1-bit Commissions - let's try this instead!
Finding a job quickly is not in the cards. Begging for money is not my style. So here's what I'm going to do instead: opening for art commissions. But not just any art: 1-bit art, on my Macintosh Plus from 1986, with a Kensington trackball.
What I'll do:
Scenery!
Maybe a character if it's not too complicated!
Emoji and stickers maybe!
I will do this in whatever art program that will run on a 1986 Mac Plus - I like FullPaint but Kid Pix is also fun!
What you'll get:
A raw PNG image that you can use on your modern computer
A very nice photograph of the image being displayed on an original Mac Plus CRT screen (no fancy shaders here!)
If you really want me to, I'll send you a .DSK image with the original file on it, that you can load in your emulator, Floppy Emu, or write to an actual floppy disk for some reason
If you really, really want me to, I will find a way to record the whole process, probably by jury-rigging my phone up to a tripod and pointing it at the screen while I work, but that's enough of a pain that I'm charging extra for that
What I charge:
$30 for a scene.
$40 for a character, bear in mind I might reject if your character seems really complicated or intricate to draw
$60 if you want me to film the whole process because that's a whole rigamarole.
What I probably won't do:
Gore or nudity
Honestly the more angular your subject, the better, free-hand curves are not easy - did I mention I'm doing this with a trackball
This is the first time I've made this offer, so I'm hoping it's novel enough to spark interest.
If you'd like to get in touch, drop me an email - wild DOT weasel AT gmail DOT com. If I accept your commission, I'll mail you back instructions on how to send payment.

MacAddict January 2004
The only Macintosh you could buy at the beginning of 1984 and the top-of-the-line model at the beginning of 2004 (with a comment inside that "the G5 microprocessor will be inside Macs for five years or more") share space on this issue's anniversary cover. Along with the retrospective cover story, the news section had an interview with Steve Wozniak. "Woz," who'd started his new company "Wheels of Zeus" and owned nine Segway Human Transporters, mentioned he was now using Mac OS X but still missed the Mac OS 9 interface. (One article insisted Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther" was fully worth its $129 upgrade price.)

Mistigram: this is a #teletext adaptation (by @atonalosprey) of #SusanKare's #1bit #geisha illustration accompanying the initial release of Bill Atkinson's #MacPaint for the #AppleMacintosh 39 years ago in 1984. It was included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

The gate (commission, 2023)
This commission was done for @mikejwitz to headline his year-in-review post for @funguszone . The prompt was fairly loose; I was asked if I could paint a scene from any of a laundry-list of games that came out in 2023, one of which was Signalis, which I really love (despite having not beaten it yet - need to restart it and see if I can have fewer chronic ammo shortages 😅).
This specific shot from the game's introduction segment was so striking, and the white-out from the blizzard seemed like it would fit a "paper-white" CRT display so well, that I knew immediately I needed to draw it. On his post, the image takes on a blue coloration and a little bit of extra bloom, but for posterity I'm posting it here from before those effects were applied. (It's up to you which one you prefer.)
Thank you so much to Mike Horowitz for the opportunity!
If you'd like to order a scene commission of your own, this post on my Cohost contains all the relevant details. If you like what I've done here and have no needs in particular, I would thank you immensely if you left me a tip. 🙇♂️
