(Except me poetry, haven't added that, just yet, not sure how it would go).

Nearly time to replace a few t-shirts that are far too old - this one is probably first on the list :D
Image of a baby greyhound in style of The Simpsons. The greyhound is standing on his hind legs with smile and his tongue out. Beneath, the name "Rory Calhoun" is printed. (The image references the famous Simpsons episode 'See my Vest')

It’s #PortfolioDay so might as well share some favourite photos from #Iceland :)
Black and white houses in a blizzard with a little church showing in the distance. B&W photo too. Sculpture in metal shaped like a Viking ship with pink skies. Green river flowing through a column lined with basalt columns. Layers and layers of mountains and sky with some vaguely pink light above. Overall the mountains look blue with the highest one which is snow-covered the furthest away.

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open. watercolour painting of two unicorns in a moonlit forest, one drinking from a dark pool in the foreground, the other keeping watch in the background in a clearing a little three eyed fluffy black creature sits among some antiques at the base of an old tree.

A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread. Romantasy book cover illustration: A dark, imposing castle with both Gothic and Ancient Greek elements, seen through a round frame of roses. Pink sand glitters around the roses and falls in the foreground. Among the roses we see a Spartan helmet, a shield, spears, and a small mouse. Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.

They are the Darkspawn from the Dragon Age games, undead creatures resembling goblins and ogres, they are well armored, brandishing sword, axes and halberds, crowded together and staring you down like they are posing for a horrific club photo for the yearbook. Chaos Witch Quelaag, from the game Dark Souls or What’s A Girl Like You (nude, long dark hair, sword) Doing on a Giant Flaming Soider Like This? Wendigo - creature from Algonquin legend. Head is an antlered deer skull. The body is a hairy gaunt humanoid creature. Rat King. Ten thousand scurrying rats fill the robe, hold the scepter, lift the sword, wear the crown. Digital painting.
