Finally! A new #bookmaking project! We discovered traveller’s notebooks this year. Love the concept but wanted to have one that was #vegan AND not made of plastic. I also wanted to make my own inserts. These are prototypes to see if the concept could work. I am so proud of these! I learned a great deal and am planning on making a larger one for A5 notebooks.

BOOSTS APPRECIATED. #introductionpost I'm Bowie. I'm a 46 year old bi trans man🏳️‍⚧️I'm a creative guy, a bit eccentric, a witch, polyamorous, plural, ND and disabled. I love learning, #reading, creating, #cats and this year I'm the process of exploring goth music. I'm a witch, a wanderer, a thinker. If you're #trans, #lgbtqiaplus or an #ally, #leftist, #creative, a #witch #goth #plural, #polyamorous, #disabled, #ND, #catlover or just a good egg, give me a follow and I'll follow back.(No minors).

Human art enjoyers! I've been very lucky with offline #slop but recently a rando a café thought it was cool to have that vomit on their walls (fittingly it was on the toilet 💩) which inspired me to this.

I'd love to hear uplifting news, stories, or just things y'all are creating and doing. I'm getting bogged down in the doom.

Someone just shared with me #Apple's new creative suite service, #CreatorStudio. I'm not going to consider it for obvious reasons. And you shouldn't either!

Even if it ends up being a quality suite, DO NOT USE IT. It's a trap! There are free apps that do the exact same thing as these creative suites. They only exist to get you comfortable enough in them that you feel an intense sense of sunk cost in your familiarity so you can never stop paying for the service.

I do not care that the price looks better than #Adobe's #CreativeCloud. It's still 100% more than you should ever have to spend on software. Especially when I know for a fact that it WILL enshittify.
That is, if it hasn't *already* been an "agentic app" with "AI" shoved up every orifice, which you have to work around just to do any work!

IT'S A SCAM.

Its my birthday this weekend.

Some people hate theirs but I love it. I was born a middle aged looking baby - and I am FINALLY growing in to my final form. Every year I get a little bit more comfortable. A tiny tad more interested in stuff. And, of course, fatter with more grey hair.

So if you want to send me a congrats, do something creative, write a poem, a naughty limerick, draw something, take a photo of something neat, tell me a fact. <3
