compact short story using pictures/artwork I took/created. Storybook Beginnings & Intro banner (Picture A Story) was created 4 years ago.

Skye placed the cups with wind swirl patterns on the table and poured the tea, “I rarely get faraway visitors. What brings you to travel on this Kámino pathway?” Quédam quietly observed the pattern imprinted on the cups thinking of the double meaning. They could be symbols pertaining to the Maidens of the Wind or it could also be a reference to the Wind Paths guiding life through change and fate. Taking a sip of tea, he replied, “I am looking for what I lost long ago. I have traveled many of the interconnected Realms climbing up the Stairway to the Heavens above to arrive here in the Skylands. I don’t know much about this village of Magic. I take it you have lived here all your life. Can you tell me more about it?”
--Visual is a photograph of close up of two cups on saucers sitting side by side next to each other. There is a swirl pattern on the cups with what looks like simple decorative triangle shapes like mountains between the swirl pattern. The triangle shapes are repeated on the saucers. The white tablecloth the cups and saucers rest on has circular swirl patterns on it complimenting the cups.
Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.
No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.
This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.
So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.
I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?
These next few years, #creative#arts will contend with intense #slopification. Considering this current, liminal public state, I recall an ep. of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood in which Mr. Rogers compares the #Internet to make-believe.
“Your own imagination is far more wonderful than any computer could ever be. You know why: you’re a living #human being. And a #computer is just a machine. Human beings are far more wonderful than machines.”
Digital cel-shaded artwork of a chunky, creamsicle-colored triceratops plonked into an isometric square chunk of marshy grassland. The dinosaur is sitting, winsome expression directed at the viewer, with its reptilian tail poking out the back. The horizontal lower half of the triceratops is covered with bluish-black mud, some still wet and sliding down its body. A chunk of wet grass in the triceratops’s beak drips into the muddy water surrounding its feet and butt. More grass remains to be eaten around the triceratops’s hedonistic resting spot.

#Cyberpunk Go Board project update: it's done! The "bowls" don't have traditional lids, so there's no place to put captured stones, but I can live without it. What do y'all think?
Time and care, attention and concentration: when we work on something that is meaningful to us, we don't rush through it.
The object is not to simply get the job done; it is to craft and create, with a final result of something that is worthy of our time and care, attention and concentration.
