I should get started posting stuff I guess? My main obsessions are ships and architecture. And trees. Trees are cool. Oh and robots. Here are some of those things.
@ianmcque Welcome! So glad to see you here!
@ianmcque great atmosphere in all of these.
@ianmcque hi! I see you are an artist and want to share your art with us, please check this thread about pictures description https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109279035107793247 as described pics have more chances to be shared here 🙂

We have a lot of blind and partially sighted users on the fediverse. Accessibility is important here, and as such, it's good form to include image descriptions (alt text) when we add media to our posts. When someone uses a screenreader to read the timeline, and the screenreader comes to an image with no alt text, it just says 'image' (as far as I know). That's boring, unhelpful, and provides no clue as to what the image actually *is*. This differs slightly depending on how you're using (cont)

@ianmcque This is pretty cool!
@ianmcque Super happy you hopped onto #Mastodon! I loved seeing your #art frequently on Twitter so this will make Mastodon feel even better / more complete!
@ianmcque that is some wonderful art you've created! :)
@ianmcque Definitely!! Welcome!   I'm so happy to see so many artists jumping over here! Let's free art from the corporate networks - no need to let them profit off of it.
@oxpal @ianmcque Artists aren’t stupid. The one that don’t come over should be scrutinized. Love your art. Are thiose paintings? If they are, you are a genius at your art. Just wonderful.

@SoldierofMisfortune
Heh, yeah. I think it's just tough for many artists to jump on another platform - it's extra time, and the clients might not be here yet.

If you mean the artwork in my post an my site: yeah, they're my paintings. Great to hear you like it so much!

@oxpal Yes, your paintings are amazing!
@ianmcque I love Edinburgh and you never fail to make me wanna be there through your art!
@ianmcque your obsessions are so amazing though 🤩
@ianmcque hashtags?
So people that like the same stuff can find you?
(Just some random thoughts of a stranger)
@ianmcque Awesome! So stoked to see you on Mastodon. Love your art!
@ianmcque really cool illustrations!
@ianmcque
Amazing collection, as always.
@ianmcque ready to like your stuff in one more place xD
@ianmcque your obsessions are our inspiration! :)
@ianmcque these are incredible. 💚
@ianmcque These are so cool! I love airships!
@ianmcque i remember the second one as a sketch you posted on IG, 🥰 so much the difference between them too :)
@ianmcque you can run, you can't hide ;)
@ianmcque These, but especially that third image, remind me greatly of Victor Hugo's ink and coffee drawings. Love them all!

@ianmcque They look amazing, I love that style! Is there a name for it?

Realism, but with a twist?
Surealism?
Comic-Realism?

@ianmcque Hi Ian. Great seeing you here. Below you'll find some infos about using mastodon. It's a bit different than twitter. One of the main rules: Never forget hashtags. Best wishes.

@ianmcque This is great !
And it makes me think about Dishonored.
Thanks for sharing 👍

@ianmcque Welcome Ian, I was hoping we'd see you here. 👋🏻

I'm sure people already told you, but search/discoverability here is driven by tags.

See https://fedi.tips if you need some more information.

@ianmcque That's really cool. Did you have any particular inspiration in mind when drawing this?
Kind of reminds me of old English fishing towns.
@ianmcque welcome Ian. Yes, Please do. Thanks for all the inspiration.

@ianmcque I really like this series!

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the last image recontextualizes the first from "where's the water gone" into "just another day at the dock", which was a nice surprise. 😃

@ianmcque so happy to see you in here 😊
@ianmcque oooh, these are gorgeous!!
@ianmcque Please repost lots, it's always a delight seeing your work on my timeline, Ian. No one does shape language the way you do.
@thewhalergirl @ianmcque Agreed, absolutely loved seeing you art pop up in my Birdsite feed. Would love more here. Fantastic worlds.
@ianmcque
Love the playful colors and that boat. 😍 What a character!
@galactixy_illustrations
@ianmcque Great to see you on here Ian!
