This is a painting of a pumpkin in openCanvas. It’s not finished, but it’s been in this state for about a week, so I figured I’d post it. I drew it without reference. (Not bragging. Just documenting.)

I’m making friends with my Pentax Optio W30, and finally learning how to get decent macro shots. I think for clarity this one may beat anything I ever got with my Sony DSC-T1 (my previous pocket camera). In my opinion, that’s a major milestone. Here’s a closer crop:

I was living in a future dystopia, and I broke some sort of law (entering a park without paying admission or something — I don’t remember) and got arrested. After being arrested, I was processed and sent down various sorting […]
