All hail the Sand Queen! Great race by Inge van der Heijden at the CX Euros today. Just out in front the whole time, thanks to skill and teamwork. Sat down for a couple hours to make a postcard painting (5.5” x 3.5”) of her final lap, dutifully guarded by the X2O duckies.

I love everything Homestar, but I especially love this

Shades of “how bout a nice Hawaiian Punch”

Saw this on booooooom—a blackout/erasure tool (created by artist Emily Edwards) that posts a page from a public domain text everyday.

fouuund.it

Maybe not optimized for smartphones yet…anyway, I prefer the erasure toggle. Went minimalist with my first poem.

Oh man, if I had lived closer to this bar 15 years ago when I lived in Chicago…

Pretty cool that over the past few years women’s cycling has reached a point where the retirement of a legend is big deal. The peloton is always changing, I guess.

This is one of my favorite little paintings I’ve done. @lidltrek.bsky.social’s Ellen van Dijk on a solo break at Paris-Roubaix 2025.

Wow just finished up Stage 2 of the femmes, and just unbelievable. What a win, what a steal. So deserved. Goosebumps. #TDFF2025

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all.

The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.
Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

I keep checking in every so often, and honestly the Unbound live stream on YouTube has some actually pretty good footage. Kudos to them

Another great @lavueltafem.bsky.social, won by an indomitable Demi! There’s always a moment in a stage race that sticks with me. This time it was the peloton sweeping down past a rock formation for the Stage 3 intermediate sprint.

Here’s my postcard painting of it. 5.5” x 3.5” acrylic on canvapaper

Rewatched #parisroubaixfemmes to find a moment for a quick postcard painting today. Chose @lidltrek.bsky.social’s Ellen van Dijk on a breakaway, passing a pink flowering tree at 63 km. Perfect too, since she’s in the red jersey due to the TTT win at La Vuelta Fem.

Well, if recent history tells us anything, Puck Pieterse will take the Tour de France Femmes GC win this year…right?

Really enjoy these inside race day looks from @efprocycling.com.

A weird little poem of mine based on a note I scribbled down like 15 years ago.

Are those trees normally flowering at #ParisRoubaix? I feel like I don’t remember them.

Shout out to @josebeentv.bsky.social for her Scheldeprijs commentary work, digging into background of the Cynisca Cycling breakaway rider. Such a cool quote (paraphrasing here) from that rider: “I see artist and athlete as one and the same.” Love it!
