I designed this logo for Dreadnought, a software development company that the client is creating.

He wanted the design to be fairly minimalistic, featuring a battleship from the Victorian era that's seen from an angle. Ideally the company name should be on the side of the battleship.

I'm available for new projects! Feel free to message me here or through email at contact@johnery.com

More proof in todays Grauniad that any #creative endeavour has been increasingly turned into a permanent side hustle rather than a secure career (which AI wil make worse), with what appear to be fairly "successful" indie musicians all having to juggle second jobs (and not all conventional employers will tolerate someone taking time off to tour, as the Northern lad in the first part of the article found out)

It's getting decidedly wintery around here, so here's something to fit the mood: „The Shrine“ from a few years back ❄️

A vector illustration showing an isometric part of a wintery scene: a small stream that is running into a frozen lake with fishes unter the ice, a fox sleeping in it's burrow, a few trees, flying crows and a deer next to a small shrine.

* AltRealities: Pitfalls *

Crafting alternate history can be an exciting #creative journey, but it's not without its challenges. Here are some common #pitfalls to avoid when looking into this #genre.

Imagine how changing any major #world #event would create ripples in #history. How would it affect everything that came after it? How would it shape the world today? It's a bit like asking, "What if something major in the #past had turned out another way?"

I, and most of the people I work with, would rather make creative projects than work on capitalist corporate software, but we have to work on the latter.

Humans are cooperative and creative by default. They only go against that nature if forced to in order to survive.

Apparently, #university degrees in the #creative arts or #media and #communications lead to the lowest #life satisfaction:

https://www.pwc.co.uk/economic-services/ukeo/documents/ukeo-does-studying-an-undergraduate-degree-make-you-wealthier-and-happier.pdf

Although the analysis was carried out by PwC, so they would say that, wouldn't they?

Then again, #Celtic studies is rated highest.

The new test #prints I ordered from #Inprnt arrived super fast! 🎉

And just like last time they're just tooo good! ✨

I had the please to do all things design for my brothers and his now wife's (👋) #wedding this summer! They wanted it to be like a nice #evening around the #campfire with friends (and it totally was! ^__^) so I tried to capture that feeling in this #illustration.

Their #cats are named after #Ghibli characters, so obviously I had to include that ^__^

Why I won’t buy an #iPad (and think you shouldn’t, either)
https://memex.craphound.com/2010/04/01/why-i-wont-buy-an-ipad-and-think-you-shouldnt-either/

This article by #CoryDoctorow from 2010(!) is more valid than ever. Not just related to iPads but for the whole #Apple ecosystem. You rarely own an Apple device whose biggest value it only gets by accessing the walled gardens Apple has total control over.

It's for #consumers and not for people who want to play with their devices in a #creative way!

And this is why Apple is so bad for #school.

Muse As Magnet - Why I Compose and Write - my #creative #mission statement

Started this in spring for the 20 years of #Inkscape (1.3) #anniversary #splashscreen #contest but then moneywork happened. So what better time to post it now on Inkscape's actual birthday, Nov. 6!

Definitely inspired by #LofiGirl ^__^

I think I like the version without the person better, what do you think?

Vector drawing of a room in the evening. There's a desk placed in front of an open window with a laptop running Inkscape  on it. Outside the window (a black cat on the windowsill) is a fantastic landscape with Godzilla, ghosts, a castle, a dragon, a flying bus, crystals etc.
Full version of the same drawing showing more of the room, on the left there's an original Playstation running Diablo on an old TV. On the right an old-school cassette player/radio and a bedside cupboard. Lots of books, manga and magazines are strewn all over the room.
Another version of the illustration with a person sitting in the chair, eyes closed in thought, flipping a pencil. They have green-blue hair and brown skin, wearing a hoodie and short pants.

Happy #GodzillaDay, everyone! 🦖

Here's a sneak peak of a piece I'm almost finished with that interestingly features a Godzilla-like creature in the background ^__^

Whispering some good news into the ether tonight. Today I filed the legal paperwork to officially form an #LLC that will allow me the freedom to do more #creative work. It was a heavy lift mentally and financially, but, damn, did I need that win. Celebrating with a #bourbon pour and a piece of pecan pie. #grabbingaspoon #humblebrag #amwriting

People seem to think that today's #Halloween #costumes are #creative and super #scary.

