Classic MacPaint Art
From July of last year, the blog called decryption posted a bunch of wondrous examples of 1-bit MacPaint art from the early days of the platform. MacPaint had a distinctive aesthetic: tiny dots, each either white or black, favored the use of dithering to create makeshift […]
Just finished reading “Buffalo Hunter Hunter’ by Stephen Graham Jones last night.
Whoa!
Gripping from start to finish, extremely well done, makes me curious for more Western Horror.

Playing around with some texture brushes and decided to sketch my favorite Bug Boyz, Zuckuss and 4-LOM.

The image depicts a vintage computer setup, featuring a CRT monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. The monitor displays a simple graphic of two crossed pencils, one a pencil and the other a pen, symbolizing writing or drawing. The computer has a bulky, boxy design typical of early personal computers, with a large, square monitor and a separate keyboard. The keyboard is connected to the monitor by a cable, and a mouse is positioned to the left of the keyboard. The background is a gradient of black to white, with a dotted texture that adds depth to the image. The overall style is reminiscent of early digital illustrations, with a monochromatic color scheme and a halftone dot pattern. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B
