Tried out making forged carbon fiber parts. It's tricky, but satisfying.

I'm going to take up smoking today! Does that count? Maybe drinking. Or both.
SIGH

I really need to start knitting again.

I’ve committed to being perma-stoned for the next 4 years. That should be fun.

Started a new drawing!

It's going to be a picture of the adult form of my angel OC, Goodie! I drew this one months ago

The rough concept sketch of his adult form! The absolute state of my sketches... 😂

I rediscovered comics books via privacy enabled by foss apps on Android.

Some of the storylines for mainline comics have gotten weird.

Any apps to recommend?

Kotatsu is probably the best, has a lot of sources built in and you can add more relatively easily.

I've started a new hobby of carving 印章 (yìnzhāng or seals or so-called "chops"). They're those red things that you see on Chinese calligraphy and paintings. I got a beginner's set of tools and practice stones on Sunday, and found time today to make my first attempt.

Which I naturally botched.

But it's easy to undo your mistakes with a very coarse grit grinding pad followed by a fine grit sandpaper, so I'm all set up to try again possibly tomorrow. I expect to have my first chop that's not a complete embarrassment ready to photograph by the end of the weekend.
