 Here's a hybrid between a Nonogram and Tapa puzzle. Note that this puzzle breaks the rules of Tapa a bit. Creator's time:  1:48.0 Rules:  Shade some cells on the board according to the numbers. Clues outside the grid represent the lengths of each of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the corresponding row or column, in order from left to right or top to bottom. Rows or columns without numbers must remain empty. Clues inside the grid cannot be shaded, and represent the lengths of the blocks of consecutive shaded cells in the (up to) eight cells surrounding the clue. Numbers aren't necessarily in order. Note that in this variant, shaded cells may be separated and ARE allowed to form a 2x2 square. Difficulty:  5/14 Online interface (Penpa+)

Here's another Look-Air puzzle. This one has a bit of problems on its first draft in terms of uniqueness, but was later fixed. Creator's time:  2:58.3 Rules:  Standard Look-Air rules apply. In addition, each of the red, green, and blue grids acts as separate puzzles. Shade some cells on the board. Every group of shaded cells must form a filled square. Clues represent how many of the five cells forming a cross around the clue (including itself) are shaded. Two squares of the same size may not have a vertical or horizontal line of unshaded cells between them, unless obstructed by another square Difficulty:  4/14 Online interface (Penpa+)

 Hello! I'm starting a blog to post some of the pencil puzzles that I've constructed. I'll start off with some older puzzles, then work my way to posting some newer ones. Here's a puzzle genre that I've been trying to cram lately — Look-Air. Only this time, the board shape is not rectangular. Creator's time:  0:33.4 Rules:  Shade some cells on the board. Every group of shaded cells must form a filled square. Clues represent how many of the five cells forming a cross around the clue (including itself) are shaded. Two squares of the same size may not have a vertical or horizontal line of unshaded cells between them, unless obstructed by another square. Difficulty:  3/14 Online interface (Penpa+)
