Been away for a while but maybe gonna try to give mastodon a fair shake again. So uh... here's some recent illustration work as an ice re-breaker....

@nicetriangle these are delightful! Thanks for sharing.
@yetanotherjesse thanks man, glad you enjoyed them!
@nicetriangle These are wonderful. Do you have an online store link or instagram link?

@wendinoakland Thanks Wendy!

Yeah I'm on instagram at http://instagram.com/nicetriangles and I have a web shop with some prints at http://nicetriangle.com/shop

@nicetriangle Kewl! And definitely add the links to your earlier post! 😻
@nicetriangle Gorgeous, brought a lovely bit of calm to my timeline
@moh_kohn Thanks! Happy to brighten your feed a bit
@nicetriangle They have such a strong European vibe! Do you accept commissions? I'm running a newsletter on European topics and this style would strongly fit, I think.

@rafa_font Thank you! Indeed this stuff is Euro inspired. I'm from the states but I live in Amsterdam and these are based on photos I took in Portugal, Italy, and Spain.

And yes I do take commission work, but I'm booked up or traveling for the rest of the year so I won't have any openings until about mid January.

@nicetriangle Lucky you :) I'll send you a message through your website to let you know more and to ask you about a price range to see if it fits my budget.
@rafa_font message received, I'll get back to you this weekend with some info
@nicetriangle @rafa_font Funny, I literally couldn’t decide wether your images were from Italy, Spain or Portugal. I love the summer feelings I get from your art. Next southern Europe stop: Greece? πŸ™‚

@dgavin thanks! yeah I really like those areas of Europe as a drawing subject. They have great colors and this sort of perfect imperfection to the buildings that I find so charming. It also gives you a lot of leeway to riff and be expressive and still have whatever you come up with usually feel at home in the composition.

We almost went to Greece earlier this year but ended up going to Sicily instead which was incredible. Greece is for sure high on the list. I love the Mediterranean.

@nicetriangle Those are gorgeous! Enough that I dug through this damn UI to figure out how to follow.
@onealexharms lol I appreciate the effort. Glad you dig the art!

@nicetriangle

I saw your art on r/malaga! It is pretty wonderful. Love your style. Great eye for capturing the spirit of the places.

Say... Why not go full Fedi and open an account on Pixelfed too?:

@Bro666 Thanks man, really appreciate it.

I actually did (probably still do?) have Pixelfed account kicking around, I just remember that the site ran really badly a couple years ago and it was pretty dead for content. Has it improved much since then?

@nicetriangle

It works fine: solid and stable. As for content, it is no Instagram! But that is up to us the users to correct, right?

Also: perfect integration Pixelfed <-> Mastodon.

Speaking selfishly, I don't use Instagram (or FB, or Threads, or X, or... You get the idea: I am one of _those_ people), but would definitely like to see your new projects in my feed.

@Bro666 cool I'll have to dust off that pixelfed account and give it another spin some time soon. Instagram has not been so great for me for the last year, I miss what it used to be a lot
@nicetriangle
These are gorgeous!
Hope you stick around and post more of your art. πŸ˜„
@floreana thanks so much, yes I'm planning to keep posting more art. this has been a very warm welcome back
@nicetriangle Oh woah those city landscape are absolutely my art vibe, feel free to share more!
@NIGHTEN glad yo dig em, I'll definitely be posting more soon
@nicetriangle beautiful, congrats! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
@nicetriangle Nice! What’s your medium?
@CWilbur thanks! this is digital, I use an app called procreate and then usually do a little color adjustment and texture stuff at the end in photoshop

@nicetriangle Hot dang!!πŸ‘€βœ¨

AMAZING architecture paintings - I really love the perspective & color tones in each piece! πŸ˜˜πŸ‘Œ

Also: welcome back! πŸ₯³ I hope you're able to find/help build a supportive community of excellent people, & an appreciative audience to boot! πŸ™ŒπŸŽ‰

@nicetriangle those are beautiful. I like the aesthetic a lot.
@nicetriangle Welcome back ;).
And gorgeous work, such wonderful details, makes me long for places I've never been.

@nicetriangle Hey Isaac,
In case the user interface for Mastodon is part of why you stepped away from it, keep in mind that there are LOTS of interfaces that you can use for Mastodon.

I use Elk.zone, for instance, which I find to be more like old school Twitter than X, without the cursed algorithm.

@KraftTea ah yeah I've tried Elk in the past, it's not bad. I don't much have an issue with the mastodon interface, I was mainly just struggling to find "my people" last time around. Seems like the ex twitter art community is fractured across several platforms now. I guess we'll see how it goes 🀞
@nicetriangle these are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
@jarulf you're welcome! and thank you!
@nicetriangle These are lovely! I get a real Studio Ghibli feel from them.
@ginnikin wow thanks, that's a huge compliment. Ghibli is amazing.
@nicetriangle Oh wow! Amazing work man!
😍
@nicetriangle amazing works! Welcome back to the fediverse.
@nicetriangle
This is the art I didn't know I wanted until I saw it. It's really beautiful, thank you.
@negative12dollarbill Glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep posting more stuff like this
