Holy carp! I finally updated my portfolio! http://folio.darkmoongallery.com/

Hey there, I'm Liz! I'm a self-employed illustrator and graphic designer that likes a whole bunch of nerdy and geeky things. #introduction https://mastodon.art/media/ypkX5b7nSarE4OfMIJA https://mastodon.art/media/BvK6B5Q2j3JVvAT-0OE https://mastodon.art/media/IOAw6WrkntyzBDH154o https://mastodon.art/media/gHq0WVWg9Jp5XX8Vt7c

I'm always pretty happy when tinkering with electronics that the Magic Blue Smoke doesn't come out. #madscientist #studioTime #3dprinting

How, on the Maker's green earth, am I out of duct tape?

Is it too dorky to use a font named "Barlow" in a sci-fantasy layout? #graphicDesign

#clipArtOfYesteryear: Anubis and Horus having a kegger.

Ten buckets later and one jam, the paper junk pile under my desk is finally shredded. #studioTime

#babylon5 is on the TV, I'm doing layout, the #octoprint hookup is working for my #3dprinter, and I have a full cup of coffee.
Let's do this.

After performing any major upgrades to your machine, always print the Lucky Cat. #3dprinting #studioTime

One heaping stack of prints later, my laser printer is color calibrated.
And why, for the love of color, is a laser printer, with CMYK toner cartridges, adjusted in the driver by means of RGB sliders? #printerWoes

Way cooler than The Quick Brown Fox. #panagram #typography #graphicDesign

I think the best possible outcome to being self-employed is owing nothing on your tax return. #freelancerLife

Productive day. Taught myself enough of OpenSCAD to teach me how to model basic shapes, import images into a height map, and create a token, which is printing out now on my #3dprinter. All things I didn’t know how to do a week ago. #amArtist

It occurs to me as I stare at digital calipers, a micrometer, roll of soldering wire, a hammer, pick, various boxes of wires, LEDs, breadboards, as well as paint, paper (so much paper), pencils, crayons, Silhouette cutter, and 3d printer, that not everybody does both the art AND technology.

My life is rearranging stacks of paper. #amArtist

I love the smell of hot toner in the afternoon! Smells like...victory. And a need for ventilation. #studioTime

Conveniently enough, one of the best pics I have to test color calibration on my printer happens to be an ad for my stuff. Useful for multiple things. #freelancerLife

There may have been angels singing, but I'm not sure. I was dazzled by the colors. #ECCC #copics #traditionalart

Holy moly, my pro badge for #ECCC came in today. Thirteen year old me is freaking out. #amArtist
