@rafa_font Thank you! Indeed this stuff is Euro inspired. I'm from the states but I live in Amsterdam and these are based on photos I took in Portugal, Italy, and Spain.

And yes I do take commission work, but I'm booked up or traveling for the rest of the year so I won't have any openings until about mid January.

@dgavin thanks! yeah I really like those areas of Europe as a drawing subject. They have great colors and this sort of perfect imperfection to the buildings that I find so charming. It also gives you a lot of leeway to riff and be expressive and still have whatever you come up with usually feel at home in the composition.

We almost went to Greece earlier this year but ended up going to Sicily instead which was incredible. Greece is for sure high on the list. I love the Mediterranean.

Hey Isaac,
In case the user interface for Mastodon is part of why you stepped away from it, keep in mind that there are LOTS of interfaces that you can use for Mastodon.

I use Elk.zone, for instance, which I find to be more like old school Twitter than X, without the cursed algorithm.

That's just a fun little thing I do to keep my website more exciting for you. Gives it that kinda wild west anything goes vibe.

In all seriousness I'm not sure what you're talking about I have an SSL cert and it's working fine over here. The payment processor for my web shop wouldn't operate if it wasn't working properly.

One of the most beautiful things in the #FOSS movement is that it encourages all #YOUsers to participate. The Rakurri Brushes been created so #AdobePhotoshop #Art and #Artists can adopt #Krita easy.

@gfkdsgn Cool to know. Like I said though I'm pretty happy with my setup and Photoshop aside, there is really no viable replacement for some of the Adobe tools I use in my professional client work. There is no solid replacement for Illustrator and InDesign period.

The alternatives available are not FOSS and/or are very much not up to snuff and would not allow me to properly work with files I get handed by the companies I work with. It's just not at all an option for what I do unfortunately.

@gfkdsgn And as far as Procreate is concerned, it's not FOSS but the $10 license I got for it originally all the way back in 2012 is still valid. I think the company making the app are some great people that really care about the creative community and aren't just trying to milk everyone for all the money they have. I'm happy to continue supporting them until that changes.

@gfkdsgn For what I do I assure you that inkscape is not a viable replacement. I do a lot of work with very technical packaging print files with dielines and cad drawings and that sort of thing and I use a plugin suite on top of it that adds a ton of other functionality on top of just the base Illustrator toolset. Inkscape is 100% not up to snuff. I've tried it. Please just take my word for that.

It's such a great read, I agree:)

I know there are many that aren't crazy about cross posting with other protocols, namely Bsky here, but when it comes to artists/artisans it makes total sense for their livelihoods.

If you could maintain your presence here and push to the other platforms, that seems like the smartest idea. If/when the other VC backed, profit seeking places crash .. as they surely will, you're home safe.
