2023 is coming near and there are whispers even here. What has happened there or here? What else do you hear? Two words with little explanation... something maybe foreign... Latin? Argentum Arbitus. One wracks their head and fiddlely sticks tries for a translation... a silver... silver tree? Perhaps. But where?

2022 coming to a close... the winds are changing and winter is coming (#GameofThrones #WinterintheNorth), there are whispers however and many things one overhears on many different platforms... tumblr stirs and realizes the v studio has Moved. ... 2023 is coming. And the words are this, cryptic and short: Argentum Arbitus. ... two more words on a sister and softer wind: the Silver Silvan Tree.

It feels like every time I speak of something... that signals something else to come in and gunk up the works XD

"Gone fishing (for rest and thoughts) till April."

"The cats have taken over the studio."

"We are ok. But some things need to be put on hold."

Is... is this a project pitch? Maybe. Maybe it is.

Imagine something that looks like The Oasis in Ready Player One / The Internet in Wreck-it-Ralph 2 / the virtual layer or world in SpaceJam 2 the New Legacy and Free City (the player zone) in Free Guy without quests or powerups or levels. Quests, powerups, and levels are in the gaming rooms not the main lobby or hallways.

...portfolios...how do people put together portfolios??

Even looking at old work vs new work, by the way I love looking at those kinds of posts, but is it a creative/artist/writer thing to just completely CRINGE at looking at their own or what? 😅 Journeying to the past is always weird. 😂 I'm... processing.

Also, I really wish I could have gone to see Anastasia the Broadway musical but I'm so far from Broadway that would not be realistically possible, so instead I listen to the soundtrack on Spotify when the mood strikes me or load up the animated film and it feels high time for a rewatch. Love the show and the music too.

(In process of gathering together old work and writings. I need to put together a dump file/pit and then a scrapped version of a portfolio just for me to figure out how to even organize into piles and then collect ideas new and old into a better notebook and then also figure out on an online and professional or semi professional portfolio. Omg this is going to take forever, it looks like a LOT of work just finding everything, excuse me while I go crazy a little bit. I may wail on social media because the workload is real.)

Trying to put together a website.

Feel like a dinosaur.

Attempting to work with WiX template.

Feels like someone gave me colorpencils when all I've worked with is Crayola crayons lol.

I remember basic HTML and used to know some CSS. No longer. But I've never really used WYSIWYG type programs much.

This may take a while.

Current workstation. Plus last year's birthday present. Things have been crazy enough that I only got around to properly setting up the Cintiq... last month? Also finally bought a corkboard, and pushpins. Yeah I haven't even taken off the plastic yet. Just stick a pin in it. Also, yes, 30°C >< I miss autumn so much but the region I'm based in is hot, sunny, humid, with rains (love the rain, the rest... not so much) all year round.

Happy Halloween and All Hallows Eve. May you spook safely and not get sick on too much candy. ;)

Good Gods I miss Halloween (it's not much of a thing in my region so I get it virtually and vicariously).

My Inktober 2021 work. Not planned. Just felt like doing something with the sharpies/ Available material. You don't always need fancy things or a big plan. I go by feel often enough. I do wish I had more time to work on bigger projects (or Finish / abandon them in more finished states) but sometimes it's also good to just do something as a form of fun or unwinding. And this certainly was that.

There are lines because it IS on lined paper. It's a page of one of my reclaimed/repurposed books or my collection of planners heh. Sometimes the blank page or quality materials trick my brain into "omg so much pressure."

> Does Uncipherable Studios have any other Social Media?

We do! We have a Facebook Page.

https://www.facebook.com/uncipherable

  And, we... um... have some presence perhaps on Twitter. But like I said, we need to do a lot of restructuring and figure out current tools so we probably need a relaunch at some point and I don't see that happening anytime soon or before 2022.

> Huh. Ok... Instagram presence? Do you have any members or friends there too?

secret.of.the.fox has recently joined. (Instagram, not Tumblr) But it's going to be a meme and quotes and word art kind of a thing I think, perhaps attached to or collaborating with the original @TLPbookquotes on Twitter. But please be patient. They want to do it right. And still, a labor of love on free time. We have no patrons, not yet at least. We're still trying to set things up properly.
