The release of my latest curation: Light Show

 Hi all!

I'm so excited to share with you all today the release of my brand new curation of photographic art over at my art website, Atmospheric Noise.

this one is near and dear to me. It's been an ongoing photographic project spanning over a decade of work, and I'm finally ready to put it out into the world, in its entirety. The main focal point of the series is large enough that it should just be its own thing - but I think as I release the full curation over the coming months, you'll see how they all play together.

Introducing:

Light Show: an exploration into the subtle nuance and movement of light.

The focal series in the curation is titled feu d'artifice, and it represents over a decade of hand-held shooting long exposures at fireworks.  I will be releasing these prints slowly over the next few months to ensure that they all have their time to shine.  Select images will be available on my Etsy shop, but the full curation will be available for purchase on my website: https://www.atmospheric-noise.com/light-show


There are four other sub-series that will be part of the Light Show curation - one released today, and the other three will be released over time along with the focal series.  The additional series are:

I hope that you'll check out my artwork and give my shop a like and a follow!

Stardew Valley - My favorite video game is now a graph pattern!!

  As I have talked about before, I am an extremely eclectic creator. I am currently working on everything from drawing to pattern designing - and my work is always guided by my mood (I find I create better art that way). I consider myself to also be a bit of a nerd - I enjoy board games and video games, computer coding and website design. For a while, I've been working on a series behind the scenes - I haven't talked about it much because it's huge and I didn't know when I thought I might be able to release it... but on September 22, 2024, an announcement was made that made me decide I needed to kick this project into high gear and at least get some of it done now, and released for everyone's enjoyment!

Stardew Valley is releasing the 1.6 update on mobile on November 4, 2024!!!  

You guys... Stardew Valley is literally my favorite video game of all time. I have the most playtime of any game I've ever played (including Skyrim and RDR), across multiple systems (I have it on mobile, PC and Switch). Mobile is my favorite way to play, still to this day, and I haven't played on any other console since the update came out because I want to enjoy it on my currently 8 year old farm!

I have been working on a set of Stardew Valley graph patterns over the past few months. It's been slow going, but when this announcement came out, I went laser focused to get some ready for release. This first round of patterns I'm releasing certainly isn't all of the sets that I plan on releasing, but these ones are ready now, and I wanted to get them out and shared ahead of the drop of the new 1.6 update!

Without further ado, I present to you my newest graph creations: The Stardew Valley Collection!

Stardew Valley Villager Fan Packs!

Eventually, every dateable NPC will have their own pack, but they aren't all ready for release. I have four packs that are being released today! Each pack includes all of the villagers loved items, movies and character portraits that you can use to make a unique blanket all your own! I've included suggestions for six different layouts you can create using each pack, but you can also use your own imagination to put them together however suits you best!
