Artist for sculpture trails round the UK; dabbler in watercolour; learning and improving my art is my main aim.
Remembered I opened this account for arty things and need to stop getting sucked into the quagmire.
So have a feisty red kite I painted for my Valentine this year.

Good for artists, ya, but everyone: poison random web images, memes, social uploads
A small % makes the web less safe to scrape. My 2022 mac laptop did the attachment in 3 min. Noticeable on a solid color image like this--learn to like it ;)

It's my mum's 90th birthday today - what an absolute trooper. Her mahjong peeps made a mahjong-themed cake for her yesterday.

Great analogising. 😆
of the many successors that emerged from the transformation of the Roman West/ Twitter, some failed quickly (Post/ Ostrogoths), others became insular & technocratic (Mastodon/ Visigoths), yet more became decadent (Threads/ Byzantium), while still others adapted & thrived (Bsky/ Franks) #medievalsky
we all thought Twitter’s collapse would be swift and sudden like the fall of the Roman Empire but instead it’s been a steady, irreversible decay like the fall of the Roman Empire

Points - THIS!
lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider :
are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.
*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.
*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.
maybe you're not being negative *enough*

‘Chatoyant’, having a changeable luster like that of a cat's eye at night. I love fancy words.
Mostly graphite on paper washed with iridescent watercolor. 6”x6”. Warming up for a bigger piece, with pretty bloodsuckers… *cracks knuckles*
