Supernova & Threads
Posted on August 14th 2023
I recently joined a couple more social media sites - Supernova and Threads.
Threads probably needs no introduction as it’s Meta’s attempt at replacing X the platform formally known as Twitter.
Supernova is more like old school Instagram, before it got taken over by Meta and tried to become TickTock.
It advertises itself as the social network for a positive world and donates part of it’s advertising income to charities chosen by the site’s members.
My experience with Supernova so far is that it is a much more pleasant place to hang out than most of the other platforms out there.

Drawing for the Instagram art challenge set by Tony Helms and the Pose Archive.
I’m not sure if it’s just me but I get an Agents of Shield vibe from what I came up with, the original, 1968, comic book version that is.

Another monster based on a kid’s drawing.
Every Friday the Instagram’s Monsters Go page posts a child’s monster drawing - artists are then challenged to draw the design in their own style.
This is my version of a creature that was drawn by Mason.
Dungeons and Dragons

This dungeon raiding party was drawn for Paul Kaultz - Paul is an author for whom I have illustrated a couple of books. This time he wanted a drawing of his family’s Dungeons and Dragons characters. They started a campaign during Covid lockdown and have carried on to this day.
