Hi there, Merveilles! My name is Eden (They / She) and I'm an artist exploring complex feelings with simple shapes.
If you'd like to see more of my work, you can do so at http://www.helveticablanc.com
I'm excited to be a part of this instance! 💞
Planning now to get a little fun box to experiment with computing one day, but mostly to play with @neauoire's Uxn os.

Hmm, I think I'll just keep the NC in there to be safe.
I suppose one downside is someone could just...sell my work without making any changes. But I intentionally don't put any super-high-quality images up on the internet, so maybe that's a wash?
I've been mulling over making all my art a more permissive version of CC. Currently I'm thinking BY-NC-SA 4.0, but I'm considering dropping the NC if only because I feel that artists should be compensated for their work — even if it builds on the work of others.
I DO wanna' keep the SA in there to prevent exploitation from larger corps or unscrupulous folks, tho. That'll hopefully keep the "pass it forward" vibe I'm trying to capture.
Am I missing a big downside?
Woke up thinking about this collage zine I made a couple years ago and handed out at SPX. You can download it for free here:
The Holy City of Wormwood. Located at the heart of the Empire, the eternal tree gives Mind to all who drink or eat from it. The Nōmes guard it, and go to great lengths to keep animals away.

My dream would be to have something like a netbook (that 10-inch format was so cool), but something where I understand what's going on inside so I can repair instead of replace.
Lately I've been feeling the urge to learn more about computer basics: building one, trying to make Linux work, etc. Maybe I should pick up a raspberry pi and just start noodling. 🤔
If you've ever wondered what I post on Patreon, I've made a typical post available to the public. I now post process videos along with exclusive sketches every Saturday afternoon!
Kinda wanna mock this up sometime for fun.
Lying awake and idly imagining a computer that I'd actually enjoy using.
A tablet / laptop with an e-ink screen, solid software for drawing and music, and an OS whose interface is a little tamagotchi-thing who lives on the desktop. No docks or start buttons. Just a friend.
