I'm a part of a working group looking at still image authenticity and we made a survey to collect use cases/user stories to be included in the Appendix of a white paper on the subject. You can take the survey and learn more about it at forms.gle/mt7HwZAz48eU... #culturalheritage #stillimages

Cartoony crow surrounded by women characters.

It's International Women's Day! I've always relied on many women in my data career and life. I strongly believe in collaboration that is reciprocal (it mutually benefits both parties). How do you support your femme colleagues and collaborators?

Cartoony crow tapping a board that reads: Data consultant, digital asset manager, fullstack developer. Newspapers sit on a table; their headlines include: My books are open, remote, freelance, contract work and part time.

My books are open! I help nonprofits, archives, museums, libraries, and creatives manage their IT systems, databases, websites, and media (working files, animations, A/V, infographics, fonts, licenses, comics). Have a project? Email me at danareijerkerk@gmail.com.

Cartoony cat with wide bloodshot eyes with the words imposter syndrome above it.

Monday vibe.

Strawberry doodles and a watercolor cartoony alligator.

A cartoony crying bunny holding a wilted flower.

A cartoony cat holding a giant magnifying glass.

Another white paper published! I partnered with a fellow freelancer to write on AI in healthcare data operations. Here's some of the cartoony art I made for it. I tried to replicate the medieval manuscript art-style, which notoriously had bizarre healthcare imagery. #2dart #whitepaper

Cartoony game over video game menu of a hand holding a notebook with the words game over at the top and a crying rat pulling their ears over their eyes.

Game over menu. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #2dart #dnd

Cartoony rat looking around an empty fridge.

Janice is pissed there's no food. This is one of the OG scenes to set up the premise of the game. I'm working on making Janice's face more cartoony and easier to add tiny animations. #indiegame #gamedev #2dart #dnd #godot

Cartoony hands holding a piece of paper that reads shopping list.

Quest menu! It's going to pop up from the bottom of the screen. If I can figure this out: I also want a subtle animation of the page flapping a little right when you pull it out. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #2dart #dnd

Cartoony crow holding a piece of paper that reads: I'm writing a book on archives and the politics of tribal sovereignty violence in the USA.

I've got news. I'm writing a book on Archives and the Politics of Tribal Sovereignty Violence in the US with Bloomsbury Libraries Unlimited!

Cartoony video game settings menu showing a hand holding coupons.

Redesigned the settings menu! I put filler text for music and voice volumes. I'll use the in-game font for that. #indiegame #gamedev #2dart #godot #dnd

I made this little demo in a few hours today just to see if I could achieve the sort of, midcentury off-kilter background art vibe.

They're just very simple geometries with some grease pencil, which has a subtle noise modifier on it.

Why people use augmented reality in heritage museums: a socio-technical perspective - npj Heritage Science npj Heritage Science - Why people use augmented reality in heritage museums: a socio-technical perspective

I'm writing a technical paper for iPRES on augmented reality digital preservation and came across this interesting article on AR as a socio-technical approach. It's not just the tech stack that matters; the interests and satisfaction of users are equally important. www.nature.com/articles/s40...

Cartoony drawing of people standing around a grocery store.

Cleaning up backgrounds with the correct separation of characters vs backgrounds this time. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #2dart #dnd

Still changing the UI. I made the inventory bigger with buttons you click to move up/down. You click the grocery list icon (top right) to view your quests. Working on the logic for mouse hover and clicks. #godot #indiegame #indiedev #2dart #dnd

Different poses and facial expressions of pregnant character in green socks.

Behold Beatrice, your rogue class companion in "Don't Talk To Me". Besides that I'm fixing menus and designing a modal menu for inspect/talk when you hover over NPCs and objects in the game. #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd #2dart

Medieval art style doodles

I'm working on a white paper on healthcare data operations and made these medieval art-style doodles to go in it.

Found an old prototype for "Late Night Surfing" - a Big Comfy Couch tv show spoof. Timing the mouth movements and getting the overlays to work when you changed channels sucked. You can play the full game for free: decolfutures.itch.io/late-night-s...

Thanks! Rugrats is part of my art references. I'm glad that came through.

Background art for a video game showing grocery store shelves and a ceiling.

Background art for a video game showing a front door and open doorway with a covered window.

Background for a video game showing a curved kitchen floor, green fridge, and pet food bowl.

This weekend I worked on backgrounds. I want to return to the game's front menu next. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #dnd #2d #art

Caw stares at you the reader through a sunset lit window. Text on the window reads: let's meet at DAM and Museums.

I'm attending the DAM and Museums 2026 / Digital Preservation Summit by Henry Stewart Events on February 5th. They just released the agenda and I see a networking session at 10:30am ET. Who else is going? Want to meet up virtually?

Today's progress is this angry snake. I love the idea of rewarding players for doing the weird choice and poking around. Maybe you'll find a treat or an angry snake. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd

I made a comic of my big wins last year doing grown up stuff. #freelance #comic #dam #indiedev

Experimenting with colors in character designs. Also, their perception was high so they saw a door there. #2d #art #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd

I see the vision. #2d #art #godot #indiegame #indiedev #dnd

GAME OVER - by guest composer @ reqwsp on twitter

8 months of progress... #indiegame #gamedev #art #2d #dnd #godot

Prototype user interface of a video game called Don't Talk To Me showing a sleeping cat with a bag on the floor in front of busted glass in a frozen food aisle.

My irl cat's obsession with me inspired my short rest mechanic. You regain some spell slots/health/barbarian charges if you take a cat nap. Sometimes this mystery bodega cat also brings you items. #indiegame #gamedev #2d #art #dnd
