Say... Why not go full Fedi and open an account on Pixelfed too?:

in reply to *The* Paul Brown • • •@Bro666 Thanks man, really appreciate it.
I actually did (probably still do?) have Pixelfed account kicking around, I just remember that the site ran really badly a couple years ago and it was pretty dead for content. Has it improved much since then?
*The* Paul Brown
in reply to Isaac LeFever • • •It works fine: solid and stable. As for content, it is no Instagram! But that is up to us the users to correct, right?
Also: perfect integration Pixelfed <-> Mastodon.
Speaking selfishly, I don't use Instagram (or FB, or Threads, or X, or... You get the idea: I am one of _those_ people), but would definitely like to see your new projects in my feed.

in reply to Rafa Font 🌻 🇪🇺 🏀 • • •@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.

in reply to Metafrastis • • •@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.

in reply to Isaac LeFever • • •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.

Unknown parent • • •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.

in reply to Vector Hugo • • •@gfkdsgn Yeah mostly raster/pixel. I do vector stuff occasionally when a client project calls for it.
Haven't tried Krita but I'm quite pleased with Procreate and have a workflow I like a lot and a lot of brushes I really adore, so no reason to hop to something new really.

in reply to Vector Hugo • • •@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.

in reply to Isaac LeFever • • •While I still agree with you @nicetriangle on #InDesign vs. #Scribus, it's different with #Illustrator vs. @inkscape and #Photoshop vs. @Krita and #Dimensions #AfterEffects vs. @Blender
However, looking forward to see more of your artworks

in reply to Isaac LeFever • • •such incredible work, so glad someone I follow boosted your post:)
I'm glad you're giving Mastodon another shot.... it will likely be the last one standing in the years to come when everything else takes the predictable quick rise (corp/VC) followed by enshitification.
Isaac LeFever
in reply to lps • • •@lps thanks so much, glad you enjoyed my doodles.
And yeah I think I might agree about mastodon. I just read a really good article by Cory Doctorow on just this topic pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/uly…
Pluralistic: Bluesky and enshittification (02 Nov 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

in reply to Isaac LeFever • • •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.

Haven't been to Bologna yet but it's on the bucket list for sure. It looks lovely from some photos I've seen.
