I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
I’m living on an old farm with lots of junk.
So naturally I am building an 8 foot tall wind-driven kinetic sculpture of a Wendigo.
I bought a welder and a cutoff saw. All the materials are retrieved from the trash gully that every respectable high desert property must have.
It’s a form of cope and even ritual magic for me. Embody the spirit of hoarding and greed so it is vulnerable and can be imprisoned, that sort of vibe.
It will take all winter to finish it. The rebar armature is flexible and bobs in the wind. I will add sun bleached oak branches to give it flesh.

A bunch of FOSS hardware and software. https://twystlock.com/ was my latest creation. My next is a suite of modular open source home automation sensors including everything from air quality to mmWave presence.
In a more “professional” FOSS sense I just presented a new federated identity management system at IIW based on ActivityPub and OpenID Connect: https://fedid.me/.
I also make a lot of behind the scenes algorithms.
I draw angels mostly, but I do draw fanart from time to time as well! I’ve uploaded progress pictures, timelapses, and files associated with my work, too!
Huh. I’ve never considered the IA as a place to upload my pictures.
Really cool work - you don’t happen to be on BSky or tumblr, maybe?
Thank you so much!! And I am! I’m on Tumblr and also Bluesky!
A mess
Resentment in others.

It’s been a while but I was learning to songwrite and record a few years ago. Been focusing on education lately so not as much time for it these days.

For the last year and a half I’ve been writing and drawing a fluffy, sapphic comic based on a very unserious British science-fiction show about a time travelling alien in a blue box (4 chapters so far). It’s on AO3.
Has anyone asked OP what they create? What do you create, OP?
Solid comic!
I grow crystals all day. I have a cool idea for a video game so I’ve been learning Godot recently too.
Currently? Walnut ink.
That sounds interesting. What’s the process for making it? What colour does it come out?
Worldbuilding and video games! :(
Have you read Vermis?

Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.
