Time to go to my happy place. I'll be streaming 1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7) this afternoon 5/20/25,

on Twitch: twitch.tv/coreyartus

and Moonbeam: moonbeam.stream/Continuum/live

and MakerTube: makertube.net/w/ww2zPQGGtEL5qS

doing art. I'll also be drinking some tea and listening to soft music.

Just an FYI: MakerTube often goes in and out with the stream randomly stopping and starting over as an entirely new recording. You’ll find that refreshing your browser page might help you reconnect… It’s a PeerTube bug and not MakerTube’s issue. FYI.

Would LOVE to hit the “hybrid adopt” goal in today’s stream!! 👀

Current Total: $30

Next Goals:
Draption comm unlock at $40
Hybrid adopt unlock at $50

I'm streaming again this afternoon, 1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7), continuing my piece based on The Wolf and the Lamb fable. I’ll be using it for greeting cards and prints and other stationery stuff.

I’m also going to try again on MakerTube. It was cutting out on my a long while ago, so I stopped. Then it seemed to work again, and then last Wednesday it cut out again. So we’ll see if it actually stays connected this time. My suggestion is for you to keep reload your browser window if it goes out.

I’ll be drinking a pot of tea, listening to soothing music, and generally just relaxing while I’m working. Lurkers are very very welcome!

Today, I’m starting a new image based on the fable "The Tortoise and the Hare” by Aesop.

I’ll be doing it live on Twitch, Moonbeam, and, once again (I am very very happy to say), giving it a shot on MakerTube!

I’ll be drinking a pot of tea, chilling out, listening to soothing music, and doing my best to narrate my process using Procreate.

Lurkers are very welcome!

Okay, so I don't know what happened, but today I decided to just try livestreaming to MakerTube just to see if it would work this time, and things went beautifully. No disconnect issues, no stopping and starting... I'm very happy!

So I'm going to start streaming to MakerTube again! Woohoo! 1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

Here's the recording of today's stream:

I got his haunting "Three Little Pigs" image done today! Woohoo!

I’m going live today on Twitch and Moonbeam to continue my Art Nouveau image of The Three Little Pigs.

I’ll be listening to soft music, indulging in a pot of tea, and generally narrating my process for those following along.

Lurkers are very welcome!

I’ll be uploading the recording to MakerTube when it’s all done, in case you want to throw it up in the background sometime when you’re doing your own work! I really enjoy doing that—it sometimes “fills the room” and makes me feel less alone, you know?

Sadly, I think livestreaming to MakerTube isn’t going to be possible until something gets fixed…

I will get into the habit of uploading my stream recordings, but today’s stream seemed to break down into 5-8 minute segments for a while, then just stopped connecting altogether.

I don’t have that challenge on Twitch or Moonbeam—they’re connecting just fine. So I’m pretty sure now it’s a PeerTube thing.

I’m going to stop livestreaming there and just upload vids for right now. My new one will be up in a while—it takes a long time to upload.

Today I'm streaming on Twitch and Moonbeam, 1-4:00pm PDT (UTC-7).

I want to swing back to MakerTube, but I'm just going to upload my stream recordings for right now. I think there may be a PeerTube bug, currently that's causing issues for non-platform owners who stream to servers they don't administrate. So... Or, it may just be me! LOL!

Today's stream should hopefully be up tomorrow, but they're very very big files, so... hehe...

My stream today will be Part 2 of the creation of an image done in Procreate based on Rapunzel.

I listen to soft music, drink tea, and try to keep a chill vibe! Perhaps I'll see you there!
