From Dec. 19-Jan. 2 Studio Slowcore is officially on holiday.

Happy holidays. 🎄

By request, Studio Slowcore is now publishing the Public Domain Art Portal (formerly public domain art of the day) in newsletter format on Substack.
We released the first issue a few days ago.
The team will be taking a holiday break and minimizing screen time from Dec. 19-Jan. 2.
Looking forward to publishing more ...

This "quick and dirty" tool looks intriguing. Bookmarked so I can try it out with my own images later.
@huugo's mini-app (based on Christopher Alexander's book A Pattern Language) is the only one I still check every day, BTW.

I took a few days "off" from casting public domain art of the day here while I edited the first issue of the Public Domain Art Portal -- i.e., the upcoming newsletter version of this project that got its start on Farcaster.
Just a few finishing touches and it'll be ready.
So those who've been requesting a newsletter/...

If any followers of /blxstonesnctuary would like to request a little boost from the goddess Benzaiten on Snake Day, be sure to let @pichi know, as she will be making offerings at several shrines in Kyoto today.
It’s SNAKE DAY which means I’m going on an epic adventure to visit as many Benzaiten Shrines and Temples as I can in Kyoto today!
Benzaiten is the goddess of all that flows: luck, money, and artist’s inspiration.
She’s the only female goddess among the 7 Lucky gods of Japan and has a very close relationship with whi
