a face drawn by a modestly talented man-child

Hi there, I'm Rafał Pastuszak. Untested is my digital garden. It's where I learn, share what I've learned, and work with the garage door up (111).

untested like undead, so not not-tested, but in a limbo causing constant fear and anxiety, boooo!

a dog saying: but wait! there is more!
a giant foot-shaped snail with a house on its back. the house is still in construction, with a big crane towering above it The image is a stylized black-and-white illustration. In the lower left corner, there is a small, cozy-looking house with smoke rising from its chimney. The smoke, however, does not dissipate into the air but instead forms a dark, looming cloud. Within the cloud, the silhouette of a large, menacing face is visible, with its eyes and nose peeking through the darkness. The creature, perhaps a cat, appears to be watching over the house ominously, creating a sense of foreboding or unease.
