Five or six grams of life, soft-furred and sharp-nosed, darting among the roots and leaf litter of a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. Australia’s only shrew, Crocidura trichura, has been declared extinct.

Princess Parrots Illustration!
A personal gift to my girlfriend. It has alot of symbolism and meaning. 2 Princess Parrots arrive at a lonesome young bovine skull. Admist the windswept views of the spinifex plains, a looming storm encroaches from the distance.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

I really like Linux Mint so far but boy have I struggled to get a few things working exactly the way I want them. Specifically remapping a couple of keys and getting my Silhouette Portrait to work with Inkscape (I ultimately got it tho!). Other than these everything has been great and smooth sailing