I beg to differ. 😱

These #vintage #homemade costumes are some of the #scariest outfits I've ever seen! OMG!

A set of vintage black & white photos of children wearing homemade Halloween costumes. They are very disturbing images, to put it mildly. 

Three kids wearing dirty clothes and boots have whole-head masks on that, honestly, look like real pig's heads.

Four kids wearing combinations of dirty clothes, sheets, and blankets have whole-head masks on that may be made out of cloth (but it's hard to tell for sure). Regardless, the cut-out eyes, crooked mouths, and weird wigs and hats make the children appear ghoulish.

Three people wearing costumes. 

One is wearing a relatively normal-looking dress but their head looks like a dark brown or black Mr Potato Head toy with huge round eyes and a scraggly mouth with a light-colored Pippi Longstockings wig. He or she may have a corncob pipe in their mouth. 

Another is dressed as a scary clown, complete with pointy hat and a white face and dark (red?) nose and lips. 

The third may be dressed up as a gypsy but it's hard to tell in the photo. They're wearing a dress (or blouse and skirt) that are part-solid colored and part-patterned. Their face is covered in white makeup and they have thin, twisted hair hanging down past their shoulders. It's probably a wig but it's hard to know for sure.

Six kids (?) wearing normal-looking street clothes (pants, shirts, or dresses) but each is wearing a "mask" over their heads. Each "mask" is different. They appear to be made out of boxes that are just big enough to put their heads into. Each one is, of course, flat on the sides and on the top but they're covered in black "hair" that's probably made from yarn, I'd guess. The "hair" hangs down the sides of each "mask", including the face - except that each face has been cut free of the yarn so that the result is a black head with a white face. (Probably looks pretty spooky in the dark.) Each face has a cone nose (think of having an ice cream cone in the center of your face) with eyes and a mouth cut out of the box so the wearer can see and speak.

#Halloween seems to be my my most favourite festive thing (understandably, since it's such #goth #horror #pagan #holiday), because here's the second thing I did for it:

Illustration of a tiny grandma fairy (she's smaller than a mushroom that can be seen in the background) with brown skin, white hair and a giant witch's hat. She's holding a magic wand with a star on it's tip and i running along the undergrowth, talking to her glowing skull friend.
Same illustration but she has round golden glasses.

Hi! ^__^

Which variant do you like best? Anything I could change / do better?

I found out recently the @kde is doing a #wallpaper #contest for #plasma6!

Themes are:

- Trustworthy […]
- „A reflection of me“ (i.e. personalized, familiar, comfortable, „fits like a glove“)
- Personal growth […]

What my #subconscious has come up with is kind of a #solarsystem #model?

#FediArt #MastoArt #CreativeToots #JfmlArt #art #illustration #creative #DigitalArt #blender #blender3d #b3d #planets #abstract

Abstract model of a solar system on a pink / salmon coloured floor, rendered with Blender3D. A big glowing orb in the centre, with copper circles (orbits) around it. More spheres on the circles (planets) with copper rings (orbits) and smaller spheres (moons) around the center. They're all made of „natural“ materials, like glass, wood, fabric, copper etc.
Portrait variant of the same motif but with a smaller sun and three blue glass half-spheres arranged around the sun, protecting it?
Another variant with green sphere cuts shielding the sun, wrapping around it from above instead of the sides like the last variant.
Last variant, again with blue glass, this time they kind of look like an abstract blossom or leaves, enclosing the sun?

Hobbies aren't frivolous activities that keep us occupied when we're not doing other, more "important" stuff. They are an absorption of our mind, hand, and skills -- deep interests that demand our creativity, and reward us with a sense of profound accomplishment.

Instead of complaining about the mood on #mastodon I will do my best to help lift the mood today.

Do you have like one article that you keep coming back to over and over again as sound advice about life?

I have one regarding #creativity —> https://possibilitychange.com/the-different-seasons-of-creativity-finding-and-following-your-patterns/

Whenever I get frustrated about progress or lack of it, I always come back to this small article. I hope it can offer you some insight. #creative #seasons
