I create Starfield graphic novels.

I'm a huge fan of the game, and there is this podcast called "Starfield with Normal People", which has a Discord server, and they organise a weekly "Starfield Adventure Club". Every week, one planet is selected, and we all go there and take screenshots and create a story.

People are very creative, some publish a captains log, for my part, I ended up creating a graphic novel.

For my part, it's a mix of pure screenshots using the photo mode, some generative AI for the covers, and plain old montage using Figma.

I'm having a lot of fun and I'm not tired of it yet, I've been doing this since February. I discovered I had a talent for storytelling and... Air scripting I guess?

2023 has been a monstrosity of a year in all aspects of my life. This comic is self-care for me.

If you want to read a few episodes, you can find them on my Facebook page, as well as on my DeviantArt page.

Enjoy!

On Sunday mornings I fix bicycles at the local community center for free, we just charge the price of materials.
For me is like Zen meditation, it makes my mind focus on one simple task in these crazy times where our attention span is all over the place. And it's good for our community since most of the people that come there are broke college students, families having a hard time and in general people who want to spend time together. Our group is always growing, I'm expecially proud of two kids, children of immigrants, who came to learn from us two years ago and now managed to save enough money to open their own bike repair shop.

Performance art is a passion project. There's absolutely no money in it. I'm lucky to get $100 a gig. I also absolutely HATE that I have to use Instagram while constantly facing an uphill battle of PG-13 censors.

What I do get is a shit ton of really cool photos, skills, and props, as well as a loving community

I make instrumental music. I write, record, produce, and upload everything myself; but barely earn anything from it. 50k+ streams and I think I've only earned $170 so far.

I populate Google Maps. Fill in business names, opening hours, take photos etc. At the start, I was vociferous about it, putting thousands of photos on there. These days, just about everything is there and I only correct stuff and add/remove businesses as they come and go. Oh, and food/menu photos.

Some of my photos have tens of millions of views. Which means people have to see them many times I think. Otherwise every single Australian would have seen the most popular ones, which doesn't make sense.

I'm used to Google just trusting me and immediately doing what I say. But I really had to convince them that Toys R Us really were closing down. That one took three attempts. The more prominent a place, the higher the rank you need to do major edits to it.

I paint. I sold through a gallery for awhile but it just wasn't worth it when I could make ten times more for far less work doing my original job, so now it's back to just for fun. Also I hate painting portraits of rich people but if you don't do that it's really hard to make money. I also hated the mandatory social media removed. Engaging in that ecosystem disgusts me.

I do calligraphy!

Make Gameboy games. Make music. Cook

I crochet little animals for friends and family.
Unasked, most of the time :)

I enjoy photgraphy, mostly buildings and infrastructure, I have a gallery on a personal webhost, and never really share the link to it except to friends and family, but I have tyeblink to it on my CV.
