Time's End, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a statue of a woman reaching up with light emanating from her hand. On the background there are ruins of a building with plants growing amidst the remnants of a broken stained glass window framing a sky filled with stars.

Sea of Giants, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a night scene on a desert landscape with giant rocks, some of them sculpted. A giant statue of a woman indirectly points at a moon/planet in the sky. The sky is full of stars and 4 comet-like phenomenon.

I have so little time for personal art nowadays that it has become precious to me. This year of 2025 I made these two that I adore - Time's End and Sea of Giants, both for a personal project :)

The corner of a building takes up most of the frame, a picture taken from the street looking up at the building. One side in shadow and the other lit by the sun. The background is a deep blue sky.

A landscape photo of a street in Vancouver. Several buildings on the right side of the frame converge into the center of the frame, meeting the mountains in the background. A bright blue sky sets the mood.

A light blue sky fills the image - in the foreground, in complete shadow, are the silhouettes of a fence andtwo people walking

A landscape image. The foreground, lower half, is dark, mostly trees, buildings, and some industrial cranes. The background, upper half, is the star of the image - a beautiful snowy mountain rises above it all, lit in a pink hue from the setting sun.

Taking a photography course has been great! I've been enjoying the assignments with simple prompts, as it gets me out the door snapping more pics.

Itโ€™s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim โ€œadult illustrationsโ€ is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They donโ€™t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and itโ€™s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game from @owlcatgames.bsky.social (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish ๐Ÿฅฒ.

I've been finding that IG does weird stuff to my images. I'd like to try and start posting more photos here!

It's been discomforting to see cherry blossoms this early in the year. On the bright side of it, I'm thrilled to have captured this bee ๐Ÿ

Hi #portfolioday ! I'm winding down freelance work and winding up a TTRPG project I hope to get kickstarted, so here is some work for my last TTRPG, The Woods At Blight's Hollow!

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE 404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a โ€œconfidence scoreโ€ of their address.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. ๐Ÿงต
