I’ll likely do a few art challenges for myself (thinking of birbfest in January), but not hosting anything on Nostr for a while. Here are some links for ideas and prompts to keep you going… View quoted note →

@RUNSTR matches well with this. Increasing my step count another 500 steps in January. 🚶 #walking #fitnessover50 View quoted note →

Had a friend join me on the back patio for morning sun and tea. 🫖 Nice end to a good year. #photostr #lizard #sun

@nostr.build - here’s my entry for your contest…. “A Visit from St. Nostrolas / Twas the Night Before Christmas” - an animated adaptation by me with narration by Boyfriend. Created in Procreate and iMovie on my iPad. No AI. If anyone wants to download a higher-res, 1080 version, go here:

Finished my Nostr Xmas animation video for the @nostr.build contest! 🎉 Taking a break before adding credits and compressing for sharing. I’d seen this meme all over IG and TikTok and it is an accurate representation of my relief having completed this project in time. #vidstr #meme #dance

Re-watched Now You See Me last night. Re-watching the second movie tonight, then all set for the new/3rd movie for New Year’s Eve. 🍿 Some of the Deleted Scenes were interesting: same scenes as in the final movie, but a different location or the set dressing was completely different. #filmstr #movie

@RUNSTR - I signed up and looked around. Got a lot of cool stuff in here. 👏💜 It looks like the app only pulls info via Location. Are there plans to pull/calculate effort from other sources? I walk daily, often in my house, so Location info is useless. The Pedometer++ app calculates distance based on height and sex, and the sMiles app uses the iOS Health app for Steps and Walking+Distance. I’d love to use this app, so wondering if a later version will account for non-Location based entries?

30 seconds of flowing water. In case you need a Nature break. 🫂 #vidstr #touchgrass #outdoors #water

Back to work on my entry for the @nostr.build video contest. ✍️ Loving my screen glove. So much easier to use Procreate when the canvas doesn’t randomly jump around when I accidentally touch it with my wrist. #artstr #vidstr #procreate #artprocess #contest View quoted note →

GM! Happy Merry Christmas Eve Day wherever you are!!! I didn’t make any new Nostr Xmas graphics this year, so here are some from 2023, my first Nostrmas. #christmas #nostrmas #grownostr

78F today so took some time to walk in the park because I’ll miss this weather in February. #proofofwalk #touchgrass #treestr

I assumed since Procreate Dreams came out, Procreate didn’t have any animation features any more. It does! And they’re pretty cool and do exactly what I need. Also, creating hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation is a bit tedious. 😅 #procreate #animation #contest

Happy Solstice!

Spent the morning updating apps and OS. Then created a test recording in Procreate, and imported it into iMovie. I’ve used iMovie for years to create fan music videos, but this is the first time I’ve used that program on my iPad. After figuring out where the controls were, I imported the Procreate recording and did some edits. Proof of Concept Accomplished!!! Now on my way to having a submission for the @nostr.build video contest. 🎉
